Improving resident's skills in the management of circulatory shock with a knowledge-based e-learning tool.
Correct clinical management of circulatory shock in emergency departments (ER) and intensive care units (ICU) is critical. In this context, the transmission of professional skills by means of the practical supervision of real cases at the point of care entails important issues that can be widely overcome with the use of computer knowledge-based e-learning tools. ⋯ Web-oriented knowledge-based e-learning computer tools such as Shock-Instructor can significantly reduce the learning time of ER and ICU residents, while enhancing their assimilation of evidence-based medicine and both the survival rate and health condition of patients with shock.

To conduct a usability study exploring the value of using speech recognition (SR) for clinical documentation tasks within an electronic health record (EHR) system. ⋯ The usability of EHR systems with any input modality is an area that requires continued development. The addition of an SR component to an EHR system may cause a significant reduction in terms of perceived usability by clinicians.
