Abstract

Background

Access to schedules, protocols, and learning materials needs to be convenient and fast. Smartphones have become the default pathway for information access. The purpose of this study was to understand the impact of a smartphone application (app) on residency workflow and education.

Methods

After app development, a survey was conducted before and after implementation using Likert scales.Student's t-test was used for analysis.

Results

Pre-app, 76 ​% of faculty did not know the resident on call compared to 50 ​% post implementation (p ​< ​0.01). Pre-app, management algorithms required internet search; post-app no searching was required (p ​< ​0.05). Post-app, a printed call schedule became unnecessary and hospital operator calls decreased from daily to occasionally for residents and almost never for faculty (p ​< ​0.01).

Conclusions

A smartphone application has proven to be beneficial for consolidating resources and workflow to improve resident training and patient care.
针对外科住院医师的个性化智能手机应用:有用吗?
背景:访问时间表、协议和学习材料需要方便和快速。智能手机已经成为获取信息的默认途径。本研究的目的是了解智能手机应用程序对住院医师工作流程和教育的影响。方法:app开发完成后,采用李克特量表对应用实施前后进行问卷调查。采用学生t检验进行分析。结果:应用程序前,76%的教师不认识随叫随到的住院医师,而实施后这一比例为50% (p)。结论:智能手机应用程序已被证明有利于整合资源和工作流程,以改善住院医师培训和患者护理。
