“…Mobile devices are changing the landscape of health care and e-learning environments. They are being used to extend the human mind's limited capacity to recall and process vast amount of relevant data to support information management, general administration, and clinical practice [5]. Gaglani and Topol argue that medical schools should make efforts to integrate mobile technologies into their curriculum [4].…”

Objectives: This systematic review examines types of mobile devices implemented in health professions education, kinds of resources and tools accessed by health professions students via mobile devices, and reasons for using mobile devices to access the resources and tools. Methods:The review included studies published in English between January 2010 and April 2015 with empirical data retrieved from PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL and eight other databases..Data extracted included participants characteristics, study design, mobile devices used, mobile resources/apps accessed, outcome measures, outcomes, and advantages of and barriers to using mobile devices to access resources. Results:The authors identified 20 articles that satisfied the inclusion criteria. There was significant variability across the studies in terms of research methods, types of mobile programs implemented, resources accessed, and outcomes. The majority of the studies show higher acceptability and usability of mobile devices for activities pertaining to resources utilization, learning, and patient care. Conclusions:Beneficial effects of using mobile devices to access a wide range of knowledgebased resources and mobile apps were evidenced through the synthesis. The findings of the studies also reveal conspicuous challenges or barriers faced by students in using mobile devices. Implications:The findings suggest immediate implications for health sciences libraries and imply new opportunities for librarians to launch innovative initiatives to develop mobile programs to facilitate access to mobile resources and accelerate integration of mobile technologies into teaching, learning, and clinical practice. Funding:Research was performed with no external funding.2

“…Another difference is that the current research collected data from community physicians, which is different with the scope of the research by Peikari et al 12 Community health professionals face more challenge in using EHS compared with those professionals working in hospitals, 13 and therefore more research is needed to study the impacts of such systems on community health professionals. Moreover, because medical errors are known as an index for patient safety and care quality, 33,34 recognizing the effects of e-prescribing usability on medical errors can improve our knowledge about the relationship between e-prescribing systems usability with patient safety and care quality. Doctors are the second victims of medical errors because of the sentimental, legal, and professional issues faced.…”

Background: Medical errors are common in hospitals, and research is always needed to find ways of reducing these. This study attempts to address three gaps in this field. First, the factors leading to the reduction of mental workload and its relationship with the reduction of prescribing errors by improving electronic prescribing (e-prescribing) usability have not been empirically examined before. Second, the past research in the field of e-prescribing usability lacks robust theoretical models. Third, there are no existing studies to examine the direct influences of user interface consistency and error prevention with the reduction of mental workload and prescribing errors. Materials and Methods: A quantitative survey method was used to collect data from 188 community physicians. The partial least squares path modeling technique was applied to analyze the data. Results: Prescribing errors were reduced by improving the information quality, user interface consistency, system ease of use, and mental workload reduction. Mental workload is reduced by ease of use, error prevention, and consistency. No significant relationships between prescribing error reduction with error prevention and also between information quality with mental workload reduction were found. Conclusions: The designers of e-prescribing should improve the error prevention and consistency of the system and make it easy to use if they wish for the system to reduce users' mental workload. They should also improve the system information quality, ease of use, and consistency if they claim that their system reduces physicians' prescribing errors. The system should also reduce users' mental workload to meet this objective.

SUMMARYResidents living in a nursing home usually have established medical histories in multiple sources, and most previous medicine management systems have only focused on the integration of prescriptions and the identification of repeated drug uses. Therefore, a comprehensive medicine management system is proposed to integrate medical information from different sources. The proposed system not only detects inappropriate drugs automatically but also allows users to input such information for any non-prescription medicines that the residents take. Every participant can fully track the residents' latest medicine use online and in real time.Pharmacists are able to issue requests for suggestions on medicine use, and residents can also have a comprehensive understanding of their medicine use. The proposed scheme has been practically implemented in a nursing home in Taiwan. The evaluation results show that the average time to detect an inappropriate drug use and complete a medicine record is reduced. With automatic and precise comparisons, the repeated drugs and drug side effects are identified effectively such that the amount of medicine cost spent on the residents is also reduced. Consequently, the proactive feedback, real-time tracking, and interactive consulting mechanisms bind all parties together to realize a comprehensive medicine management system.
