PDA
& PELS Support
PDA Hardware & Software
JEFFLINE's PDA Support Center includes
hardware and software recommendations for Jefferson students, faculty
and staff.
AISR Learning Resources staff are available for support of a variety
of PDA models using the Palm operating system. You can help yourself with some of our PDA
tips.
The Scott LRC also provides two workstations where students
and faculty may download PDA applications for their handhelds (normal
campus security systems may block such download on public workstations).
PELS: The Patient Encounter Log System
AISR has set up several PDA sync stations to support the Patient
Encounter Log System (PELS) developed by Jeff-IT, the JMC Dean's
Office, and the Center for Research in Medical Education and Health
Care.
The Patient Encounter Project was introduced at Jefferson Medical
College in 1994 to track students' experiences during their clinical
clerkships. The goal is to assure that each student encounters diverse
appropriately supervised patient-care activities. Beginning in their
third year, medical students use a PDA-based program to record this
information.
Data collection is managed by completing a "hot sync"
session at one of the PELS Sync Stations on campus. AISR has set
up several of these workstations at the locations listed below.
Sync cables unique to specific manufacturers are available at some
of the computing sites below. There are also InfraRed Sync Stations
that support any IR-enabled device.
