Audience Response (audience + response)
Selected AbstractsShared Care in Geriatric Oncology: Primary Care Providers' and Medical/Oncologist's PerspectivesJOURNAL OF AMERICAN GERIATRICS SOCIETY, Issue 2009Cynthia Owusu MD Existing literature lends support to the benefit of shared care in the management of chronic diseases, but there are limited data on the feasibility, cost-effectiveness, or benefits of shared care in oncology. A recent conference organized by the Aging and Cancer Program of the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center sought to explore the perceptions of physicians and other allied health professionals who attended the conference about shared care in the acute management of older patients with cancer using a case history presentation and an anonymous audience response system. Analyses of the audience response indicated that shared responsibility and enhanced information exchange in addition to the current level of communication between providers involved in the acute management of older patients with cancer is desirable. Studies exploring the feasibility and benefits of a shared care model in the management of older patients with cancer are needed. [source] Short communication: The use of a perinatal internet consultation forum in Israel,BJOG : AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF OBSTETRICS & GYNAECOLOGY, Issue 1 2007D Mankuta To analyse the use of a free, public, perinatal internet consultation service, 2000 consultations provided by university hospital staff were evaluated over 30 months. Ninety five percent of the questioners were women, and 62% of them were primiparous. The average response rate was 2.3 audience responses per question. Fifty-two percent of the consultations were related to labour and delivery, 23% were related to pregnancy complications, 16% were related to prenatal diagnosis, and 7% were related to the puerperium period. We conclude that medical consultation forums provide an additional way of delivering inexpensive, accessible, fast, and convenient healthcare services.

This audience response system consists of individual remote response keypads, a USB port-compatible receiver, and software which integrates into PowerPoint. Board-style questions are written into PowerPoint slides and presented by the speaker. Rather than selecting one resident to answer a question, all audience members select an answer using their keypad. The receiver registers the answers and immediately displays a graph of the audience's responses. Questions with more incorrect answers are discussed in detail while less time is spent on questions answered correctly by most of the audience. This encourages active participation for each question and eliminates the stress of a single resident giving an incorrect answer in front of a large number of peers. Audience members are engaged throughout the hour rather than concentrating only on questions assigned to them. Residents and students discover that challenging questions are answered incorrectly by a significant number of audience members. In a short time using this system, we've seen audience discussion increase dramatically. We plan to expand our use of this technology to other lectures. Speakers will administer end-of-lecture quizzes, immediately assessing how effectively their presentation achieved its learning objectives. All residents have an assigned keypad, and their percentage of correct answers is recorded during every session. This allows the program to monitor a resident's progress and to identify areas in which the resident may need more instruction. This system has potential applications for competency assessment. [source] PERFORMING THE OTHER: YOKO ONO'S CUT PIECEART HISTORY, Issue 1 2005Jieun Rhee Staged five times by Yoko Ono between 1964 and 1966, Cut Piece has been interpreted in a variety of ways, including an exploration of sadism/masochism and violence/victimization. It has also been discussed in terms of feminist discourses on the female body and the male gaze. By contrast, this famous event has rarely been examined in terms of audiences' responses to Ono's performances and in particular the relationship between such responses and the social, cultural, national and ethnic contexts. From sacred prostitution cults of Kumano bikuni to the sexual component of the Western avant garde, this essay examines the emblematic roles that Ono's Cut Piece played during the crucial years of performance art.
