| Learning Objective #1: Describe demand for expediting transfer of new knowledge related to venous access device safety into interdisciplinary clinical practice | |||
| Learning Objective #2: Analyze strengths, limitations and clinical impacts of UCSF Venous Access Safety instructional design and Web delivery strategy |
The UCSF Interdisciplinary Venous Access Safety course emerged in response to empirical and quality evidence that hospital complication rates associated with vascular access devices(VADs) pose a significant threat to clinical outcomes, patient safety and healthcare costs. A convergence of evidence suggests that VADs are a high volume, high risk and problem prone interdisciplinary process of care across the continuum. This report presents preliminary outcomes from the development and pilot testing a web-based clinical interdisciplinary education program--both academic and continuing education versions. The instructional program includes 8 modules and reflects innovative systematic instructional design strategies, leverages technology and provides an educational resource of international interest.
