Artificial intelligence and the adoption of new technology in medical education
Despite its paradigm changing potential, Webster argues Artificial Intelligence's reliance on context‐insensitive rules will limit its contributions to patient care decisions for the foreseeable future
Effective virtual patient simulators for medical communication training
Rasch analysis of the Perceived Stress Scale
Rasch analysis was conducted to enhance the precision of the widely used 10-item Perceived Stress Scale using two datasets ( n = 450 each) randomly selected from samples of the New Zealand general population ( n = 1102), New Zealand university students ( n = 479) and US university students ( n = 396). The best Rasch model fit ( χ2(27) = 29.92, p = .36), good person separation reliability (.80) and coverage (98%) of the sample by the scale items w…
Improving Measurement of Trait Competitiveness
Measuring competitiveness is necessary to fully understand variables affecting student learning. The 14-item Revised Competitiveness Index has become a widely used measure to assess trait competitiveness. The current study reports on a Rasch analysis to investigate the psychometric properties of the Revised Competitiveness Index and to improve its precision for international comparisons. Students were recruited from medical studies at a universit…
Safety in unpredictable complex systems – a framework for the analysis of safety derived from the nuclear power industry
The increasing complexity and power of our technologies compels us to find new ways in which to conceptualise, understand and maintain their safety in the long term. Some complex technological industries have performed better than others in terms of applying sustained and systematic approaches to the maintenance of safety. The United States nuclear power industry can be seen as an ideal test-bed for the development of safety initiatives, being re…
Overcoming complexity and improving the safety of medical systems
provides a potential bridge across which relevant concepts (and tools to support the construction of innovation management routines) might travel from a wellunderstood field to the newer one of soft innovation.Part 3 considers some of the implications of soft innovation and its economic and other impacts.It explores some of the key policy issues and also offers some directions for future researchsomething which, given the economic significance of…
Attitudes to Error and Patient Safety
The vast majority of patients clearly benefit from modern health care. However, the rate of injury and death inadvertently caused by medical treatment remains too high, and exacts enormous human and financial costs. Organisational change is not solely a technological issue however, and the attitudes of clinicians are critical to the successful improvement of safety and the effective re‐design of procedures and equipment. We purposively surveyed a…
