Online Training for Healthcare Workers
By Dr. Colla J. MacDonald, Dr. Emma J. Stodel, and Lynn Casimiro (Ph.D. Candidate)
Extracted from eLearningMag.org - Online Training for Healthcare Workers
Article excerpt - "Canada's population is rapidly aging. Associated with an aging population is a prevalence of syndromes such as Alzheimer's disease and other dementia's (Romanow, 2002).
There is an urgent need to provide training and support for healthcare workers in LTC facilities to ensure they are qualified to provide quality care to their residents.
The purpose of this study was to design, develop, deliver, and evaluate an e-learning dementia care program aimed at enabling healthcare teams to deliver better service to residents with dementia in LTC facilities.
This program was implemented with a non-computer literate group, but because the learning process was flexible and the content was pertinent, the program was an overall success. TrainingDepartment's e-learning software is easy to implement and easy to use. Providing accurate, timely, useful content is where you will and should be spending your time.
It is clear that the e-learning dementia care program developed in this project met many of the demands of the learners and organisations. Learners learned and applied new skills and their organisations benefited. Higher management were interested in offering this program in their facilities again. Although the demands of the program were too high for the time available, the learners found it to be a convenient and flexible way to learn and benefited from being able to engage in the program at any time and any place. This project demonstrated that online dementia care training is both a feasible and cost effective strategy for delivering consistent, high quality training in the healthcare field. A number of recommendations for improving this program for future e-learning initiatives have been presented. It should be noted that all of these recommendations can be implemented with relative ease and should be before the program is offered again.
In the future, this program has the potential to allow healthcare professionals from across Canada to access dementia care training at any time and any place, including those who live in rural and remote areas. Moreover, this project makes steps in assisting Canada become a world leader in healthcare e-learning."
This is an excellent example on how e-learning can be used within the healthcare industry to provide extensive training that can be studied in a flexible manor.
