To integrate an Internet-based medical chart (IMC) system into a pharmacotherapy course to facilitate evaluation and feedback processes, foster development of written documentation skills, and prepare pharmacy students for future changes in electronic medical documentation systems.
An IMC system was introduced into a pharmacotherapy course for third-professional year pharmacy students and 4 "finish the SOAP note" activities were added to the curriculum. Students' performance on the SOAP notes were assessed by a team of evaluators. At the end of the semester, students and evaluators completed separate 6-item survey instruments concerning the usefulness of the IMC system in meeting the course objectives.
Students' performance on documentation activities improved over the course of the semester: 87% of the students avoided repeating previous mistakes by their final documentation activity. The vast majority of the students and evaluators found the system easy to use and the activities helpful.
The development, implementation, and initial expansion of the IMC system across both laboratory and pharmacotherapy courses was a success. Continued integration into clinical coursework is planned and will further expand opportunities for applied learning experiences to prepare students for their experiential program and beyond.
将基于互联网的病历(IMC)系统整合到药物治疗课程中,以促进评估和反馈过程,培养书面记录技能,并使药学专业学生为电子医疗记录系统的未来变化做好准备。
将IMC系统引入三年级药学专业学生的药物治疗课程,并在课程中增加了4项“完成SOAP病历”活动。由一组评估人员对学生在SOAP病历方面的表现进行评估。在学期末,学生和评估人员分别完成了一份关于IMC系统在实现课程目标方面有用性的6项调查工具。
学生在记录活动中的表现在整个学期中有所提高:87%的学生在最终记录活动中避免了重复之前的错误。绝大多数学生和评估人员认为该系统易于使用,活动很有帮助。
IMC系统在实验室和药物治疗课程中的开发、实施和初步扩展取得了成功。计划继续将其整合到临床课程中,并将进一步扩大应用学习经验的机会,使学生为其实践项目及以后的学习做好准备。
