Chapter 7: Telehealth and Research
  1. What is a wearable home device that monitors sleep?

    • Apple Watch, blood pressure monitors, glucose meters.

  2. What is PTSD?

    • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

  3. What factors are important when considering a patient using telehealth?

    • A system where patients use devices at home to track health data and send it to healthcare providers.

  10. What functionality did the presenter use to search for things?

    • (Context needed) Likely database search tools.

  11. What do the fields/keys mean in a database?

    • They represent specific data points used for organizing and retrieving information.

  12. What is an abstract?

    • A summary of a research article.

  13. What is full text?

    • The complete article or document.

  14. Which is more beneficial: abstract or full text?

    • Full text provides more detailed information.

  15. What are some databases used to find systematic reviews?

  17. How should you search for information in a database?

    • Use keywords, Boolean operators, and filters like publication date.

  18. How recent should your article be for research purposes?

    • Within the last five years.

  19. Why would you read an abstract?

    • To get a general idea of the article before reading the full text.

  20. What is the difference between research quality and evidence-based practice?

    • Research quality refers to the credibility and validity of studies, while evidence-based practice involves applying the best available research to clinical decisions.

Chapter 8: Data Collection and Analysis
  1. What should you consider when collecting patient information?

    • Privacy and confidentiality.

    • A system that provides healthcare professionals with clinical knowledge and patient-specific information to improve decision-making.

  4. What is the difference between structured and unstructured data?

    • Structured data is organized (e.g., lab results), while unstructured data is freeform (e.g., clinical notes).

  5. What is big data?

    • Large, complex data sets that require advanced tools for analysis.

Chapter 10: Presentations and Formatting
  1. What is the difference between a poster presentation and a PowerPoint presentation?
