Practice Time

We observed 17 graduate and advanced-undergraduate piano majors practicing a difficult, three-measure keyboard passage from a Shostakovich concerto. Participants' instructions were to practice until they were confident they could play the passage accurately at a prescribed tempo in a retention test session the following day. We analyzed the practice behaviors of each pianist in terms of numeric and nonnumeric descriptors and ranked the pianists according to the overall performance quality of their retention tests. Results indicated no significant relationship between the rankings of pianists' retention test performances and any of the following variables: practice time, number of total practice trials, and number of complete practice trials. There were significant relationships between retention test rankings and the percentage of all performance trials that were performed correctly, r = —.51, the percentage of complete performance trials that were performed correctly, r = —.71, and the number of trials performed incorrectly during practice, r = .48. The results showed that the strategies employed during practice were more determinative of performance quality at retention than was how much or how long the pianists practiced, a finding consistent with the results of related research.

Practice Behaviors

This teaching note describes the author's experience with a multidimensional tool designed to facilitate student learning about family assessment within a cultural context. Using their own families as the system of analysis, students engaged in data gathering and organizing, interpretation, and presentation of a multi - generational family. The author links this tool to 2008 Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards practice behaviors; highlights and discusses family maps and a family cultural poem, “I Am From,” as the central components of this teaching tool; and provides recommendations for its use. Students’ “I Am From” poems are included as illustrations.

Abstract We developed and validated an algorithm that uses combinations of extractable electronic-health-record (EHR) indicators (diagnosis codes, orders for laboratories, medications, and referrals) that denote widely-recommended clinician practice behaviors: attention to overweight/obesity/body mass index alone (BMI Alone), with attention to hypertension/other comorbidities (BMI/Medical Risk), or neither (No Attention). Data inputs used for each EHR indicator were refined through iterative chart review to identify and resolve modifiable coding errors. Validation was performed through manual review of randomly selected visit encounters (n = 308) coded by the refined algorithm. Of 104 encounters coded as No Attention, 89.4% lacked any evidence (specificity) of attention to BMI/Medical Risk. Corresponding evidence (sensitivity) of attention to BMI Alone was identified in 96.0% (of 101 encounters coded as BMI Alone) and BMI/Medical Risk in 96.1% (of 103 encounters coded as BMI/Medical Risk). Our EHR data algorithm can validly determine provider attention to BMI alone, with Medical Risk, or neither.

Seriously Ill Patients

Background: Advance care planning for end-of-life care emerged in the mid-1970’s to address the need for tools, such as the advance directive (AD) legal document, to guide medical decision-making among seriously ill patients, their families, and healthcare providers. Objective: Study aims examine providers’ perspectives on AD education that involve examining (1) a range of attitudes about educating patients, (2) whether prior knowledge was associated with practice behaviors in educating patients, and (3) specific factors among healthcare providers such as characteristics of work setting, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors that may influence AD education and documentation. Design: To examine providers’ views, we conducted a cross-sectional, online survey questionnaire of healthcare providers using social media outreach methods for recruitment. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional survey design to examine the proposed aims. Healthcare providers, recruited through a broad approach using snowball methods, were invited to participate in an online survey. Logistic regression analyses were used to examine providers’ views toward AD education. Results: Of 520 participants, findings indicate that most healthcare providers said that they were knowledgeable about AD education. They also viewed providing education as beneficial to their practice. These findings suggest that having a positive attitude toward AD education and experiencing less organizational barriers indicate a higher likelihood that providers will educate patients regarding ADs. Conclusion: Various disciplines are represented in this study, which indicates that attitudes and knowledge influence AD discussions. The importance of AD discussions initiated by healthcare providers is critical to providing optimal patient-centered care.

Memory Support

Computers may have greatest educational impact on adult professional learners rather than as delivery devices for Computer Assisted Instruction in undergraduate settings. The applications of computers to medical education is reviewed with emphasis on recent application of computer capabilities to provide practicing physicians with memory support, profiles of practice for needs assessment, and diagnostic/management algorithms. The strategy of providing physicians with ongoing practice-related feedback in the form of confidential review of their prescribing practices is described as a model of an educational intervention which can be readily adapted to computer technology and would facilitate professional growth in adult learners which would be both timely and directly related to individual practice behaviors.
