Sampling Survey

Digital literacy and the associated skills are becoming the basic and essential skill set of any employer that wishes to survive in a highly competitive world. Given the global importance of these skills for many sectors including education, medicine, information technology, tourism, etc., the researchers sought to determine which digital literacy skills were most important in using digital technology, communications tools, and/or networks to access, manage, integrate, evaluate, create and communicate information in order to function in a knowledge society. From a multistage random sampling survey of 400 second semester university seniors finishing their degrees in 2014 at 9 Thai public and private universities, it was determined that the ability to evaluate was the most important skill indicator in the development of digital literacy. Analysis was conducted by use of LISREL 8.72.

The nature of emergency medicine is to be a transition hub for patients between providers, sites, and episodes of care. A critical safety hazard to EM patients is information loss between these nodes. Communication is information in motion. In emergency medicine, it proceeds at high density, precision, and tempo. A meaningful number of failures in EM care result from gaps in information management. Clinical communications involve myriad channels, which are increasingly electronic and asynchronous, beyond telephones, radios, pagers, and faxes. This chapter explores a range of electronic communication options and applications relevant to emergency medicine, with the objective of identifying benefits and risks to be considered when using health information technology to improve patient safety and care effectiveness.
