2013 project capstone workshop

Held in conjunction with Australian and New Zealand Association for Health Professional Education (ANZAHPE) annual conference, Melbourne, 25 June 2013.

1. Title Ehealth Education for Future Clinical Health Professionals

2. Background

The health workforce increasingly needs clinicians who are able to work professionally and proactively with the emerging and converging information and communication tools and technologies for healthcare that are collectively described as ‘ehealth’.

This two-year Australian Government project has produced important evidence and innovative resources to support systematic improvements in the ehealth education of future clinicians across the health professions, including:

Review of the international scholarly and report literature
Survey of degree coordinators’ perspectives and practices
Comparison of degree accreditation requirements
Analysis of key knowledge, skills and attributes in job advertisements
Inventory of internationally available resources for teaching
Development of introductory case studies for learning

3. Aim

Provide an interactive interprofessional learning experience focused on ehealth education issues and approaches in Australia and other parts of the world, for teachers, students, academic developers and researchers.

4. Focus questions

Why do health professionals need to know about ehealth and what does it mean for a health professional to be competent in ehealth?

What methods and resources are appropriate, available and effective for learning, teaching and assessment in the ehealth education of future clinical health professionals?

5. Activities

In a 90 minute workshop, in small groups and in plenary sessions with Australian project team members, participants will be guided to:

Examine current understandings about ehealth

Share existing ehealth education methods and activities

Devise ways to evaluate the impact of ehealth education locally and globally

Develop critical perspectives on ehealth education theory and practice
