MEDS Ed:为医疗保健专业人员提供课堂

- innovation
医疗保健专业人员面临着日益增长的教育需求,他们需要了解复杂、不断变化的主题,以便更好地为患者服务。MEDS Ed是CareOregon开发的一项创新计划,通过就关键问题提供方便实用的教育来满足这一需求。
MEDS Ed has grown and evolved over the past decade to spark learning for thousands of health care professionals—both inside and outside of CareOregon—on crucial issues that align with our commitment to health equity.
Topics range from substance use disorder to prison transitions to gender-affirming care—all designed to support knowledge-sharing and professional growth. All to ensure that health care professionals are equipped with the knowledge and tools to provide equitable, effective care.
CareOregon培训与发展专家Paul Carson表示:“MEDS Ed帮助医疗保健专业人员获得他们所需的不断发展的信息,从而真正改变患者的生活。我们通过解决关键且经常被忽视的问题来填补知识空白,并帮助建立一个更加公平、有效的医疗保健系统。”
学习的社区
MEDS Ed的学员包括来自俄勒冈州各地的医生、执业护士、护士、县卫生部门、药剂师和社会工作者,其中约有20%到30%是CareOregon的员工。讲师来自组织内外,包括传统医疗系统、俄勒冈健康与科学大学以及当地县卫生部门。
MEDS Ed began in early 2015. It was originally conceived by Jim Slater, CareOregon's Chief Pharmacy Officer, who wanted to create a free education series for nurses. He brought Carson—who has a background in corporate training and development— on in February 2015.
教育课程最初是在CareOregon办公室进行的,当时只能容纳约100名参与者。由于2020年爆发了COVID疫情,该系列课程需要做出调整。组织者很快发现,将MEDS Ed打造成一个线上课程是必经之路,尤其是考虑到线上课程更便于人们利用CareOregon的协调护理组织(CCO)——来自俄勒冈州西北部的Jackson Care Connect和Columbia Pacific CCO的人员(均为CareOregon大家庭的一部分)无需前往Portland即可在线参加培训。
“[改为线上方式]实际上是MEDS Ed做出的最佳决策之一,它使我们能够通过这种方式真正深入地接触CCO。”Carson谈到。MEDS Ed自2018年左右开始为通过美国家庭医师学会在线平台现场参加会议的专业人士提供CME学分。
引发变革
每年通常会举办六次教育课程。每次课程大约有两个小时的教学内容,然后是30分钟的小组问答环节。之后,任何人都可以在YouTube上访问这些课程。
MEDS Ed topics are chosen based on suggestions from CareOregon medical directors, senior leadership, session audiences, and MEDS Ed stakeholders. Sometimes topics that may not be inherently exciting are packaged in an entertaining way—like a December session on pharmacy benefits, which was billed as "The Upside-Down of Pharmacy Benefits" and featured a “Stranger Things” vibe from the hit Netflix show. Other topics include specific medications, motivational interviewing and substance use disorder. And the most-watched MEDS Ed video on YouTube aims to help healthcare professionals navigate the fentanyl crisis.
“MEDS Ed的真正影响源于它将人们与有意义的、可操作的知识联系起来的方式。”Carson说,“每次会议都是一个激发变革的机会——无论是改善护理实践、解决健康公平问题,还是为整个医疗保健界创造合作机会。这就是让我们的学员保持参与度并且愿意多次参加的原因。”
