3. Learning Objectives… • Define Blended Learning • Value Simulation as a Critical Component of Blended Learning for Healthcare Learners • Recall the Components of the Circle of Learning • Discuss how a Current Lesson Module can be Converted to a Blended Approach • Demonstrate operations of HeartCode BLS or ACLS • Utilize Team Simulation for BLS or ACLS training • Recall 10 Tips for Successful Blended Implementation

4. Introduce Yourselves… • Name • Where are you from? • What are your interests in blended learning? • What are your expectations for today’s session?

5. What is Blended Learning? “The combination of different training media (ie., technologies, activities, and types of events) to create an optimum training program for a specific audience. The term “blended” means that traditional instructor-led training is being supplemented with other electronic formats” (Bersin, 2004).

6. Is Medical Simulation a Blended Approach? Dr. David Gaba(2004) has defined simulation as a “ ...technique, not a technology, to replace or amplify real experiences with guided experiences, often immersive in nature, that evoke or replicate substantial aspects of the real world in a fully interactive fashion” (p. i2). He describes a simulator as a “device” that mimics a real patient or a part of the human body, and that is capable of interaction with the learner.

7. Blended Learning Curricula Are NOT Successful When They… • Consist of flat e-Learning on a page (Reading Text on a Computer) • Consist of random, unlinked activities • Are instructor – focused • Were built without deliberate instructional design techniques • Don’t focus on performance

8. Blended Implies Content and Concept Integration • Curriculum Integration • Increasing Level of Difficulty • Feedback to Learners • Repetitive Practice

9. So Why Should You Implement a Blended Solution? Student Benefits • Engage in Active Learning Opportunities • Learn via Multiple Learning Strategies • Flexible Learning Times • Increase Practice / Application Time • Improve Critical Thinking • Improve Performance • Improve Test Scores • Develop Adult Learning Skills Faculty/ Program Benefits • Increase Performance • Increase Test Scores • Improve Critical Thinking • Improve Patient Outcomes • Reduce Training Cost / Time Burdens • Standardize Education • Benchmark Performance • Resource for Adjunct Faculty • Curriculum Integration • Meet Accreditation / Oversight Educational Standards

10. Where Are We Today? How Does Your e-Learning Match Up?

11. How To Design Simulation – Based Blended Learning • Begin with the End in Mind • Learning • Performance • Critical Thinking Concepts • Patient Outcomes • Individual Performance • Team Performance & Communication • Environment/ Culture • Systems Analysis • Benchmark Success – ‘What Does it Look Like?’ • Develop Student-Centered, not Instructor-Centered Learning Activities • Set the Students up for Success • Integrate and Weave Concepts through the Blend • Plan the Time to do it Right “We can only consider what is learned, as being taught.”… Anonymous

20. From Learning to Behavior, to Results Measure, Analyze, Revise, Improve

21. From Learning to Behavior, to Results The Kirkpatrick Model of Evaluation

22. Let’s See It in Action!

23. Case Study – From the Field Northwestern Memorial Hospital is an 897-bed tertiary-care urban teaching hospital. The hospital’s Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) is a 20-bed facility that treats approximately 1,500 patients annually. Medical Residents insert the greatest number of central lines at the MICU – it is believed that improper technique increases the risk of catheter-based infections. The Residency Director hypothesizes that training the residents on a standardized approach to central line insertion will reduce the incidence of CBI.

25. Level 4: Results

26. Today’s Case: Problem Statement St. Elsewhere Hospital is an 650-bed community hospital with an Emergency Department as well as primary stroke and heart attack services. The hospital’s Medical Surgical Unit (Med-Surg) units are large and are staffed by more than 350 registered nurses. Two nursing schools in the area have a total of 40 students on the unit every day with clinical instructors. The hospital is renewing its Chest Pain Certification this year, and has been evaluating cardiac data on all units. The average resuscitation rate from V-Fib arrests in the hospital is 55%, above the national average. However, on the med-surg units, it is only 30%. The response time of the Emergency team is 5 minutes to the unit. Surveys have identified that the nurses deliver disorganized, ineffective care in the initial minutes of these emergencies. The Chief Medical Officer tasks you with designing education to improve this problem, deliver training to the nurses, and requires all students who will be on the units to complete the training as well.

27. Today’s Case – What Does Success Look Like?

28. Design for Success 10.5 Tips for Success • Begin with backwards design • Determine what goes where • Build learning communities into the design • Set clear expectations & detailed student directions • Orient learners to the course / blended learning process • Communicate in multiple modes – learning preferences • Use a variety of voices / media types • Elicit frequent feedback • Present a friendly tone • Keep organization simple & consistent 10.5 Educators: Revisit, Review, & Revise - Adapted from K. Teeley, RN: Simmons College Adapted from Karen Teeley, RN, Simmons College - Boston

29. Let’s Design the Blend! • Begin with the End in Mind !!! • (Nursing Education: First 5 Minutes Treatment for Cardiac Arrest) • Group 1: What Cognitive Topics/ Objectives Need to be Achieved? How can we use data to convince people this is important training and that behavior needs to change? • Group 2: What Skills do the Nurses need to have Competency in? How would you design the skills competencies? • Group 3: What Types of Computer Simulation or other Application – Level activities exist that you will use to reinforce concepts and integrate skills into practice? • Group 4: Design 2 Simulations to utilize during Team Training. • Group 5: What topics would you cover in Debriefing and why? Would they differ for student nurses and practicing RNs? Why or why not? • Group 6: How can you continually support Behavior Change after the training? • Group 7: How would you evaluate if any systems/ environmental factors need to be changed to support the new performance standards? How would you design a program so people maintain their practice skills?

30. Course Plan & Execution – Rotate Through Skills Stations • Course: First 5 Minutes for Med-Surg Nursing • Cognitive Activities: Pre-test, Survivor Video Testimonial, Hospital and Unit Statistics, First 5 Minutes Webinar, Video and Performance Checklist Download, Policy/Procedure Download, Post-test • Skills Assessment: Code Cart (Backboard & Defib Pad review), BVM ventilation of patient, Oxygen devices & flowrates, Calling for help, Patient assessment, Quality of Compressions (Voice-Activated Manikins and Skill Reporter) • Students Only: Case Discussion during Class: Michael Swan • Computer Simulation: Heartcode BLS or ACLS with Skills Competency on voice-activated manikins for Certification • Simulation in Teams: Complete two successful simulations as team leader. 1 patient in bed, 1 patient in bathroom • Debriefing: Major points: Calling for Help Process, Initiating Supine on Flat Surface or Backboard, Performing High-Quality Chest Compressions • Reflection (Students): Homework assignment Reinforcement/ Patient Care (Staff): On-unit reminders, supervisor support, charge nurse bedside debrief at actual events • MOC Program set up every quarter for everyone to refresh. Education reproduced for new hires. Monthly mock codes done on the floor with mobile simulation. Equipment and policy changes to improve resources for staff
