Communicating with Older Drivers: A Web-based Course

描述（由申请人提供）：此SBIR建议开发和评估一个基于网络的，CME批准的程序，在医患沟通有关驾驶停止。该计划将提供有关提供者与老年患者沟通的信息，驾驶事故的流行病学和风险因素，并将教授从业者与老年患者使用有效的沟通策略。内容将由研究者制定，并由医生焦点小组提供信息。第一阶段的具体目标是：1）为整个计划制定内容大纲; 2）开发基于网络的计划的设计和格式; 3）为一个部分计划模块开发脚本和故事板; 4）开发此部分（原型）在网上; 5）进行可行性评估的原型（随机对照试验，N=50）;和6）制定一个计划和时间表，生产的全长程序和继续医学教育认证在第二阶段。 该项目涉及NERI，波士顿大学医学院和老年驾驶员和车祸风险因素领域的专家顾问的密切合作。基于网络的计划将作为一个CME产品，通过NERI的电子商务网站和波士顿大学医学院继续医学教育办公室的医生销售。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This SBIR proposes to develop and evaluate a web-based, CME-approved program in doctor-patient communication about driving cessation. The program will provide information about provider-older patient communication, the epidemiology of and risk factors for driving mishaps, and will teach practitioners effective communication strategies to use with their older patients. The content will be developed by the investigators and informed by a focus group of physicians. The Specific Aims of Phase I are to: 1) develop a content outline for the full program; 2) develop the design and format of the web-based program; 3) develop a script and storyboard for one partial program module; 4) develop this section (prototype) on the web; 5) conduct a feasibility evaluation of the prototype (randomized controlled trial, N=50); and 6) develop a plan and schedule for production of the full-length program and CME accreditation in Phase II. This project involves close collaboration of NERI, the Boston University School of Medicine, and expert consultants in the field of older drivers and risk factors for auto crashes. The web-based program will be marketed as a CME product for physicians through NERI's e-commerce website and the Boston University School of Medicine Office of Continuing Medical Education.
