title: Demonstration: An online clinical log for nurse practitioner students.
abstract: The Vanderbilt University School of Nursing (VUSN) has advanced practice nursing students in clinical experiences across the USA who are required to provide written documentation on their encounters. Prior log activities had consisted of responses on optical scan sheets and descriptive logs submitted at the end of each semester. Faculty wanted a more contemporary and efficient environment that would allow students to collect their clinical log data at their point of care and enter into an online database. The solution by VUSN informatics staff was a web/PDA based clinical log that can be used during the course of the semester.
