Implementing a PDA Requirement: The Good, the Bad, and the Successful May 12, Spring CSG Meeting Brian Boston Georgetown University May 12, Spring CSG Meeting Brian Boston Georgetown University

School of Medicine Key Facts  700 Medical Students  No student computer requirement  Medical library is central technology provider  Wi-Fi network on campus  Clinical sites off-campus  Physicians using handheld devices  700 Medical Students  No student computer requirement  Medical library is central technology provider  Wi-Fi network on campus  Clinical sites off-campus  Physicians using handheld devices

Pre-PDA Requirement  “Unofficial” requirement  PDA potpourri  PDA station  Limited support and training  Device recommendations  “Unofficial” requirement  PDA potpourri  PDA station  Limited support and training  Device recommendations

Pre-PDA Requirement Issues  Difficult to support multiple devices  Syncing personal information on public PC  Application installation is time intensive  Device funding not allocated  Varying levels of student PDA adoption/use  Lack of driving purpose  Difficult to support multiple devices  Syncing personal information on public PC  Application installation is time intensive  Device funding not allocated  Varying levels of student PDA adoption/use  Lack of driving purpose

Why a PDA Requirement?  Meet LCME student clinical encounter requirement  Further informatics curriculum objectives  Manage support issues  Lower student costs  Formalize institutional commitment  Meet LCME student clinical encounter requirement  Further informatics curriculum objectives  Manage support issues  Lower student costs  Formalize institutional commitment

Patient and Clinical Encounter System

Components of PDA Requirement  Make the case  Set timeline and notify users  Select hardware  Purchase devices  Deploy software  Provide support/training  Make the case  Set timeline and notify users  Select hardware  Purchase devices  Deploy software  Provide support/training

Making the Case  School of Medicine formed Informatics PDA Committee  Committee coordinated with Information Services  Committee drafted formal PDA Requirement stating need  Committee on Medical Education approved plan  School of Medicine formed Informatics PDA Committee  Committee coordinated with Information Services  Committee drafted formal PDA Requirement stating need  Committee on Medical Education approved plan

Setting Timeline and Notifying Users  Requirement must be in place in year prior to be included in financial aid  Notified users well in advance of mandatory device  Distributed PDAs to 2nd-year students in March  Students used devices in spring course prior to 3rd-year clinical rotations  Requirement must be in place in year prior to be included in financial aid  Notified users well in advance of mandatory device  Distributed PDAs to 2nd-year students in March  Students used devices in spring course prior to 3rd-year clinical rotations

Selecting Hardware Why Palm Tungsten C?  PACE ran best on this Palm  PDA with Wi-Fi, SD slot, and keyboard  IMAP SSL  Within price range  Familiarity with device  History of supporting Palm OS

Purchasing Devices  Device cost part of student technology fee  Included in student financial aid package  PDA Bundle:  Tungsten C  SD Card  Palm Extended Warranty  Medical Dictionary  Reduced price through volume discounts (CDWG, PalmOne, and Stedman’s)  Device cost part of student technology fee  Included in student financial aid package  PDA Bundle:  Tungsten C  SD Card  Palm Extended Warranty  Medical Dictionary  Reduced price through volume discounts (CDWG, PalmOne, and Stedman’s)

Deploying Software Used CardBackup for installing software  Capture image of PDA applications on master device to an SD card  Retain application configurations  Select applications to backup  Quick and easy restoring of backup  Shareware  No advance setup of hardware needed Used CardBackup for installing software  Capture image of PDA applications on master device to an SD card  Retain application configurations  Select applications to backup  Quick and easy restoring of backup  Shareware  No advance setup of hardware needed

Providing Support/Training  Library created help guides for PDA support site  Library distributed quick start guide with PDAs  Information Services posted instructions for configuring  Library offered drop-in help sessions  Students shared tips among each other  Library created help guides for PDA support site  Library distributed quick start guide with PDAs  Information Services posted instructions for configuring  Library offered drop-in help sessions  Students shared tips among each other

Keys to Success  Assess need in light of curricular goals  Identify driving application/purpose  Integrate with institutional applications ( , calendar)  Limit platforms/devices  Test hardware/software  Tailor support/training  Assess need in light of curricular goals  Identify driving application/purpose  Integrate with institutional applications ( , calendar)  Limit platforms/devices  Test hardware/software  Tailor support/training

Future Goals/Options  Evaluate new devices  Review/evaluate Wi-Fi access  Integrate PACE with LDAP  Add content channels  Facilitate faculty adoption of PDAs  Investigate Blackboard PDA version  Offer course lecture podcasts  Evaluate new devices  Review/evaluate Wi-Fi access  Integrate PACE with LDAP  Add content channels  Facilitate faculty adoption of PDAs  Investigate Blackboard PDA version  Offer course lecture podcasts
