How should Medical Students Be Allowed to Access and Utilize the Electronic Medical Recording System During the Bed-side Learning?: The Dilemma between Information Security and Educational Support / 医学教育

Medical students must be able to access electronic medical records and to utilize the information during bedside learning. However, there are no guidelines for using the electronic medical record system in undergraduate medical education. We created and implemented a written agreement regarding regulations for using the system. To ensure system security, users are authenticated with a fingerprint mouse. The patients' information can be retrieved from an Intranetbased reference database, and students' sheets are prepared for training in writing medical records. In conclusion, this method is a way of enhancing the authenticity of clinical education.

Medical Informatics Training During Clinical Clerkship and the Shift from Computer Literacy to Information Literacy / 医学教育

A clinical clerkship in medical informatics was introduced in the 5th year of medical school. One goal is computer literacy, which means comprehension of the hospital information system including security policy and privacy preservation. The other is information literacy; The students make presentations concerning the medical information system and information technology within approximately ten minutes. All participants were enthusiastic about preparing the presentation. Seventy percent of them acknowledged the significance of explaining persuasively to others what they studied and the usefulness of these skills developed in this clerkship in their future. This result implies the importance of the shift to information literacy.
