A Framework for Strategic Cloud Migration
Get PDFThis paper presents a novel framework for organisations to carry out a structured feasibility study on Cloud migration and to decide Cloud Migration Strategy. Following the framework helps an organisation to decide whether Cloud migration is a feasible option for them, and if so, the best strategic approach towards Cloud migration. It is a crucial and sensitive part for any organisation to decide whether they should move to Cloud Computing platform. The decision requires strategic approach
with proper feasibility study. Several technological, human,
security and financial factors are involved in decision making
process to move to the Cloud. The proposed framework helps an
organisation to carry out a feasibility study to decide whether to
move to the Cloud, and if so, what would be the best approach
towards Cloud migration. The proposed framework addresses the
factors that an organisation must explore to decide on Cloud
migration. Cloud Computing has its own pros and cons. A
whimsical decision to move to the Cloud may be disastrous for an
organisation. Following the proposed framework will help
organisations to carry out a structured and integrated feasibility
study deal with the decision on Cloud migration

Relationships and implications for complementary and alternative medicine in Aotearoa New Zealand: A discussion paper
Get PDFThe purpose of this paper is to initiate a discussion on
contextualising the relationship between the nursing
profession and complementary and alternative medicine
(CAM) within Aotearoa New Zealand. There is limited
research and data linking complementary and alternative
medicine to nursing or how this could be integrated
into health care delivery. The authors’ intentions are to
raise awareness of a trend within health and wellness
that could have implications for the nursing profession
in Aotearoa New Zealand. Existing knowledge from
overseas research is discussed to raise awareness on
complementary and alternative medicine knowledge and
any perceptions or educational needs nurses may require
when considering the utilisation of complementary
and alternative medicine. A range of questions are
presented aimed at highlighting areas of development
and future research for nursing in Aotearoa New Zealand
if complementary and alternative medicine therapies
or theory are applied within mainstream health care
settings.

Transforming health science education through blended learning and a flipped-classroom approach
From 2017, our approach to teaching health science to students in semester two of a Bachelor of Nursing degree was transformed using Lt – an online learning platform. Lt allowed us to author lessons where content was frequently broken up by questions and activities. These activities asked students to discuss, test, apply and reflect on their understanding. Prior to this, teaching was traditional, involving a weekly lecture, a laboratory class, and homework. In 2018, most theory, laboratory, and lectorial content was presented in Lt. Students were instructed to study lessons in Lt, before participating in a laboratory class, followed by a lectorial (an interactive tutorial). Student feedback to the change in module structure was polarised but more positive than negative. The six cohorts from 2016-2018, had 100 – 150 students each. Student understanding was assessed using 45 and 60 question multiple-choice tests and a short answer test. The format and content of these tests were similar across all cohorts. Our changed teaching approach had the greatest impact on short answer test marks. In this assessment, the pass rate increased from 49% to 79% and the mean short answer mark increased from 50% to 61%. The overall module pass rate increased steadily from 75% to 86% over six consecutive semesters. The mean module mark also increased from 54% to 63%. This presentation discusses the contribution of our transformed approach to teaching to these improved assessment outcomes
Positive impact of flipping and blending year one health science of nursing degree
No full textBefore 2017, first-year health sciences at Wintec (Waikato Institute of Technology) in Hamilton, New Zealand, was taught traditionally with a weekly lecture, followed by a lab class and homework. That changed in 2017 when the teaching team transformed the mode of delivery to include blended learning and a flipped-classroom approach. This talk will focus on the impact of these changes in five cohorts of semester two nursing students. In particular the modes of delivery before and after these changes, the choices students made in response to these changes, and a summary of student feedback trends that reveal how this change positively impacted the academic achievement results
Improving patient experience and outcomes following serious injury
Get PDFThis study highlights perceived issues in the patient care pathway in the transition from inpatient to community-based care, especially communication and discharge information delivered by surgical clinical teams. Comprehensive inpatient care and clinical handover to primary care (rather than discharge planning processes) by dedicated clinical trauma services may provide more holistic models for surgical services to improve their influence on the transition of trauma patients into the community, assisted by organisation changes and support to enable effective service delivery. This is the first qualitative study to investigate the experience of Waikato Hospital (non-major) trauma patients and their families/whanau as they transition from inpatient surgical services to community-based care. The findings will inform system changes to support improved health, vocational and social outcomes for injured patients

Ahakoa he iti he pounamu

Premiered by NZ Trio and Horomona Horo for Matariki 2019.
Ahakoa he iti he pounamu - Although it is small, it is greenstone
This whakataukī refers to the gift of something small, but precious. Something given from the heart.
This little piece is exploring the relationship between the western musical traditions and the world of taonga puoro. This combination of sound worlds is a gift to me, and it is a space where it is an honour and privilege to create work that contributes to this growing legacy. Particularly in collaboration with Horomona. In this piece, the trio echoes some of the sounds of the taonga puoro - mainly that of the tumutumu and the pukaea. The title is also a reference to the use of the pahu pounamu - a treasure with a beautiful sound that rings twice throughout the piece
