View source for Wiki Adoption Survey May 2008

Below is a summary of what people said in the survey I had asked you to fill out, followed by the full responses and finally a discussion section. Please feel free to edit any session other than the full responses, as they are direct quotes. Do feel free to discuss them, though. 

== Summary ==

16 people responded to the survey. This number was probably brought down by a glitch that initially disabled a second survey to be entered from a single PC. 

Most people have looked at the wiki by now, but only two have either edited or created an article. 

Some people appear to be looking for a clean and concise top-down communication tool; questions would be posted with answers when answers have been determined. More people seem to be hoping for a place where questions are asked, discussed and answered. 
Topics wanted were coding and technology. 

There seemed to be a general uncertainty of how the wiki is or should be used, and how one should monitor change on the wiki. One discrepancy in in review frequency, with some people thinking it should be reviewed several times a day, and some once a week.

There was some concern about breaking things if an edit were attempted.

Time and lack of familiarity or training as major obstacle in using the wiki. Several people would like an inservice.

=== What is one most important thing you would like to see on the CCMDB wiki? ===
(sic as submitted) 
* unsure
* answers to any questions other data collectors have and the thread of the conversations. You can tell if it applies to you by the examples they give and the situations they describe.	 
* diagnositic cording questions	 
* clear easy to read and understanding the terms used	 
* updates & clarifications	 
* PDA info, questions other people have and the answers. Basically what it is set up for now.	 
* I would like to see each code posted so that data collectors could get some tips on how to code properly.For example septic shock has specific criteria that is often overlooked when coding.The ultimate goal city wide should be consistency in coding.	 
* Directions step by step to solve PDA problems	 
* clear guidelines for collection, continued updating of new ideas and information, platform for questions and answers.	 
* If webmail is for STAT info then Wiki is for discussion and sharing education items.
* Any changes to the collection process
* share information in regards to coding ie)infections & bugs ie)how you code a situation
* communication

=== What is one most important way you would like to see the wiki used to improve communication? ===
(sic as submitted) 
* unsure 
* that it should become routine to check it every time you arrive at work to see if there is anything new. or even several times per day in case things change.
* just need to incorporatedit in our practice
* Letting all kknow that communications will be going throug the wiki (we found by acccident that Trish had left a communication about her vacation here)
* If somewone has aquery they should start a discusion	
* Have not used it enough to maybe answer this question. I still rely on e-mails but I am missing other collectors input when just using e-mails. Mainly from you and Trish	
* Data collectors would go the site to find current information on each work day.	
* If other team members have questions re:coding diagnosises and have clarified with Trish to let us know so we dont repeatthe process.
* back and forth interaction of ideas	
* Consistency and uniformity in our data collection	
* Easier to figure out how to use it.
* updates on new stuff	
* collection changes	


=== What is one most important obstacle (if any) that prevents you from using the wiki? ===
(sic as submitted) 
* getting used to format and time as still using the email etc.
* just that I forget to check it.
* none
* Out of my comfort zone. Can I just go ahead and see what I can do or will I mess it up for the next person who tries to w=use it.	
* it is very "busy" lots of hunting for information, that will probably get better the more I use it	
* I don't know how to use it yet. I would like a handson inservice on it.
* time to use it in a busy work day.	
* Inconvienient to check routinely. Difficult to know if there is anything new that needs to be seen.	
* none,except for time. I will only be checking it once a week. I am watching articles and recieve e-mail.
* lack if inservice afraid of making mistakes on it and unable to erase errors not comfortable with it we need time to use it
* time constraints	
* Time is number one, I do not find it simple to use and I become frustrated	
* I have been to busy. collecting all ICUs at HSC. Do not really understand how to use it. I find it confusing. Lois
* time constraints...I haven't had any time to look at this at all yet.	 
* time	
* difficulty navigating


{{discussion}}
== Discussion ==

* people are hoping to see discussions on the wiki, but would they like to ''participate'' in discussions? There are <30 of us, so a substantial percentage would have to participate if there were to be a discussion [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 14:38, 16 May 2008 (CDT)

* are people looking for an inservice even to view the wiki, or only to contribute? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 14:38, 16 May 2008 (CDT)

* what specifically should be included in an inservice? (some places have already had an informal inservice, maybe you can say what you did or did not find helpful) [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 14:38, 16 May 2008 (CDT)

* when people state they don't have the time, is it a question of finding the wiki not worth the time? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 14:38, 16 May 2008 (CDT)

* would you find it helpful if you received an automated email about every change on the wiki? This would include someone just fixing a typo, or multiple saves in the same edit so there could be a lot or emails. I am reasonably sure I could get everyone set up to "watch" every article, but it would create a lot of email trafic... [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 14:38, 16 May 2008 (CDT)

* If we want to use the wiki to discuss things, we could use some agreed-upon protocol. Do you think having a "discussion" header at the end of each article would be a workable way to discuss articles? If you have a question about a topic where the article does not exist yet, you could email me and I would put a framework for discussion into place. This issue should fade as more content is added to the wiki. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 14:38, 16 May 2008 (CDT)
