New Innovations 1.7.783

The New Innovations mobile app is a valuable tool for graduate medical education (GME) residents and fellows, as well as undergraduate medical education (UME) students in today's clinical learning environment. The app provides a range of features designed to enhance the educational experience and streamline key tasks.

GME users can take advantage of features such as Work Hours, Procedure Privileges, Procedure Logging, Evaluations, and a QR code scanner for conference attendance tracking. With the ability to access these features from anywhere, trainees are no longer tethered to a desk or workstation.

UME users also have access to Evaluations and the QR code scanner, with more features to come in the future. This allows undergraduate medical students to efficiently manage their evaluations and track their attendance at conferences or events.

It's important to note that most features of New Innovations are accessible and compatible with current mobile web browsers. This ensures that users can easily utilize the app's functionalities from their preferred mobile devices.

One standout aspect of the app is its secure, persistent login system. Users only need to sign in once and then again after 30 days of inactivity. This provides convenience while maintaining a high level of security. However, it's essential for all users to have a valid New Innovations login in order to access the app's features.

For GME users, the Work Hours feature allows for easy approval or editing of logged hours. Additionally, trainees can view scheduled hours for up to two days in advance, make updates to their previous 13 days' hours, and indicate "did not work" if they missed any scheduled hours. The feature also provides important details regarding violations that are not in compliance with ACGME rules.

The Procedure Privileges feature enables GME users to monitor their progress towards procedure targets within their home department. They can also view privileges achieved and completed in other departments. Users can conveniently check procedures alphabetically and verify the level of supervision required to conduct a procedure.

GME users can also utilize the Procedure Logger feature to log their procedures accurately. They can select the appropriate procedure, provide necessary information, and submit it to an observer for approval. The feature also includes a list of logged procedures, along with their confirmation statuses.

Evaluations are available for residents, fellows, and faculty members. Users can complete evaluations and request on-demand evaluations, enhancing the assessment and feedback process.

Direct Observation Assessments are another valuable feature of the app. GME users can conduct on-the-spot assessments based on published EPAs (Entrustable Professional Activities). This eliminates the need for supervisor login and allows for efficient assessment completion. Supervisors can then receive a summary or a request to complete the assessment.

The app also includes a QR Code Scanner, accessible within the app itself. This feature can be used to scan QR codes for conference attendance tracking, streamlining the process and making it more convenient for users.

For UME users, the app offers Evaluations for students and faculty members, making it easy to complete and request evaluations as needed. The QR Code Scanner feature is also available for UME users, allowing them to easily scan QR codes for conference attendance tracking purposes.
