实践中的临床医生,特别是在农村地区,往往是孤立的学习机会和互动与专科供应商。儿科医生学习和协作教育(Peds PLACE),一个互动的教育远程医疗计划,开发,以满足这一需求。我们通过与执业和学术医生的调查评估了该计划的成功。Peds PLACE使用2007年10月至2008年5月收集的两份评估表进行评估。其中一项由来自阿肯色州大学医学科学(UAMS)的197名与会者和来自偏远地区的172名与会者完成。另一份表格由来自阿肯色州儿童医院(ACH)的131名参与者填写,ACH是一家学术性的独立儿童医院。两份评估表都要求参与者使用5分制的李克特量表对一些标准进行排名,并包括一个供参与者撰写评论和建议的部分。通过对参与者的开放式电子邮件调查收集了更多数据。95%的参与者认为这些演讲与他们的专业需求有关,98%的人认为这些演讲增加了他们的主题知识,81%的人认为这些演讲是他们参加过的最好的演讲,93%的人认为这些信息将转化为专业实践,提高患者护理水平。来自UAMS的卫生人员对演示文稿的评价明显高于远程参与者。护理人员评价的介绍显着高于医务人员。评论通常是积极的,并与李克特量表数据相关。参与者报告说,他们对Peds PLACE非常满意,并认为这是解决整个阿肯色州从业者继续教育需求的有效途径,特别是在农村和服务不足的地区。
Practicing clinicians, especially in rural areas, are often isolated from learning opportunities and interaction with subspecialty providers. The Pediatric Physician Learning and Collaborative Education (Peds PLACE), an interactive educational telemedicine program, was developed to address this need. We evaluated the success of this program through surveys with practicing and academic physicians. Peds PLACE was assessed using two evaluation forms collected from October 2007 to May 2008. One of them was completed by 197 attendees from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) and 172 from remote sites. Another form was completed by 131 participants from Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH), an academic free standing children's hospital. Both evaluation forms asked participants to use a 5-point Likert scale to rank a number of criteria and included a section for participants to write comments and recommendations. Additional data was collected through an open-response email survey of participants. 95% of the participants agreed that the presentations related to their professional needs, 98% agreed that it increased their subject matter knowledge, 81% evaluated the presentations as some of the best they have attended, and 93% agreed that the information would translate into professional practice, enhancing patient care. Health personnel from UAMS evaluated the presentations significantly higher than remote participants. Nursing staff evaluated the presentations significantly higher than medical staff. Comments were generally positive and correlated with the Likert scale data. Participants reported being highly satisfied with Peds PLACE and considered it an effective way to address the continuing education needs of practitioners throughout Arkansas, especially in rural and underserved areas.
