Introduction: Portal assessment is one of major issues in developing services to users. This article is going to suggest a checklist in order to evaluate hospital portals.Methods: In this study library research method is used to study literature and evaluation checklists. In fact specialist viewpoints are used to get reliability of the assessment tool. Afterwards AHP method is used to valuation criteria and components.Results: In this study 14 criteria and 77 components were identified and proposed. The criteria and their score were gained as follow: contact information (with 5 score); features of portal pages (with 5 score); pages design (with 4 score); updating pages (with 5 score); Information, access roads (with 5 score); Public services (with 20 score); Services to Patients (with 3 score); Patient data (with 7 score); Research and education (with 3 score); Public relationship (with 7 score); Technical features of screens (with 4 score); Telemedicine (with 15 score); Pharmaceutical Services (with 3 score); Financial Services (with 15 score).Conclusion: According to finding a checklist for assessment of hospital portals is suggested.

From earliest times Man had to learn which plants would feed him, which were pleasant -flavored, which were poisonous, which would alleviate pain or other symptoms of illness, which could be used as efficient fuel, which would provide pigments for coloring and dyeing, and which were the magic plants that could transport him from reality. It was a long trial - and - error process, as a result of which hundreds of plants were selected in various parts of the world for their specific value to Man. Medicinal plants greatly, outnumbered those grown or used as food, and the medicine man and witch - doctor were skilled botanists who had an important role and status in society. They can be considered as the first professional botanists.As civilizations developed, more and more plants became known, and information about their properties and uses spread from society to society.The number of plant species used by Man run into the thousands. Not only do they include the major and minor food crops, the timber species, the herbs and spices, the medicinal and drug plants and hallucinogens, the beverage plants, but those that provide us with fibers, cork, tannins, dyes, resins, starches, oils, waxes, and countless other products used in our daily lives. And then there are the thousands of species of trees, shrubs and herbs grown in parks and gardens and in streets for ornament, decoration, display and pleasure, and the very important group of plants grown as animal foder.This checklist has designed as a guide for more than 1500 useful plants, arranged alphabetically under the scientific nam and property and use by number in the parenthesis.

Background and Objectives: These days, due to increasing of old people’ s population, elderly is a world widely issue. According to World Health Organization (WHO) people older than 60 years old are called elderly. Becoming old leads to decline in physical ability and increase in physical limitations and therefore there is a need for matching the environment with elderly users. The aim of this study is to develop and valid of check lists for screening the environment risk factor and assessing of elderly functional ability for environment and tools designing. Methods: Present study is an analytical and descriptive study, which was performed in 20 houses for old people in Lar city. Data collection was done on existing articles and checklists, and also interview and observation with elderly. Existing checklist was evaluated in validity and reliability with high acceptable level. Results: Based on findings of this study, height of mirror of wash-stand, height of wash-stand, dimension of yard and doorway was considered in ergonomics risk factors checklist. Items like opening door personally was involved in Functional Ability checklist. Validity score was lower than 0. 78. Conclusion: According to findings, it’ s necessary to consider elderly limitations and ability in designing environment and tools in order to resolve their problems and increase their quality of life.

Introduction: Standardized tests in speech therapy mostly focus on language structure rather than the use of language in social context. So, there is a clear need for instruments that assess pragmatic aspects of language. Children are Communication Checklist (CCC) and its revised version, CCC-2, were developed to address this need, however, its psychometric features are unknown in Iran. The current study aimed to adapt the CCC-2 for 7-9 year old Persian speaking children by testing its content validity and two types of reliability, internal consistency and test-retest.Materials and methods: This study is a non-experimental validation study. In the process of determining content validity, back translation was performed by three experts in fields of linguistic and speech, language therapy (SLT). Also, 28 parents of seven to nine years old children with normal language development involved to judge about the simplicity and comprehensibility of the items. The translated form, then, was sent to 10 linguists and SLTs to judge about its content and finally content validity index (CVI) were computed for each item. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were determined by asking the parents of 100 children between seven and nine years old to complete the form.Results: All items but four were found with a CVI higher than .85. After revision, the CVI scores of the remaining four items were improved. Content validity index was found higher than .75. Internal consistency for each of the items were found between .66 and .74. Test-retest reliability was established higher than .90within two weeks interval.Conclusion: Results suggested that the Persian adaptation of CCC-2 possesses an acceptable content validity and reliability for 7 to 9 year-olds. Its psychometric values, however, need to be improved by conducting further studies on larger sample sizes and across other ranges of age.

Background: Use of checklist in evaluation of trauma patients has been a critical component of improving the care process and reducing medical errors and increasing patient's quality of life. We aim to assess the impact of the modified World Health Organization Trauma Care Checklist (WHO TCC) on the management of pain, complications, mortality and patient satisfaction in trauma patients. Methods: This was a randomized control trial (RTC). Trauma patients referred to the trauma center and met the eligibility criteria were randomly assigned into three study groups. Group 1 were patients who received trauma care without using the WHO checklist, and only by the standard of care. Group 2 were patients who received trauma care according to the WHO's checklist, and group 3 were patients received trauma care according to the WHO's modified checklist. We used independent t-test and chi-square tests to assess the association between the study variables with checklist groups. The significance level of tests was set for p-value less than 0. 05. Results: We observed patients’ level of pain, Injury Severity Score (ISS), Glasgow Coma Criterion (GCS) and patient satisfaction significantly improved across the checklist groups, but more so in the modified checklist group (P less than 0. 001). Similarly, findings reveal significant relationships between all clinical characteristics of the patients and checklist groups, except for a CT Scan of the spinal cord. We were unable to establish any significant associations between the checklist groups and the majority of the selected trauma care process measures, except for missed injury (p = 0. 001). Conclusions: Both the WHO TCC and the WHO modified checklist, in the initial assessment and during the treatment and care processes, enhance patients’ clinical outcomes. However, patients in the modified checklist compared to WHO TCC reported a higher level of satisfaction. Implications and future directions are discussed.
