Background:
• Informatics is keyboard/software driven rather than practice
driven
• Consequently Viewed by many as being irrelevant to practice
• Need to engage students in informatics
• No integration across curricula ‘bolted on’
• No apparent unifying theme

Penfield Virtual Hospital
Overview: Penfield
What is it?
• Computer software that:– models some of the features of an acute General Hospital
Information Systems
– identifies key principles underpinning Nursing Informatics
– enbodies some of the core principles set out in the
Information for Health strategy document

Overview: Penfield
What does the system Do?
• Allows users to:-
– explore informatics through interacting with the system: data
in context = Information; Information in context = knowledge
– add, edit and view data held in patient records
– problem solve through ‘what ifs’

Interaction with Penfield is through:
• Scenarios
Scenarios are built from:
• Scenes
Scenes are built from:
All require
Components
• Tasks
Are completed by users

Scenarios
• A scenario contains the entire range of user interactions with
Penfield over a period of five Penfield days.
• Penfield runs in its own time 'Penfield Time'. On initial log on
Penfield sets its internal clock to n time Monday of the week
initial log on occurred. Once set Penfield time elapses
sequentially as the scenario progresses.

Scenes
• Scenes determine the series and sequence of user
interactions with Penfield at a particular point in Penfield Time.
• Typically scenes will introduce, illustrate or reinforce informatic
principles.

Scenes
• From time to time users will be given information about the
scene and what informatics principles are being explored; in
addition users will be prompted to give answers to questions
relating to the scene
• These answers will accrue as evidence that the scenario has
been completed.
• Scenes are an aggregation of tasks

Tasks
• Tasks are specific user interactions with Penfield at a particular
point in Penfield Time. Users must complete the task as
instructed to continue e.g. enter a temperature reading.

Software components: Extensibility
• The User Interface
– the buttons, the menus, the pictures
• The User Interface Manager
– the brain
• The Data Manager
– the ‘gopher’
• The Relational Database
– and, of course, the database

Clock & Controller
• The scenario will be mapped onto Penfield components/control
system using the clock and controller entities

Smoke & Mirrors
• Penfield’s patients have pertinent clinical data pre-loaded. This
data is revealed as Penfield time clocks and thus gives an
impression of ongoing patient activity.
