5. The Problem
• Increased EHR Adoption
– Poor training cited as barrier
• Common Scenarios for training
– Core Team creates training
• Limited experience creating educational sessions
– Start out with point and click
– “How To” Step by Step walkthrough
– Not enough time to “apply” and “consider”
– Limited or No Use of Education Department
5
6. What’s Wrong with That?
• Weaknesses
– No use of theory
– No support of change management
– Time Constraints
– Did not use resources available
• Education Department
– No True Competency Testing
– Only Major Functions Addressed
6
7. Adult Learning
• Key Concepts
– Adults are internally motivated and self-directed
– Adults bring life experiences and knowledge that
should be used, shared and respected - collaborative
– Adults are problem centered
• Respond to learning based on immediate needs
• Want to solve real life problems
– Need to apply actively – their own workflows
7
8. Constructivism
• Traditional Learning
– Knowledge transmitted and external to user
– Teachers can impart information but doesn’t mean
students will learn
• Constructivism Key Concepts
– Learning occurs when learner uses information to
think
• Knowledge is constructed by learner’s actions,
experience, and perceptions
• Learning is active, authentic and resembles real
life experiences
8
9. Constructivism
• Supports adult learning theory
– Adults bring life experiences and knowledge that
should be used, shared, respected
– Expands on wealth of knowledge brought into
classroom
• Technology
– Use to support knowledge construction
– Supports learning by doing
– Access to knowledge and other learners
9
10. Flipped Classroom
• Key Concepts
– Use of Educational Technology
– Learning through Activity
– The Flip
• From traditional model of lecture in class; homework outside of class
• To learner obtaining basic concepts outside of class and cementing
more complex concepts in a classroom setting with peers and subject
matter experts
10
11. Flipped Classroom
• Increased adoption driven by
– Poor learning outcomes
– Prevalence of online videos

11
12. Flipped Classroom
• Outside of Classroom
– Saves time for “cementing” more complex concepts
for in classroom w/ experts
– “Homework” done in class with support
– Supports adult learning concepts
• Adults self motivated and self-directed
12
13. Trends in Other Sectors
• Addressing Digital Literacy
– Minnesota’s Northstar assessment free online measurement of
skills
http://digitalliteracyassessment.org/
• “Bridge” Models
– Connect those who are close but need more help to succeed
• Innovation – Bridge Course vs. Full Course?
• Contextualization
– In class coursework relevant to specialty not generic
• Online Generic
13
14. Trends in Other Sectors
• Acceleration
– Integrating basic skills with coursework
• Timing close so that the coursework builds on the basic skills
• Intelligent Tutoring
– Holding conversations with teachers and fellow students
– Innovation: Ask participants what is wrong with current
system
• Instead of spoon feeding that the EHR is great because…. Make
room for conversations about the pitfalls of paper
• Supports Change Management
14
15. Trends in Other Sectors
• Mobile
– Games and apps
• “Wraparound Services”
– Additional support
• Embedded & Blended Professional
Development
– Training very directly related to their workflow
• Supports Adult Learning Theory
15
16. Top Trends in Ed Tech 2015
16
• Online corporate learning
– Allows learner access 24/7 on any device
• Skills measurement
– Smarterer -10 questions measure skill set
• Interactive w/ learner
• Competency-based training
– Stackable, scalable programs
• Flipped-learning tech
– Cloud based, mobile, and app solutions
17. Where to Begin?
“What’s right is what’s left after
everything else you’ve done is wrong.”
Robin Williams

22
23. Tips Teaching-Learning Process
• Be sensitive to cultural differences
– No acronyms, slang or jargon
• Give frequent and immediate feedback
– Use body language
– Encourage applause
– Throw candy
• For doing it right AND making a mistake

24. Developing Content - Basics
• Lesson Plan Template
– Organizes Your Thinking
• Audience
• Purpose
• Objectives
• Aids and Materials
• Course Contents
24
25. Why Bother with Objectives?
Connects content with assessment
Guides the selection of activities – meet
objectives
Learners know what is expected of them
Basis for evaluation – teacher, learner,
content
25
26. From Objective to Content
• Set / Focus / Motivation:
– General Interest
– Activate Prior Knowledge
– Share Purpose and Objectives
26
27. Content
• Input/Model – The Body
– Logical/Sequential – Teach in “steps” or present in a
timeline or workflow format – Know their workflows!
– Problem/Solution – Present the problem, give the solution
Repeat.
– Old vs. New – Present the old way/knowledge with the new
way/knowledge
– Top 10 (etc) List – Good when trying to convince your
audience why the new is better than the old –
Know your audience!
• Line of service specific – Pediatrician vs Surgeon vs Anesthesiology
• Unit specific – ICU nurse vs Pre-Op Nurse vs RT
27
28. Role-Based Scenarios
• Admitting/Attending
– Day of Admission
– Day 2 & Forward
• Transfer – ICU to Med/Surg, PACU to ICU, etc.

Editor's Notes
In the beginning, we put together a class with a manual and a sign in sheet. The manual listed all the things we wanted to teach sometimes with screenshots. For novice trainers, it was easy to get sidetracked and then difficult to get back on track.
If the students have clear objectives
Help the instructor guide the learning activities
Student is better able to easily assess/evaluate whether the instructor was able to meet these objectives
Workflow mapping should be done prior to developing the content. This should be done in a multidisciplinary approach and every process that is taught needs to be carefully mapped out. Sometimes this requires management approval for certain scenarios. Not just managers, but working staff should be involved!
Provide workflow for each scenario keeping in mind that all providers do not practice the same!
Keep this current!!
We use you tube videos especially for provider training. They can access from their phone or iPad and we get feedback they actually watch them. We can incorporate in an LMS module or send a link via email or include in JIT popups in their apps

A few years ago I was consulting w/a company where we were working on a go-live implementation. Education was very disjointed; however, the OR education team was creating a “book” using iBooks Author, an application that is free from Apple. What they showed us what remarkable in terms of it’s concept, design and capability. It was actually a “how to” type book [some type of surgery] that included interactive components. And you don’t need a Mac to access the material. I checked out the App Store today and the original app is still free but now there are about a dozen additional apps, most costing $$, but look helpful in boosting the original application. It’s might be worth looking at…

I work with 2 EHR’s and for Meaningful Use Stage 2; we developed MU Playbooks for each stage and each EHR. We used a similar program to Captivate and it is a SAP product, Work Performance Builder. The end product was an interactive step by step instruction for how to meet the measures within each EHR with additional information on registration, reporting, and attestation. We were able to build in links to other documents like troubleshooting guides, role based education guide, etc.. We could have included testing and additional feedback, but opted not to at the time.
