Project Description:
The grant is for nurses, physicians and other medical staff to have hundreds of mobile performance support applications on a single iPod device. Each device will have more than 1000 short nursing skills for each specialty that the nurses will be able to use at the point of care on an iPod (see catalog and some sample modules at http://hospitalutube.com/demo/). Clinical content will also be available in Flash format. In addition, devices will also be preloaded with dozens of other clinical decision support tools, medical calculators, CE/CME and other patient care databases. Literally, each clinician would have to spend hundreds of dollars themselves to purchase this content. Instead, ALL of this content is covered under our grant for the hospitals that qualify and for every clinician in their system. Hospital U is a not-for-profit learning collaborative that has been conducting these types of programs for the past 10 years, and this is the most exciting technology we have designed with grant monies.
