Learning in the clinical workplace

Health e-Learning Management SystemImplementation of a standards-based, virtual learning environment,

education administration and performance management system for medical practitioners, nurses and allied health professionals throughout Australia through the specification, acquisition, adaptation and development of a digital media repository and best of breed clinical education technology

• Reflective practice• Deliberate practice• Apprenticeship & role modeling• Didactic teaching• Self-directed learning• Simulated practice• Interdisciplinary learning

Clinical Learning Objects

'Containers', structured in a meaningful way, tied to educational objectives and

characterised by being stand-alone, reusable, interactive, aggregative,

interoperable & accessible

• DEEWR - Australian Flexible Learning Framework• ANSI / European Union - MedBiquitous SCORM for Healthcare • AMC compliance• AHPRA compliance• NEHTA compliance• XML and Web service standards

Conclusion

• A framework to specify a virtual learning environment for health professional training in the Australian clinical workplace

• Utilising Clinical Learning Objects to achieve standards-based interoperability but ensuring that it is meaningful and understandable

• A modular approach supporting the acquisition, adaptation and development of best of breed education technology

• Six interrelated domains:

- e-Portal (Organisation Chart / Professional Profile)- e-Learning (Curriculum Inventory / Learning Event Object)- e-Portfolio (Competency Framework / Learning Trajectory)

- e-Practice (Patient / VP Master Index / Activity Log)- e-Performance (Performance Framework / Appraisal Object)

- e-Deployment (Hospital Allocation / Shift Object)
