Clinicians use these tools to rapidly consult the evidence at the point of care, a practice which has been found to reduce the time patients spend in hospitals, promote the quality of care and improve healthcare outcomes. Such tools include Medscape, VisualDx, Clinical Key, DynaMed, BMJ Best Practice and UpToDate. However, use of such tools has not yet been fully embraced in low-resource settings such as Uganda. Objective: This paper intends to collate data on the use and uptake of one such tool, UpToDate, which was provided at no cost to five medical schools in Uganda. Methods: Free access to UpToDate was granted through the IP addresses of five medical schools in Uganda in collaboration with Better Evidence at The Global Health Delivery Project at Harvard and Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Wolters Kluwer Health. Following the donation, medical librarians in the respective institutions conducted training sessions and created awareness of the tool. Usage data was aggregated, based on logins and content views, presented and analyzed using Excel tables and graphs. Results: The data shows similar trends in increased usage over the period of August 2022 to August 2023 across the five medical schools. The most common topics viewed, mode of access (using either the computer or the mobile app), total usage by institution, ratio of uses to eligible users by institution and ratio of uses to students by institution are shared. Conclusion: The study revealed that the tool was used by various user categories across the institutions with similar steady improved usage over the year. These results can inform the librarians as they encourage their respective institutions to continue using the tool to support uptake of point-of-care tools in clinical practice.展开更多

文摘Background: Clinical decision support tools provide suggestions to support healthcare providers and clinicians, as they attend to patients. Clinicians use these tools to rapidly consult the evidence at the point of care, a practice which has been found to reduce the time patients spend in hospitals, promote the quality of care and improve healthcare outcomes. Such tools include Medscape, VisualDx, Clinical Key, DynaMed, BMJ Best Practice and UpToDate. However, use of such tools has not yet been fully embraced in low-resource settings such as Uganda.

文摘With the continuous promotion of the construction of child friendly cities,the school commuting space is an important component of the construction of child friendly roads.Based on the background of child friendly cities,the commuting space of 11 primary and secondary schools in Bajiao Street is analyzed through literature analysis and field research methods.Firstly,the relevant literature on school commuting space is sorted out,and the characteristics of school commuting space are summarized,including transportation,landscape,culture,leisure,and security.Secondly,the characteristics of commuting space of primary and secondary schools in Bajiao Street are analyzed from three aspects:in front of the school gate,path space,and node space.This paper aims to provide reference and guidance for the future construction of children’s walking school commuting and promote the construction of a child friendly city.
文摘Geoscience education is crucial globally,yet its delivery in Malaysian schools remains inadequate despite increasing demand for geological services.This study examines perceptions of 157 newly enrolled students in geoscience,geology,and other science-based programs regarding the challenges in bridging the geoscience education gap from primary to pre-university levels in Malaysia.Findings indicate a moderately significant improvement in students'geoscience knowledge,with moderate perspectives on geoscience education before and after entering university.
文摘This paper pinpoints the deficiencies in aesthetic education within Beijing’s primary schools and delineates the strategy of the UPPE Project-short for“Universities’Participation in Primary Education”-for capitalizing on university resources to bolster this pivotal educational component.The project adopts a multi-pronged approach,including conducting needs assessments,integrating international expertise,and conducting systematic research to address pivotal issues.It introduces initiatives such as strategic planning,tiered educational goals,a closed-loop curriculum development,comprehensive course implementation,and the enhancement of cultural infrastructure in both software and hardware,along with the cultivation of diverse community groups.The project also prioritizes teacher professional development and collaborative pedagogical research,establishing a robust framework for cooperative and mutually beneficial outcomes.The conclusion highlights the project’s role in fostering sustainable development in aesthetic education,which is essential for the comprehensive enhancement of students’qualities.
