The Utilization of Physician Cell Phone Numbers by Patients in an Orthopaedic Surgery Practice.

IntroductionOrthopaedic surgeons choose to manage communication with their patients outside of official visits and interactions in a variety of ways, with some choosing to provide their personal cell phone number in order to provide patients with direct accessibility. The objective of this prospective study is to explore to what extent patients utilize the cell phone numbers of orthopaedic surgeons in the immediate period after it is provided to them.MethodsSeven fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeons from five different subspecialties in a single private, multi-site group each provided his/her personal cell phone number to 30 consecutive patients. The surgeon’s phone number was written down on a business card, and the surgeons themselves provided the card to the patient. Phone calls and voice mail messages received in the 30 days following the patient receiving the phone number were recorded, and the reasons for these calls were categorized as being “appropriate” (e.g. acute postoperative issues, unclear instructions) or “inappropriate” (e.g. administrative issues, medication refills, advanced imaging-related inquires).ResultsTwo-hundred seven patients with an average age of 51.5 years were provided cell phone numbers. During the 30 days following administration of cell phone numbers to each patient, 21 patients (10.1%) made calls to their surgeons, for an average of 0.15 calls per patient. Six patients (2.9%) called their surgeons more than once. Seventeen calls (54.8%) were deemed appropriate, while 14 calls (45.2%) were inappropriate. Logistic regression analysis did not reveal patient age, sex, type of visit, or surgeon subspecialty to be independently associated with calling.ConclusionOur study has demonstrated a low rate of patient utilization of surgeon cell phone number when provided to them. If surgeons choose to provide their cell phone number to patients, we recommend specifying appropriate reasons to call in order to maximize the effectiveness of this communication method.

Cell Phone Ownership and Cellular Text/Email Capabilities Among Temporary and Payroll Construction Workers

Background: With high rates of temporary workers and a transient worker population, the U.S. construction workforce presents a challenge for long-term research and outreach activities. Increasing availability of affordable cell phone technologies may provide an opportunity for research follow-up among construction workers once they leave the worksite. Using pilot study survey data we characterize and examine the association of cell phone technology ownership and cellular text/email services among a non-probabilistic sample of payroll and temporary construction workers.Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used to administer a one-time paper-based anonymous survey to construction workers working at construction sites in Florida, USA. The survey featured questions on sociodemographic characteristics, occupational history, cell phone technology ownership, and cellular text/email services capabilities.Results: Among the 223 construction worker survey respondents, 31.4% identified as temporary workers and 68.6% were on payroll and 87.4% owned a cell phone. Construction workers who own a cell phone had greater than a high school education (28.9% vs. 25.0%; p = 0.019), made >$30,000/year (27.1% vs. 14.8%; p = 0.011), had same cell phone number for >1 year (74.4% vs. 40.7%; p = 0.001), and were employed as a payroll worker (71.0% vs. 50.0%; p = 0.037). Temporary construction workers compared to their payroll counterparts were significantly less likely to have email services on their cell phone [unadjusted-odds ratio 0.41 (95% CI: 0.17–0.97)].Conclusion: Cell phone ownership and smartphone-enabled technologies such as email/texting capabilities are higher among payroll than temporary construction workers. Further research on frequency of cell phone use and types of email/texting services used by construction workers are needed.

Abstract TP389: Collaborative Approach to Improving Tele Stroke Call Back Times

Background/Purpose: Emergency stroke evaluation requires rapid access to stroke experts for treatment decisions and advice, in many community settings this is facilitated through a hub and spoke telemedicine relationship. Since widespread adoption of the expanded endovascular time window, volume of calls to a single large academic hub stroke center have drastically increased and it was identified that there was a delay in achieving rapid connection to the hub sites which may result in delayed tPA evaluations. We sought to implement a focused process review to improve timely access to the hub stroke team. Methods: Leadership from the hub and spoke hospitals collaboratively reviewed and implemented steps to improve the time from spoke call out to hub call back for acute stroke. Interventions included: 1) Establishing a goal of less than 10 minutes for physician contact on all cases, 2) Revising spoke protocol to call out immediately following CT instead of after CT read, 3) Development of a stroke call out log that is shared between sites, 4) Hub hospital revised protocol to have cases within tPA time window bypass phone call and go directly to camera, 5) Exchange of direct cell phone numbers for follow-up questions on existing patients, 6) Weekly calls to discuss any video case time delays and time flow review, 7) development of a hub hospital call center escalation process for when the primary call physician has multiple calls coming in. Results: Data we analyzed through retrospective review of a prospectively collected database over a five month period. Results are displayed in the table 1. Conclusions: Improved process flow times within tele-stroke networks may be achieved through a focused collaborative relationship between hub and spoke hospitals with transparency of data and open discussion about barriers to achieving desired results.

This work examines the issues related to self-assess among the private autonomous engineering college library facilities and the staff strength of Andhra Pradesh, India. This paper tries to assess the particulars of college and availability of library facilities, infrastructures, e-resources, total library staff strength in these libraries based on a survey method. Libraries need professionally qualified as well as supporting staff to plan, direct and supervise various library operations, where professional and supporting staff performance is very important. Any library will develop their services based on the sufficient staff. To assess the library services will depend on the sufficient staff. The target population of the study consisted of librarians in these college libraries. The study is undertaken to survey the autonomous engineering college libraries present status and to assess the library facilities and infrastructure gaps among these college libraries and where the areas of shortage need to be found. Andhra Pradesh has a total 50 autonomous engineering colleges up to academic year 2018–19 as per UGC records. Retrieved from https://ugc.ac.in/subpage/Autonomous_Colleges.aspx out of 50, 5 are government running and the remaining 45 are under private management running autonomous engineering colleges. The 45 private autonomous engineering college libraries had been selected for my study. At first I collected these librarian names, cell phone numbers and e-mail ids. Closed form questionnaire was prepared and mailed to all the librarians. The questionnaire was belonging to various conventional favourable self-assessment procedures of libraries. Preliminary data were collected from 8 colleges on the appointment visit, 15 colleges sent by post, 18 colleges sent by e-mail and 4 colleges not replied any way. Total 41 colleges reacted. The college librarian's reply rate was 91%. This article pinpoints library user services gaps, library infrastructure gaps, ICT infrastructure gaps and shortfall of professional staff in these college libraries. The study suggests useful findings for these college libraries to make a development of library infrastructure, different user services, user facilities, ICT infrastructure and increase of professional staff. This will help the librarians to know their libraries about strengths and areas of improvements. Learning is a life-long activity to all the library staff. This paper tries to assist the library and professional development activities.

PROBLEMATIKA PENGATURAN CYBERSTALKING (PENGUNTITAN DI DUNIA MAYA) DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN ANNONYMOUS ACCOUNT PADA SOSIAL MEDIA

The internet is a new world where humans interact, without limitation of distance and time. In the real world, as legal subjects, everyone must have a clear identity, proof of identification, so that the state can recognize it and the law can be upheld against it, as well as the law can protect their rights. Social media which is currently developing, allows everyone to appear and interact in cyberspace either by showing their true identity, or by using fake identities, or even interacting without identity (annonymous). Easily each person can create more than one e-mail account, which can be used to create more than one social media account. Although the creation of e-mail and social media accounts is through the cell phone number verification stage, this does not solve the problem because anyone can easily have multiple cellphone numbers. A person in cyber world can be an anonymous subject and take various actions that harm others, including stalking others. Stalking, done by the person behind an anonymous account is an annoying action, has not been regulated clearly in Indonesian. This paper is the result of a normative juridical study. Result of this research is: criminal law regulation system in Indonesia regulated cyberstalking as long as the action consist of delivery of illegal contents such as threats, obscene content and insults. Further regulation is still needed, especially regarding law enforcement mechanisms for perpetrators that are difficult to reach due to the use of the anonymous account.

The Effects of Text Messaging for Promoting the Retention of the First-Time Blood Donors, a Randomized Controlled Study (TEXT study)

Introduction Recruiting blood donors remains a challenging process to ensure sufficient blood product supplies. There were several interventions implemented in order to promote the retention of first-time donors, including short messaging service (SMS). However, the efficacy of SMS for promoting the retention of blood donation has never been demonstrated in a randomized controlled trial. Here, we report the interim analysis of the TEXT study. Methods This is a single center, randomized- controlled trial. We enrolled participants 18 years of age or older who were first-time blood donors and who were able to read and understand text messages. Participants were excluded if the purposes of blood donation were as follows, autologous donation, apheresis or blood letting. Participants were also excluded if they had no cell phone number or lived temporarily in the area. Participants were randomized within 24 hours followed the blood donation in a 1:1 ratio (text group vs control group). Only participants who were allocated in the "text group'' would receive a computer-generated text message once his/her blood product was dispatched from the transfusion service. The content of text message was "We would like to inform you that your blood has been used for patients on DD.MM.YYYY. Because of your blood donation, patients' lives will be saved." The primary outcome of the study was the rate of returning for the second donation at 6 months. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for retention rate was calculated based-on a modified intention-to-treat analysis. Results In a modified intention-to-treat analysis, there were 867 participants allocated to the text group and 864 participants to the control group (Figure 1). Mean age was 26.1 (standard deviation, SD 9.2) and 26.2 (SD 9.4) years, respectively. The primary outcome occurred in 120 of 867 (13.8%) in the text group and 89 of 864 (10.3%) in the control group, OR 1.40 (95%CI 1.04 to 1.87, P-value=0.02). Number needed to treat was 29. Figure 2 demonstrates the Kaplan-Meier curves of participants who returned for the second blood donation comparing between text and control groups. The median time for returning was 119 days (interquartile range, 95.5-150.5) in text group and 119 days (interquartile range, 98-148) in control group. Subgroup analysis does not show significant interactions between participants' characteristics and outcome. Conclusion Among first-time blood donors, text messaging after blood product being dispatched is a simple, inexpensive and effective intervention to increase the retention rate for second donation at 6 months duration. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Sending patients electronic reminders on the need for urgent treatment to prevent life-threatening illnesses: Some lessons to be learned and a cautionary reminder

A patient’s widow recently successfully sued a doctor who had not followed up on unanswered SMS (text) messages sent to her husband warning him that he needed urgent treatment for a life-threatening form of malaria. The messages had gone to her late husband’s previous cellphone number and were never received by him. The doctor raised several false defences and attempted to defend himself without being represented by a lawyer. This article highlights a number of important lessons about the dangers of relying exclusively on electronic messaging, raising spurious defences, and resorting to self-representation in serious malpractice cases. It also makes some suggestions on what should be done to avoid such dangers.

Recognize Flexible Malevolent Web pages in Real Time

Mobile precise internet web sites dissent drastically from their computer laptop equivalents in cloth, format and functionality. Sooner or later, present techniques to sight detrimental net internet internet sites rectangular movement now not probably to determine for such webpages. During this paper, we often typically have a propensity to format and exercising paintings over, a mechanism that distinguishes amongst terrible and benign mobile net net web sites. Activity over makes this energy of will supported normal picks of a net internet web page beginning with the quantity of iframes to the life of identified dishonourable cellular mobile cellphone numbers. First, we have a tendency to via attempting out show the requirement for mobile information strategies so installation a spread of new regular options that very correlate with cellular malicious pages. We will be predisposed to then use work over to a dataset of over 350,000 famous benign similarly to volatile cellular webpages and show 90th accuracy in splendor. In addition, we frequently normally normally have a tendency to discover, end up aware of and furthermore document choice of websites incomprehensible through Google Safe Surfing and furthermore Virus Total, however decided through art work over. Lastly, we will be inclined to growth a web browser extension victimization undertaking over to comfortable customers from damaging mobile internet web sites in length. In doing consequently, we provide the number one everyday assessment technique to view volatile cellular webpages

Gateless communication: A concept analysis.

The movement toward the use of electronic technologies in everyday life has also impacted healthcare. Patient portals allow patients to send messages to their healthcare team from the comfort of their own homes and even on mobile devices. With responses typically sent within 24 business hours, some patients are looking for more timely feedback to their health questions. This is true in behavioral health, where real-time communication between psychologist-patient is valued. It is not uncommon for psychiatric providers including psychiatrists and nurse practitioners to provide personal cell phone numbers or secure-texting services to their patients. The real-time texting that occurs between patients and providers is emerging as a new way in which information is shared. A literature review in PubMed and CINAHL revealed a plethora of research conducted on information exchanged via the patient portal; however, there appears to be a gap in the information known about direct patient-provider communication that utilizes other types of technology. This concept analysis looks at this type of communication and proposes that a new concept be developed to perform future research studies. "Gateless communication" will be explored using a previous paper eight-step method for conceptualizing this new concept.

Sample and Respondent Provided County Comparisons Among Cellular Respondents Using Rate Center Assignments.

The percentage of cell phones in telephone survey samples continues to grow in proportion to the percentage of potential respondents who rely on cell phones for personal communication. One problem with cell phone samples is that persons who move or who purchase cell phones in locations not close to their residence, may not be eligible for surveys with geographic parameters. This affects researchers' ability to sample and analyze from specific geographic jurisdictions. Because cell phone numbers do not accurately indicate respondent locations, rate centers have been used to ascertain respondent locations in recent years. The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is a state-based telephone survey administered to over 400,000 respondents annually. Approximately half of the sample is drawn from cell phone numbers. This research examines the county-level accuracy of the 2016 BRFSS sample. Results indicate that cell phone samples are accurate at the state and county level 58% of the time and at just the state level 93% of the time. However, accuracy rates vary by state, region, metropolitan status as well as by demographic characteristics and survey items. Specific examples of when county-level accuracy vary are provided.

PENGEMBANGAN SISTEM PENDETEKSI BANJIR MENGGUNAKAN FUZZY DENGAN RASPBERRY PI (STUDI KASUS: KABUPATEN SAMPANG)

Flooding is a natural disaster that is troubling for the community. Floods occur due to overflowing water from rivers, lakes, or gutters. The flood also caused material losses and even caused casualties. Sampang Regency is one of the districts located on Madura Island which is often flooded.The Raspberry Pi is a mini computer that is capable of performing the same tasks as a computer. The use of the Raspberry Pi as a server is more efficient than using a PC server which in terms of price is very expensive. The Raspberry Pi can also be combined with various sensors because it has 40 pins as a connector. The Parallax Ping sensor is an ultrasonic sensor that can detect the distance of an object by emitting ultrasonic waves with a frequency of 40 KHz and then detecting the reflection. By using an ultrasonic sensor as a water level counter, the height value of the river will be obtained. From this height value, it is then processed using the fuzzy mamdani method to produce a river water level status. This elevation status will then be informed to the public.Based on the test results, this flood detection system uses an ultrasonic sensor as a water level meter that is controlled by the Raspberry Pi. Data from ultrasonic sensors then calculated by fuzzy mamdani method can produce water level status. The water level status is obtained from the height data of the water surface calculated by using an ultrasonic sensor. The water level status is then sent to a cellphone number using a wavecom modem.

Telephone surveys under different frame constructions—evaluating differences in estimates, precision, and cost

ABSTRACTDual-frame, random-digit-dialing (DFRDD) surveys, using a frame of landline telephone numbers and a frame of cell phone numbers, have become the norm for telephone surveys. Two alternative frame constructions sample exclusively from a cell phone frame, referred to as the ‘single-frame cell,’ and sample from the listed landline frame and the cell phone frame, referred to as ‘listed/cell.’ The listed/cell frame construction differs from the DFRDD in that it does not select unlisted-landline frame members. We observe in our simulated data that the listed/cell frame construction results in estimates that more closely approximate the estimates from DFRDD compared with the single-frame cell, results in an improvement in precision compared with the DFRDD that is not as large as the improvement in the single-frame cell, and has lower cost than both the DFRDD and the single-frame cell. We conclude that a listed/cell frame construction might be a better solution than either a DFRDD or single-frame cell frame construction.

Measuring the Brand Equity of NGO’S in Case of MAHAK (The Organization to Support Children Suffering from Cancer)

Brand equity considered as a cue to make judgments about products and their attributes. The issue of brand equity has emerged as one of the most crucial topics for customer-based perspectives in marketing management. So this study investigates the relation between brand equity and these four factors at MAHAK. The present research is an applied-descriptive research and the research project is a correlational research of the SEM type. To measure the brand equity of NGOs, MAHAK has been selected, as a case study. The statistical population of this research includes donors of MAHAK. In order to choose participants, random selection was performed among those who have cell phone numbers. From among 610 randomly chosen individuals 310 of them were reluctant to answer and 300 individuals were chosen as statistical population of this research. For measuring the brand equity, quantitative methods are used, focusing on the quantitative approach. The results showed that all independent research variables have significant effect on dependent research variable.

Seroprevalence of markers of hepatitis C virus exposure and associated factors in adults aged 18-39 years in the Arctic Russian city of Arkhangelsk: a cross-sectional study

ABSTRACT Hepatitis C, caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV), is a major public health issue in Russia. The aim of our study was to assess the seroprevalence of markers of HCV exposure and factors associated with HCV seropositivity among the general population aged 18–39 years in the city of Arkhangelsk, Northwest Russia. A social research agency applied a quota sampling method to recruit study participants using cell phone numbers. All participants (n = 1243) completed a self-administered questionnaire and provided a blood sample. Sixty-five participants (5.2%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.9–5.5) tested positive for HCV IgM+G antibodies, and of these, 55 (84.6%) did not know that they were exposed to HCV. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, HCV seropositivity was significantly associated with older age, a history of injecting drug use, and having ever received a blood transfusion. To reach the goal of the World Health Organisation’s Global Health Sector Strategy on Viral Hepatitis, regional preventive programmes should include measures to reduce injecting drug use as well as scaling up harm-reduction and treatment programs for drug addicts.

Awareness, Perception and Preferences of Mothers towards Mobile Phone Reminders for Routine Childhood Immunization Appointments in Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital Shika,Zaria,Nigeria

Background: Adherence to childhood immunization schedules is a function of various factors. Given the increased use of technology as a strategy to increase immunization coverage,the aim of the study was to determine the awareness, perception and preferences of mothers towards mobile phone reminders for routine childhood immunization appointments in Ahmadu Bello university teaching hospital, Shika.,Zaria Methods & Materials: A cross-sectional descriptive study among 300 mothers’/care givers attending routine childhood immunization clinic in ABUTH Shika were selected using systematic random sampling technique. Data was collected using the Open Data Kit (ODK), which sought information on socio-demographic characteristics, awareness, perception and preferences of mothers towards mobile phone reminders for routine childhood immunization appointments, and data was analyzed using SPSS version 21 and results were presented in tables and charts. Relationship between categorical variables were assessed using Chi Square test at P < 0.05. Results: Most of the respondents were within the age group 25-29 years (27.3.0%) years, with a mean age of 28.66, employed,(49.3%) and had secondary school education (42. 7%).Majority of the respondents had mobile phones (78.3%), 96.3% had good perception and only 23.3. % had ever heard of RI reminder. However, 86.0% were willing to give their cell phone numbers in the clinics for RI reminder, 83.7% were willing to receive and 72.5% were willing to pay for RI reminder. The preferred communication modes were cell phone calls (77.7%) or text messages/SMS (70.9%), and 16.3% were not willing to receive any form of RI reminder. There was significant statistical relationship between educational status, socioeconomic status, and phone ownership of mothers with being aware of RI reminder. Conclusion: The respondents had good perception, but lack awareness, on immunization reminder and they prefer phone call and SMS for childhood RI reminder,therefore the need for public awareness on use of mobile phones for RI reminder and recording of mobile phone numbers during Antenatal visits.

Visitor’s perspective of Patan Hospital, Patan Academy of Health Sciences, Nepal

A local man sits on the pavement in Patan Durbar Square at one am. A taxi driver calls a cell phone number I handed to him that belongs to the guesthouse I am staying at. Both of them are strangers to me, but go out of the way to make sure I reach home safe. It struck a chord, nice warm people and very hospitable. The next morning begins with meeting Mr. Shakya, the person in charge of visitors at Patan hospital, touring the hospital, including the outpatient department, emergency room, wards, auditorium, and medical school. I’m greeted with Namaste, and introduced as “tyo America ma doctor ho”. This is followed by a most important visit to the cafeteria. We go over the menu. I am told the most popular options and also advice to not order ‘jawanoko jhol” (for nursing females only, helps let down), I am told this will be explained soon in private. Curiosity grew. This hospital tour has surprised me because what I had in mind was a hospital with few rooms with barely any equipment. On the contrary, Patan hospital is fairly well equipped and organized with a CT scanner, multiple wards, and the medical school has an extensive public health department. Meanwhile I am offered a tea and biscuit everywhere. My first few hours of touring showed me that this is going to be a fun experience. This is followed by a stop at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) where I will be on rotation for the next few weeks. Another cup of tea and biscuit follows, fourth of the day already. &#x0D; Day one starts in ICU with meeting medical officers, staff, patients and nurses. Talking to patients helps me learn their perspective. It is quick mixing up with medical officers through lunch strolls, breaks. Our lunch discussions are very interesting, sharing our knowledge and experiences about our culture and educational system. What struck me then is I read and hear so much about what visitors have to say and how extraordinarily helpful this experience has been in shaping their career.1 But I wonder what it’s like for the local officers, what’s the impact on the medical officers, residents and students. Is it helpful? Do they feel they learn something, positive or negative impact? Or is it a source of brain drain?

A Gold-Standard for Entity Resolution within Sexually Transmitted Infection Networks

Contact tracing for venereal disease control has been widespread since 1936 and relies on reported information about contacts’ attributes to determine whether two contacts may represent the same individual. We developed and implemented a gold-standard for determining overlap between contacts reported by different individuals using cell phone numbers as unique identifiers. This method was then used to evaluate the performance of using reported names and demographic characteristics to infer overlap. Cell-phone numbers, names and demographic data for a sample of high-risk men in India and their contacts were collected using a novel, hybrid instrument involving both cell-phone data extraction and Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI). Logistic regression was used to model the probability that a pair of contacts reported by different respondents were identical, based on the correspondence between their reported names and attributes. A discrete mixture model is proposed which provides predictions nearly as good as the logistic model but may be used in a new population without re-calibration. Despite achieving AUCs of 0.83–0.86, the low rate of true overlap among a very large number of contact pairs still results in a high rate of false positives. Next generation contact tracing calls for more archived or digital matching processes.
