What is the most effective means of providing continuing job training to healthcare workers (nurses, doctors, etc.)?
I have invited you to this brainstorm because you 1) are smart 2 )work in healthcare or education 3) are nice and likley willing to help Healthcare workers require ongoing learning to understand new treatments, drugs, procedures, infection controls but are highly compromised in their ability to access learning as their work day does not facilitate taking time away from work i.e., taking care of patients, to gain this learning. The most common form of education are short 1 hour lunchtime "rounds" which are typically targeted to physicians and are assymetrical i.e., information is dumped but little opportunity to discuss, or practice. Further compromising is the large number of geographically isolated health workers in rural and small communities who require a general understanding and have difficulty benefiting from traditional learning rounds.
