The iDoc Project
The All-Wales Foundation Programme iDoc Project is a really exciting new initiative from the Wales Deanery which is about providing the Foundation Programme (F1) doctors with a HTC smartphone device giving superb communication opportunities and a Dr Companion application that contains 17 medical textbooks, enabling access to accurate medical information such as the BNF, Netter’s Atlas of Human Anatomy and the Oxford Handbook of the Foundation Year. All of these books can be rapidly searched using an electronic search tool that is integrated with the MedHand application on the SD card. Training will be provided via website links through the Deanery.
The Wales Deanery requires all Foundation Trainees to actively take part in this study and they will be expected to use the device for information gathering in order to improve patient care. Over the course of the next 18 months, they will be expected to provide formal feedback in the form of a number of completed questionnaires at the beginning, middle and end of the study. This will enable us to demonstrate the usefulness of this device and to guide further improvement in both information delivery and just-in-time learning.
