In 2007 the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) contracted FSM to develop a media-rich online education tool to provide diabetes information to users. The ABCs of Diabetes Education (ABCDE) is divided into a number of modules, with each module containing live-action video, an extensive educational presentation, a interactive case study discussion, quizzes related to the educational content, and downloadable resources. All video was shot by FSM on-location at a local hospital with selected actors. Post production, editing, and voiceover recording was done at FSM’s studio. The content was produced in Adobe Flash format, and incorporated into a SCORM 2004 conformant web infrastructure.
American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) contracted FSM to create an online tool that can be used by diabetes educators to gather, collect, manage, and report patient data.
2003 the Department of Pediatrics at Ohio State University contracted FSM to create touchscreen-based that can be used to collect patient registration information while in the waiting room. Working with Dr. Deena Chisolm, FSM used its ScoreMD platform to create a tool that allowed novice computer users to use a touchscreen kiosk to:
All of the information was gathered each time the patient came into the office, and the resulting reports were immediately generated and printed out for use by the office staff. A paper about the system was published by Dr. Chisolm et al., with the conclusion being that FSM’s ScoreMD system was well accepted by both the patients and the staff, and showed potential for improving efficiency in clinical office settings.
In 2002 Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh (CHP) contracted FSM to create a wireless tablet touchscreen-based screening, data collection and analysis system for use in CHP office waiting rooms. The questions to be asked were based on the Bright Futures national initiative, but were highly customized for this implementation. FSM used its ScoreMD platform to create the Interactive Wellness System (IWS, later branded as EnterVue:Pediatrics) that allows children’s parents to answer a battery of questions about their child while in the waiting room. The data was collected and analyzed locally, and two reports were instantly printed. The patient report gave information to the parent gave information to the parent about their child and the doctor report gave information to the doctor that could be used when subsequently meeting with the patient.
In 2005 The InforMedx Group (a partner of Conemaugh Health System) contracted FSM to create a diabetes screening and educational system to provide services to members of the surrounding high-risk, yet underserved, community. Utilizing the ScoreMD online screening platform and the TEACH:diabetes education videos, FSM developed the Health E Control (HEC) system. HEC is a touchscreen-based kiosk system that delivers a short diabetes risk assessment (with printed results report) and also provides the user with a selection of diabetes education videos. This HEC system has a web-based architecture that allows multiple kiosks to connect via the internet to FSM’s central server that runs the ScoreMD/HEC system, allowing it to be centrally administered. In 2006 HEC was deployed with great fanfare on 13 kiosks around the Johnstown area, and to date over 6400 people have used the system.
In 2004 the Special Olympics of PA (SOPA) contracted FSM to create an online tool that can be used by SOPA administrators, coaches, volunteers, and athletes (collectively referred to as “delegates”) to manage all of the data for these groups. An initial version of the SOPA Web Based Delegate Management Software (DMS) was launched in 2004 and adopted by all of the county-based SOPA programs. The DMS allows permission-based internet management of all delegates in a SO Program. It facilitates the effective organization of thousands of delegates’ information, positions, and requirements. Since its launch, FSM has maintained and supported the DMS, while continuing to expand and improve the system to meet the evolving needs of all of the SOPA programs. Currently there are over 40,000 delegate records in the system.
Some key features of the SOPA Web Based Delegate Management Software include:
