A self-learning nurse call system
The complexity of continuous care settings has increased due to an ageing population, a dwindling number of caregivers and increasing costs. Electronic healthcare (eHealth) solutions are often introduced to deal with these issues. This technological equipment further increases the complexity of healthcare as the caregivers are responsible for integrating and configuring these solutions to their...
متن کاملA CALL System for Learning Preposition Usage
Fill-in-the-blank items are commonly featured in computer-assisted language learning (CALL) systems. An item displays a sentence with a blank, and often proposes a number of choices for filling it. These choices should include one correct answer and several plausible distractors. We describe a system that, given an English corpus, automatically generates distractors to produce items for preposi...
متن کاملWhen Can We Call a System Self-Organizing?
We do not attempt to provide yet another definition of selforganization, but explore the conditions under which we can model a system as self-organizing. These involve the dynamics of entropy, and the purpose, aspects, and description level chosen by an observer. We show how, changing the level or “graining” of description, the same system can appear selforganizing or self-disorganizing. We dis...
متن کاملSupervised learning of response grammars in a spoken call system
We summarise experiments carried out using a system-initiative spoken CALL system, in which permitted responses to prompts are defined using a minimal formalism based on templates and regular expressions, and describe a simple structural learning algorithm that uses annotated data to update response definitions. Using 1 927 utterances of training data, we obtained a relative improvement of 20% ...
متن کاملPositive deviance: using a nurse call system to evaluate hand hygiene practices.
BACKGROUND Many approaches have been taken to increase compliance with hand hygiene by health care professionals. We evaluated a nurse call system used as a tool in a positive deviance (PD) approach to improving compliance. METHODS We conducted a quasi-experimental study between September 2008 and December 2010 in 2 step-down units (SDUs). The consumption of alcohol-based sanitizers for hand ...
