Gemensam skrivyta och journal på distans- ett IT projekt inom hemvård och hemsjukvård

• Electronic journals are slowly implemented in home health care. Shared whiteboard is an electronic area where the users, by an advanced mobile phone or a lap top, had access a secure database where they can share information. The purpose of this study was to evaluate mobile access to shared whiteboard and electronic journals in two home care and home health care districts in the Göteborg, Sweden. The purpose was also to illuminate the professional caregivers’ competence and opinions towards computers. The study was partly evaluated by a questionnaire and partly by analysis of log files from the computer traffic. The findings showed that the users were very positive to the whiteboard although some of the users never logged in. The whiteboard facilitated the communication between the colleagues. The nurses did not need to drive by car to the office, as often as previously. The mobile phone was easy to use but many of the respondents considered that the connection to Internet was too slow. Mobile access to shared whiteboard and electronic journals can improve the collaboration between professional caregivers in home care and home health care. A shared whiteboard can make nurses better prepared when that will meet their patients or clients. KEY WORDS: nursing, home care, home health care, information technology, shared whiteboard
