The TiVo user interface (UI) is continuously enhanced for design. To monitor and improve UI performance, statistical tests are run on multiple test cases across various dimensions, and weekly reports are generated. The reports require the flexibility of Excel, the analysis power of JMP® and SAS®, and the reporting convenience of PowerPoint. This can be accomplished by integrating JMP, SAS® ODS,...

This study examined the effect of simulation on nursing students' knowledge of advanced cardiac life support (ACLS), knowledge retention, and confidence in applying ACLS skills. An experimental, randomized controlled (pretest-posttest) design was used. The experimental group (n = 40) attended an ACLS simulation scenario, a 4-hour PowerPoint presentation, and demonstration on a static manikin, w...
