| Riassunto: | This is the final report of a project that aimed to encourage and support program coordinators and directors of Australian undergraduate and postgraduate coursework programs in all allied health, nursing and medical professions to address the need for ehealth education for entry-level clinical health professionals. This report provides an introduction to ehealth and ehealth education for clinicians; outlines the project methodology; and reviews the international literature on university learning, teaching, assessment and evaluation of ehealth education for clinicians. It presents project investigations and contributions of three types: support for academic development, through exploration of current practices and perspectives and through workshop discussions; materials for teaching and learning, including an inventory of resource documents and a set of clinical scenarios; and influences on curriculum renewal, including accreditation requirements and employer expectations. The report includes five recommendations for further work to develop ehealth education for the health professions in Australia: 1. New learning, teaching and assessment resources are needed to explain and explore ehealth and clinical informatics in current and future healthcare contexts; 2. Up-to-date professional development in ehealth and clinical informatics needs to be made accessible to teachers, tutors and student supervisors in the health professions; 3. Revised accreditation and certification frameworks for the clinical health professions need to include clear specifications of ehealth and clinical informatics competencies; 4. Human resources management of professional staff in healthcare organisations needs to recognise and reward ehealth and clinical informatics competencies; and 5. Systematic planning and development of professional practice in the health professions needs to integrate long-term ehealth and clinical informatics goals. [Executive summary, ed] |
