Development of documentation system using cloud computing for clinical clerkship
Keywords:

OBJECTIVE
To develop a documentation system for clinical clerkship using cloud computing.
METHODS
This study was conducted using the design thinking process. There were five steps in this process; analyze the needs, define the problems, generating ideas, implement the prototypes, and test the complete system. The impacts of the developed documentation system on the needs in clinical clerkship were evaluated at the initial phase (in 2014) and the maintenance phase (in 2019).
RESULTS
The documentation system was developed using cloud computing comprising three components; online documents, real-time collaborated feedback systems, and remote repository. After implementation, the majority of sixth-year pharmacy students perceived the benefits of the cloud documentation system on cost-saving of paper, feasibility, and experiential learning in clerkship rotations. All students relied on the cloud documentation system and recommended this system to others.
CONCLUSION
With the design thinking process approach and using cloud computing services, the developed documentation system can benefit cost-saving, and foster efficient information clerkship management during clerkship based on ubiquitous and enlighten experiential learning. To scale up this system, technology acceptance should be evaluated.
