Provider documentation of patient education: a lean investigation

Purpose

The study evaluates how providers give patient education materials and identifies improvements to comply with Meaningful Use (MU) requirements.

Methods

Thirty-eight patient-provider interactions in two health care outpatient clinics were observed.

Results

Providers do not uniformly know MU patient education requirements. Providers have individual preferences and find gaps in what is available. Accessing and documenting patient education varies among providers. Embedded electronic health record (EHR) materials, while available, have technical access barriers.

Conclusions

Providers'' EHR skills and knowledge levels contribute to non-standardized patient education delivery.

How system quality influences mobile BI use: The mediating role of engagement

Despite the recognized value that mobile BI (m-BI) brings to firms, our understanding of the use of m-BI and its determinants are limited. In this study, we suggest that m-BI system quality characteristics may be among the factors that influence m-BI use. Yet, in the information systems (IS) literature there is mixed support for the relationship between system quality and system use at the individual level. Given there is research suggesting that engaged users are an indication of the technology’s success, we believe that ‘engagement’ may be the key to understanding the relationship discrepancy between system quality and use. To address this gap, we conducted a quantitative study of key informants who use m-BI, to understand what the key m-BI capabilities are and other success dimensions perceived as important by users. The results indicate that m-BI system quality attributes affect m-BI use indirectly through engagement, with this finding contributing to understanding of the complexity of IS use in mobile technologies.     

“记者”一词在中国的出现和使用

指称新闻采写编评者的“记者”一词,在19世纪末、20世纪初开始进入中文报刊,并被普遍使用,但最初主要指报刊的评论写作者而言。在这一过程中,日本报刊“记者”一词的使用和松本君平《新闻学》一书的汉译起到了很大的推动作用。

Pathways of Immigrant Political Socialization: Examining the Role of News Media,Social Connections,and Community Interaction

Going beyond the traditional socioeconomic status model of political participation, this study examines pathways that lead to the sociopolitical incorporation of immigrants in the USA, with a focus on the role of communication socialization agents. Using a Current Population Survey sample of 7,626 first-generation immigrants in the USA, results show that communication socialization agents significantly contribute to immigrants’ political socialization, and an important mediating path translates political learning into greater political engagement. Results also identify ethnic differences in how socialization variables affect immigrants’ socialization.     

Beyond Individualism-Collectivism and Conflict Style: Considering Acculturation and Media Use

Opportunities for individuals from varied cultural backgrounds to interact, and therefore conflict, are inherently greater because the technologies, economies, and livelihoods of people of many countries are increasingly interdependent. In light of globalization, it is ever more valuable to understand how culture influences the way people manage conflict. The purpose of this study was to examine factors influencing people's individualistic-collectivistic culture tendencies and conflict styles, and whether or not acculturation is a moderating factor between individualism-collectivism and conflict style among foreign nationals living within the United States. In addition to acculturation, researchers also measured media use. The data revealed statistically-significant relationships for media-use and acculturation on individualism-collectivism and conflict styles, and supported the idea that acculturation is a moderating factor between individualism-collectivism and conflict style, although this relationship was only significant among those who preferred the dominating conflict style.     

从"全民健身体系"到"多元化全民健身服务体系"的理性认识

运用献法把“全民健身体系”和“多元化体育服务体系”的起源和发展历程放到国家改革、发展的大背景中去阐释,采用比较方法衍生出“全民健身体系”与“多元化体育服务体系”之间的一脉相承的关系,最后,在“以人为本”的“科学发展观”的指导下,从理论和实践两个方面,论证了“全民健身体系”和“多元化体育服务体系”走向统一,即“多元化全民健身服务体系”的可行性和必要性。
