Communicating with Older Drivers: A Web-based Course

描述(由申请者提供)：这项SBIR建议开发和评估一个基于网络的、经CME批准的关于停止驾驶的医患沟通计划。该计划将提供有关提供者与老年患者沟通、驾驶事故的流行病学和风险因素的信息，并将教授从业者如何使用有效的沟通策略来处理他们的老年患者。内容将由调查人员制定，并由医生焦点小组提供信息。第一阶段的具体目标是：1)制定完整计划的内容大纲；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)在网络上开发这一部分(原型)；5)对原型进行可行性评估(随机对照试验，N=50)；以及6)为第二阶段的完整计划和CME认证的生产制定计划和时间表。 该项目涉及NERI、波士顿大学医学院和老年司机和车祸风险因素领域的专家顾问的密切合作。这一基于网络的计划将通过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作为一种面向医生的CME产品进行营销。

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.
