title: Developing a mobile application for recording learning experiences in nursing practice.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  In complex clinical on-the-job training a seamless and target-oriented incorporation is crucial to assure a good medical care. The reliable transmission of specific and relevant facts, besides education knowledge, is a key factor to ensure sustainable quality in care processes.
  
  
  METHODS
  We present the clinical field study WITRA care. A possible way to capture hidden clinical care knowledge with assistance of mobile devices will be described.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Basic functions to collect learning experiences with mobile devices as well as a secure and confidential manner to support a reliable transmission procedure in the hospital network area are implemented. A user experience questionnaire and a semi-standardized interview illustrate first positive acceptance evaluations and time-saving effects.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  With mobile devices, tacit knowledge gaps can be tapped in a clinical care unit. The study provided first insights and proved its feasibility in general. However, advanced problems and questions arose and will be considered in the future.
