BACKGROUND Blood glucose monitoring is an important component of diabetes self-management for individuals with insulin-treated diabetes. Although patient-maintained logbooks are routinely used, glucose values may be inaccurately recorded or not recorded at all. Electronic logbooks may help overcome such problems. We conducted a randomized, controlled trial (RCT) to compare glycemic control in i...

Sir,—While I agree with the need for a minimum dataset for anaesthetic logbooks, particularly in light of the forthcoming changes in training, I am a little perturbed by the inclusion of names and dates of birth of patients. Drs Lack, Stuart-Taylor and Tecklenburg [1] describe a minimum dataset for anaesthetic logbooks. In the data fields described, the name and the date of birth of patients ar...

BACKGROUND Competence in colonoscopy, which is a technically difficult procedure, requires adequate exposure to it and the maintenance of a detailed logbook. Without an electronic record this is difficult to achieve. By implementing an electronic medical record system we aimed to perform a detailed quality assessment audit of colonoscopy, to benchmark our results and generate accurate logbooks ...

BACKGROUND Logbooks are widely used to set learning outcomes and to structure and standardize teaching in clinical settings. Experience shows that logbooks are not always optimally employed in clinical training. In this article, we have summarized our own experiences as well as results of studies into twelve tips on how to successfully implement logbooks into clinical settings. METHODS We con...
