To identify, on the social network Instagram®, the understanding of students and nurses about the use of active methodologies in the teaching-learning process in Nursing. This is a descriptive, sectional study, with a quantitative approach applied through the use of Instagram® stickers to capture information from users about the use of the application as a teaching-learning tool. Research carried out with 34 participants, with a prevalence of females, aged between 18 and 24 years, white race, single marital status, Catholic religion and residents of the State of Rio de Janeiro, who mainly use the cell phone as a means of accessing the social network, in the night period. It was possible to identify the Instagram® social network as a teaching-learning resource through the affirmation of 100% of the participants. The importance of technologies in the health education process is perceived, not only for Nursing, but for all areas in which the contents are updated quickly. Therefore, Instagram® can be used as a teaching-learning strategy. Therefore, the product of this research, elaborated from the undergraduate course completion work, will contribute to teaching through information that nursing students and health professionals seek and consume on social networks.

Introduction: When providing healthcare, it is necessary to record treatment activities in the patient's electronic medical records, which serves as a tool that impacts several tasks, including those performed in intensive care units. Any failure of these electronic systems has a direct impact on the delivery of healthcare. This study is aimed to assess the perception of the use of electronic medical records and satisfaction levels among intensive care nurses, as well as to evaluate a questionnaire instrument for this purpose. Materials and Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted in São Paulo. The instrument used for collection was prepared by the authors, which was also validated in terms of appearance and content. Categorical variables were compared using Fisher's exact test and numerical variables were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: 75 nursing professionals, mostly women and classified as nurse technicians, participated in this study. The majority of the participants considered that electronic medical records were easy to use, indicated that they had sufficient knowledge about the management of electronic medical records, noted that the number of computer in the hospital was insufficient, and stated that both patient and healthcare team safety had improved after using the patient's electronic medical records. Male nurses found it more difficult to use this tool. Conclusions: Electronic medical records were found to be easy to use, while the main difficulties are related to their functionality, especially by male nurses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main goal of this paper is to propose the eXtensible Interface Model for Electronic Health Record (XIMEHR) based on standard ISO13606. Based on the concept of Design Science, this study is a response to the challenge of the final user's participation in the development of health information systems. Interfaces for Electronic Health Record are generated by a prototype that structures, organizes and manages clinical concepts. The prototype developed was evaluated and it fulfilled the purposes for which it was designed. At the same time that the model preserves the information structure, it also provides flexibility, reuse of the concepts and document standardization. We believe that this product will contribute to improve the quality of recorded clinical data and encourage the information exchange between electronic systems used in providing health care.

Objective: To construct a Portuguese language index of information on the practice of diagnostic radiology in order to improve the standardization of the medical language and terminology. Materials and Methods: A total of 61,461 definitive reports were collected from the database of the Radiology Information System at Hospital das Clínicas - Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto (RIS/HCFMRP) as follows: 30,000 chest x-ray reports; 27,000 mammography reports; and 4,461 thyroid ultrasonography reports. The text mining technique was applied for the selection of terms, and the ANSI/ NISO Z39.19-2005 standard was utilized to construct the index based on a thesaurus structure. The system was created in *html. Results: The text mining resulted in a set of 358,236 (n = 100%) words. Out of this total, 76,347 (n = 21%) terms were selected to form the index. Such terms refer to anatomical pathology description, imaging techniques, equipment, type of study and some other composite terms. The index system was developed with 78,538 *html web pages. Conclusion: The utilization of text mining on a radiological reports database has allowed the construction of a lexical system in Portuguese language consistent with the clinical practice in Radiology.

Objectives: to identify codes for constant proce dures in the Brazilian National Health System's Hospital Information System (SIH-SUS) deemed to be cases of Extremely Severe Maternal Morbidity (MMEG) and to develop an algorithm to manage/prepare an AIH database, with a view to identifying cases of MMEG in this database. Methods: the data used were from the SIH-SUS supplied by the Juiz de Fora Health Secretary and refer to admissions to SUS hospitals between 2006 and 2007. The study covered all admissions where the principal diagnosis involved all of Chapter XV of CID10 - complications of pregnancy, miscarriage, delivery and puerperium and/or admissions to hospital involving obstetric procedures. For identifi cation of SIH-SUS procedures deemed to be MMEG, the criteria proposed by the WHO were used. The algorithm was developed using Microsoft Access. Results: 326 cases of MMEG were found among the 8620 women selected, constituting a rate of 37.8/1000 women. The most frequent procedures were transfusion of blood products, "a longer stay" and severe pre-eclampsia/eclampsia, with a prevalence of 15.7/1000, 9.5/1000 and 8.2/1000, respectively. Conclusions: the algorithm used may optimize the use of the SIH-SUS for identifying cases of MMEG and generating information for maternal morbidity and mortality surveillance services and the evalua tion of obstetric care.

The growing implementation of clinical information systems has led to several transformations within hospitals. However, scientific literature has revealed that most of these enterprises fall short of their main objectives. Thus, from an explanatory-exploratory case study, this article investigates the main causes of the unsuccessful implementation of an electronic prescription system in a general hospital, adopting as its theoretical background the resistance to information systems, as developed by Kling (1980) and Markus (1983). The study shows, for the case under analysis, that the main hurdles to deploying the system successfully were: the age of the medical doctors; excessive concerns with the safety of the system; inadequate technological infrastructure; the medical doctors' employment relationship; and the interference of the system with the power and autonomy of the medical doctors. The paper concludes that the hospital's intra-organizational context must be analyzed in a systemic way, in order to fully understand how the system will be accepted and used by its main potential users - the medical doctors.
