¶ … veracity and efficacy of traditional (non IT) methods of treatment in connection with diabetes. One of the most common treatments assessed was point-of-care (POCT) of blood glucose at diagnostic levels for diabetes.
Some of the researchers recommended replacement of IT instruments for better assessing diabetes level of glucose.
Although Martin et al. (2005) found POC to be efficacious ("as it is a community-friendly, practical, and accurate method for monitoring diabetes "), Rush et al. (2008) demonstrated that the true blood glucose was underestimated by POC, and that POC is therefore not recommended . Their implied recommendation, in other words, were to use the more reliable methods of technological assistance in order to more accurately and reliably guage diabetes glucose level.
Whether POC by itself is / is not reliable is still debatable but Marley et al. (2007) discovered close association between comparison of the glucose level measurements taken at a reference laboratory and taken by POC capillary. The IT results in other words resulted in high reliability and concordance of results.
Another article (Hu et a. 2010) found that simultaneous testing of HbA1c and FPG (HbA1C and/or FPG) for those who had diabetes at an early age, was better and more reliable than individual testing of either, and that this could be better done by technology than by menial...
It is no surprise therefore that the Health Informatics Society of Australia's Health Informatics Education Report manufactured various recommendations, one of which was a training program for nurses that would focus on IT skills through standardization of qualification (Soar et al., 2003).
This need was emphasized by Yu (2005) who showed that most nurses would welcome IT training as well as the need for it in the nursing environment. There are certain negative points for IT introduction. The top ones among them were inadequate skills, lack of IT support, and access to computers, while the most minor issue was privacy concerns (Yu, 2005).
The aim of these researchers, in short, was to test traditional treatments (mainly for diabetes) against its results. Many of the researchers concluded that IT provides as results that are just as efficacious and correct if not more so, and they emphasized the need for promoting expanded IT programs and training in nursing / medical health carnivores.
Findings all agree that IT can help the medical field. In terms of diabetes, many of the researchers agreed that IT results were more accurate than traditional results; two however disagreed with this statement,…
Limitations that are noted in the studies include the following:
Many of them deal with specific populations and results from one cannot be arbitrarily applied to others. The populations were most times from one single institution at one single time. This was the case with Hu et al. (2008) and with Marley et al. (2007).
On the other hand, some of the studies carried populations that were sufficiently large enough so that reliable outcome could be achieved. That of Rush et al. (2008) for instance was implemented on 5,309 participants in accordance with a reliable test - the TeWai o Rona Diabetes Prevention Strategy. Although other elements could have conceivably impacted results and some may actually not have fasted as required, that fact that they were well-matched and that the population was large may have been significant enough in providing reliable results (namely that the true blood glucose was underestimated by the POCT at diagnostic levels for diabetes. ). The largeness of the population and the thoroughness of the methodology makes this impossible to reject. The same could be said for the Soar et al. (2003) study and for You (2005). Martin et al.'s (2005) population was, however, less diverse. Their study was conducted in a remote Aboriginal Australian community. Outcome of their study led them to conclude that remote and rural clinical settings can make the most of POC capillary HbA (1c)
Experts in the field caution both job seekers and employing organisations that online social and professional networks should be incorporated as adjunctive measures on both ends and not relied upon exclusively or instead of certain aspects of traditional recruitment, hiring, and job searching. Finally, the other obvious implication of the growing use of social networking sites (in particular) for this purpose is that one must become more careful than

This report went on to describe the wide-spread used of

However, the researchers can visualize the 'holistic' strategies even involve wide scope for utilization of computing resources as the basic instruments for collection and analyzing the data. (Willis; Jost, 2000) The usage of computers has played a significant role in quantitative research; likewise they have the ability to offer considerably to qualitative research. The quantity of data that is regularly gathered is the main restriction in carrying out successful qualitative
These number from Halifax and Brunswick counties are alarming not only because of the high correlation between teen pregnancy and dropping out of school, but also because the interrelationship between educational proficiency and teenage pregnancy. For example, only "forty-one percent of teenagers who begin families before age 18 ever complete high school." (the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, 2006). Furthermore, "parenthood is a leading cause of high school drop
Com. In case of several companies, enhancing customer relationships is among the most capable features of e-commerce. However, whereas the Internet has presented the consent of a novel method to draw and communicate with the customer, hardly few enterprises have discovered a method to efficiently manage interactions with their customers on the Internet. (David, 2000) The real skill is involved in making the device suitable to accomplishment of the business strategy
