...Automated Discovery of Patient-Specific Clinician Information Needs Using Clinical Information System Log Files Elizabeth S. Chen, MPhil and James J. Cimino, MD Author information ► Copyright and License information ► This article has been cited by other articles in PMC. Go to: Abstract Knowledge about users and their information needs can contribute to better user interface design and organization of information in clinical information systems. This can lead to quicker access to desired information, which may facilitate the decision-making process. Qualitative methods such as interviews, observations and surveys have been commonly used to gain an understanding of clinician information needs. We introduce clinical information system (CIS) log analysis as a method for identifying patient-specific information needs and CIS log mining as an automated technique for discovering such needs in CIS log files. We have applied this method to WebCIS (Web-based Clinical Information System) log files to discover patterns of usage. The results can be used to guide design and development of relevant clinical information systems. This paper discusses the motivation behind the development of this method, describes CIS log analysis and mining, presents preliminary results and summarizes how the results can be applied. Go to: INTRODUCTION The availability of clinical information to the clinician at the point of care is essential to the health care process. Inability to locate needed information...

These strengths and weaknesses will tie in to a personal SWOT analysis which will combine to highlight the rationale behind the Personal Development Objectives outlined towards the end of the assignment. Telford states that ‘It’s hard to imagine that our self improvement efforts will be successful without considering what is this “self” we want to improve’ Telford (2005) p9. And it is this concept which is sometimes difficult for us to embrace. The notion of looking closely at oneself and carrying out a critical analysis can at times be quite uncomfortable but as demonstrated above it is necessary in order to embark upon the process of self improvement. Honey and Mumford The dictionary definition of learning is ‘to obtain knowledge or awareness of...

...the same as the syllabus; so please just copy from the syllabus of your program that is available at the Department Website) Social work practice is carried out through interactions between social workers and individuals, families, organizations and society. Social workers are inevitably shaped by their own experiences, beliefs, upbringing and culture, which might affect their interactions with these systems. This course encourages the students to start the reflective journey in visiting issues of self in relation to the perceived identity, intimacy, loss, family, and society. Through reflective exercises, discussions, and assigned readings, the students will develop a deeper understanding of their values, philosophy of life and behaviors, and how these in turn impact social work practice. The course adopts an active-learning and experiential approach. Assessment: 100% coursework. 5. Course Objectives: 1. To increase the reflexivity of the students 2. To enhance the development of self-understanding of the students in relation to their physical sensitivity, perspectives towards intimacy and loss, choices in life, and the value orientation towards broader social issues. 3. 4. To facilitate the students in examining the influences of their...

...Developing a Log-based Motivation Measuring Tool Arnon Hershkovitz and Rafi Nachmias1 {arnonher, nachmias}@post.tau.ac.il 1 Knowledge Technology Lab, School of Education, Tel Aviv University, Israel Abstract. The purpose of this study is to develop a conceptual framework and a tool for measuring motivation of online learners. The study was carried out in three phases, the first of which was the construction of a framework, based on an extensive literature review. Phase two consisted of identifying variables computable from log file data, associate with the framework and compatible with previous empirical research. For this purpose, an empirical study was designed and a specific learning environment focusing on vocabulary for adults was chosen. Log files of a large population (N=2,162) were collected and variables were identified using Learnograms, a visual representation of learning variables over time. This phase resulted in seven explicitly defined variables, along with a mechanism to calculate them from the raw log files. The third phase included preprocessing of the dataset (reducing it to 674 cases) and application of hierarchical clustering of the variables. This phase resulted in three clusters interpreted to fit the three dimensions of motivation defined in the framework. A discussion of this study and further research is provided. 1 Introduction Assessment of learners' motivation in online environments has been a challenge for both researchers...

...helps save the customer money that could have been spent on something else. “The term "customer value" should not be confused with the value of customers to businesses” (Wise Geek). A product or service can provide value in many ways as long as it refers only to the value that the customers receive, not to how valuable customers are. Not only does using value let the customer save money customer it can also save the consumer time by providing a benefit that may not been obtained without the product or increase the value of something the customer already owns. “Businesses of all sizes use customer value as part of a greater analysis to determine how well they are serving their customer base” (Wise Geek).There are several organizations that have taken on the concept of making their companies focus on “customer value” first such as Cheers Auto, PetCo, Enviro-log. When David and Randall founded Cheers Auto, they had the idea that they wanted a business with a “neighborhood auto repair facility that you, the customer, would feel...

Intruders utilized the data stolen to produce bogus credit/debit cards that can be used at self-checkouts without any risks, and had also employed gift card float technique. Case Analysis: TJX learnt about the hacking on December, 2006 through the presence of suspicious software and immediately called in Security consultants for assistance. TJX had been intruded at multiple vulnerable points – Encryption, Wireless attack, USB drives, Processing logs, Compliance and Auditing practice. Encryption - Intruder had accessed the card information during the approval process and had the decryption key for the encryption software used in TJX. This can be addressed by purchasing or designing an encryption algorithm that uses advanced encryption standards like asymmetric encryption algorithm, which employs a pair of keys (public and private) and uses a different component of the pair for different steps of the algorithm that complicates decrypting of the data packets.

...behaviors surrounding time management have a demonstrated relation to a student or professional’s perception of their ability to control their environment. This includes available time, response to stress in their environment, and level of performance. 1. Introduction One thing that can be heard ringing through any office building, college library or study hall, and many other professional settings is complaint. Complaint that there are not enough hours in the day, days in the week, weeks in the month, etc. How can we be expected to get all this done? All of these complaints lead to the discussion of managing one’s time. In order to manage your time, one must know what time management is. With a quick Google search, or a trip to the self-help section of the book store, you can find an abundance of resources ready at your fingertips, offering you various “must-have” guides to your time management success. One thing you will not find, however, is a consistent definition of time management. So what is time management? Time management is a concept that has been a topic of concern at the workplace for many years, dating back into the 1950s and 1960s. In order to address this topic, many experts have come up with ideas that would help people to learn to manage their time. These have been as simple as creating a to-do list and working from that, all the way to complex models including lists, prioritizing, working in time increments, etc. However,...
