Time Until Proof of Credentials Significantly Decreases With the Use of Blockchain Technology and the Document Management System.

Background and objective Physician credentialing and verification in the medical education setting are challenging for the modern workforce. The credentials verification process may be time-consuming and challenging for participants. Blockchain technology is a potential resource for authenticating records with reduced administrative burden and time spent. This study investigates whether the use of blockchain technology reduces the time until verification of a participant's credentials. Methods An anonymous letter designation was assigned to 23 medical students. All students enrolled in, and completed, a course designed and run by the Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine at Auburn (VCOM) as part of the routine medical education curriculum. At the completion of the training, a credentials certificate was produced, which showed course completion. The anonymous letter designation was utilized in the creation of the certificates. The letter designations were shared with an anonymous investigator. No student names were shared with the investigator. The investigator posed as an employing/credentialing entity and contacted VCOM to record the time required to verify the credentials certificate indicating course completion. The elapsed time until credentials verification was completed for each student in the current system (CS) was recorded. Subsequently, the credentials certificate was minted as a blockchain-based, non-fungible token (NFT) and uploaded to a document software management system. An investigator again posed as an employing/credentialing entity and utilized this system to verify the credentials of the 23 students in the study using the NFT system. The times elapsed until verification of credentials were recorded as the NFT pathway. Data from the NFT pathway and non-NFT pathway were compiled and reviewed. Results Data were normally distributed per the Andersen-Darling Test. A t-test (Welch's method) was performed. The mean time of 111,214 seconds (30.89 hours or 1.29 days) in the CS varied significantly from the mean time of 14 seconds in the NFT blockchain system (p<0.01). The standard deviation of 56,568 seconds in CS varied significantly from 9.9178 seconds in the NFT blockchain (p<0.01).  Conclusions The NFT/blockchain system reduces the mean time until the credential verification is completed and reduces the variance seen in time until credentialing is completed. The NFT/blockchain system may significantly bring down the administrative burden and time spent in the credentialing process.

A network-based positive and unlabeled learning approach for fake news detection.

Fake news can rapidly spread through internet users and can deceive a large audience. Due to those characteristics, they can have a direct impact on political and economic events. Machine Learning approaches have been used to assist fake news identification. However, since the spectrum of real news is broad, hard to characterize, and expensive to label data due to the high update frequency, One-Class Learning (OCL) and Positive and Unlabeled Learning (PUL) emerge as an interesting approach for content-based fake news detection using a smaller set of labeled data than traditional machine learning techniques. In particular, network-based approaches are adequate for fake news detection since they allow incorporating information from different aspects of a publication to the problem modeling. In this paper, we propose a network-based approach based on Positive and Unlabeled Learning by Label Propagation (PU-LP), a one-class and transductive semi-supervised learning algorithm that performs classification by first identifying potential interest and non-interest documents into unlabeled data and then propagating labels to classify the remaining unlabeled documents. A label propagation approach is then employed to classify the remaining unlabeled documents. We assessed the performance of our proposal considering homogeneous (only documents) and heterogeneous (documents and terms) networks. Our comparative analysis considered four OCL algorithms extensively employed in One-Class text classification (k-Means, k-Nearest Neighbors Density-based, One-Class Support Vector Machine, and Dense Autoencoder), and another traditional PUL algorithm (Rocchio Support Vector Machine). The algorithms were evaluated in three news collections, considering balanced and extremely unbalanced scenarios. We used Bag-of-Words and Doc2Vec models to transform news into structured data. Results indicated that PU-LP approaches are more stable and achieve better results than other PUL and OCL approaches in most scenarios, performing similarly to semi-supervised binary algorithms. Also, the inclusion of terms in the news network activate better results, especially when news are distributed in the feature space considering veracity and subject. News representation using the Doc2Vec achieved better results than the Bag-of-Words model for both algorithms based on vector-space model and document similarity network.

[The evaluation of efficiency of the program "The automated working place of the senior medical nurse"].

The qualitative functioning of any medical institution depends on both professional competence of its staff and document management. The contemporary society is moving towards e-document management. The topicality of investigation stems from necessity to give scientific rationale and put into practice modern information systems and electronic technologies in the activities of head nurses. The article considers realization issues of the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of May 7, 2018 No. 204 "On national goals and strategic objectives of the development of the Russian Federation for the period until 2024". Among other "national development goals of the Russian Federation for the period until 2024, the Decree sets the goal to ensure the accelerated digital enabling in the economy and social sphere". Therefore, it is no coincidence that the Federal project "Creating a single digital circuit in health care based on unified state health information system" takes central position in the National Health Care Project. The study used content analysis, expert judgment, sociological and statistical methods. The introduction of the AWP SMS program into professional activities of senior medical nurses allows optimizing documents processing. Its effectiveness was evaluated using mathematical modeling methodology.

Fast-Track to Research Data Management in Experimental Material Science-Setting the Ground for Research Group Level Materials Digitalization.

Research data management is a major necessity for the digital transformation in material science. Material science is multifaceted and experimental data, especially, is highly diverse. We demonstrate an adjustable approach to a group level data management based on a customizable document management software. Our solution is to continuously transform data management workflows from generalized to specialized data management. We start up fast with a relatively unregulated base setting and adapt continuously over the period of use to transform more and more data procedures into specialized data management workflows. By continuous adaptation and integration of analysis workflows and metadata schemes, the amount and the quality of the data improves. As an example of this process, in a period of 36 months, data on over 1800 samples, mainly materials libraries with hundreds of individual samples, were collected. The research data management system now contains over 1700 deposition processes and more than 4000 characterization documents. From initially mainly user-defined data input, an increased number of specialized data processing workflows was developed allowing the collection of more specialized, quality-assured data sets.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of implementing a quality management system (QMS) in the performance of a clinical laboratory of Hospital Materno Provincial. Ten quality indexes (QI) have been designed; they were measured before and after the implementation of the document management system (DMS). For the "incorrect medical application" index, there was a reduction from 11.2% to 6% when the DMS was implemented. For the "diagnostic omission" index, the percentage decreased from 41.6% to 27.9% after the implementation. Five per cent of mistakes were found in the admission of the laboratory computer system in the baseline state and 3.9% of the mistakes were found after implementation of the system. Meanwhile, the "incorrect sent samples" index decreased from 3.1% to 1.9%. Fifty eight per cent of the analytes decreased the total error index and 80% of them increased the sigma value after the intervention. Sixty one per cent of the analytes decreased the uncertainty value, thus improving the performance of analytical methods. The percentage of critical values communicated to the physician before the 60 minutes increased from 20% to 54% after the implementation of the DMS, while the "reprint of reports" index decreased from 5.2% to 1.8%. The turn around time (TAT) decreased from 164 to 125 minutes. The implementation of a QMS, under the requirements of international standards, improved the knowledge and the functioning of different processes of the clinical laboratory. This has been evidenced by the decrease of mistakes in the pre-analytical, analytical and post-analytical phases.

Too many tags spoil the metadata: investigating the knowledge management of scientific research with semantic web technologies.

Scientific research is increasingly characterised by the volume of documents and data that it produces, from experimental plans and raw data to reports and papers. Researchers frequently struggle to manage and curate these materials, both individually and collectively. Previous studies of Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs) in academia and industry have identified semantic web technologies as a means for organising scientific documents to improve current workflows and knowledge management practices. In this paper, we present a qualitative, user-centred study of researcher requirements and practices, based on a series of discipline-specific focus groups. We developed a prototype semantic ELN to serve as a discussion aid for these focus groups, and to help us explore the technical readiness of a range of semantic web technologies. While these technologies showed potential, existing tools for semantic annotation were not well-received by our focus groups, and need to be refined before they can be used to enhance current researcher practices. In addition, the seemingly simple notion of "tagging and searching" documents appears anything but; the researchers in our focus groups had extremely personal requirements for how they organise their work, so the successful incorporation of semantic web technologies into their practices must permit a significant degree of customisation and personalisation.

[Document management systems to support quality management systems at university hospitals - an interview-based study]. / Dokumenten-Management-Systeme zur Unterstützung des Qualitätsmanagements an Universitätskliniken ­ Eine interviewbasierte Studie.

In order to save and control the processes and quality of medical services, a suitable steering system of all relevant documents is essential from the point of view of clinical quality management. Systems supporting an automated steering system of documents are called document management systems (DMS), and they also enter the healthcare sector. The use of DMS in the German healthcare sector has hardly been investigated so far. To close this knowledge gap, interviews were carried out with German university hospitals over a six-month period and subjected to a qualitative content analysis according to Mayring. In total, 25 university hospitals agreed to participate in this study, 19 of which have been working with a digital DMS for about six years on average. There was a great variety among the IT systems used. Document management and usability of the DMS as well as its integration into existing IT structures were key decision-making criteria for the selection of a digital DMS. In general, the long-term usability of the DMS is supported by regular evaluation of one's own requirements for the system, administration and training programs. In addition, DMS have a positive effect on patient safety and the quality of medical care.

Development of a document management system for the standardization of clinical laboratory documents.

BACKGROUND: Documentation is very important; a considerable number of documents exist for use in accreditation inspection. However, most laboratories do not effectively manage the processes of documentation, organization, and storage. The purpose of this study was to facilitate the establishment of a strategically effective and sustainably standardized document management system. METHODS: A document code formatting system was modified by comparing the document list data received from 3 major university hospitals. In addition, a questionnaire regarding document code standardization was created and sent to 268 institutes to establish document classifications and generate a standard coding scheme. A computerized document management system was developed. RESULTS: Only 32% (8 out of 25 institutes) answered that they were able to identify all of the document types and their numbers. In total, 76% of institutes (19 out of 25) answered that a systematic document management system was necessary. Disorganized document files were systemized by classifying them into 8 major groups according to their characteristics: patient test records (T), test quality control (Q), manuals (M), equipment and environment management (E), statistics (S), division administration (A), department administration (R), and others (X). CONCLUSIONS: Our documentation system may serve as a basis for the standardization of documents and the creation of a document management system for all hospital laboratories.

[Recommendations for the control of documents and the establishment of a documentary system]. / Recommandations pour la maîtrise des documents et la constitution d'un système documentaire.

The quality management system that must be implemented in a MBL to meet the requirements of the standard NF EN ISO 15189 is based, among other things, on the creation and use by staff of a documentary system approved and updated. This documentary system is constituted by external documents (standards, suppliers' documents...) and internal documents (quality manual, procedures, instructions, technical and quality recordings...). A procedure of the documentary system control must be formalized. The documentary system should be modeled in order to identify the various procedures to be drafted and the incurred risks in the case a document would be missing in this system. Each document must be indexed in a unique way and document management must be carried out rigorously. The use of document management software is a great help to manage the life cycle of documents.
