Guest: Julie White, BA, MS, CHCP
At the 2018 Alliance for Continuing Education in Healthcare Professions meeting, host Alicia Sutton spoke with Ilana Hardesty BA, and Julie White, BA, MS, CHCP from Boston University School of Medicine CME Office on trigger videos to model effective communication strategies. Ms. White explais trigger videos as: "..an offiicial description from Academic Medicine. A trigger film is a short scene depicting a typical clinical situation with a patient or fellow colleague. These films trigger discussions of the issues and circumstances raised in the films. Basically, in layman's terms, a trigger video is really designed to elicit emotion, kind of get the audience primed for discussion."
Tune in to see a real trigger video and learn how to effectively develop a patient-centered scenario to illustrate a communication message.

Guest: Whitney E. Faler, MPA
In medical education, it is frequently asked whether an activity was successful, ie. improved outcomes. But, it rarely asks “why”. What factors contribute to the success or failure of CE activities and how can CE providers ensure they are developing and implementing activities that improve patient outcomes?
Jamie Reiter, PhD* and Whitey Faler, MPA from CME Outfitters, LLC sit down with Alicia Sutton at the Alliance for Continuing Education in the Health Professions annual conference to discuss the “why” behind successful and unsuccessful educational activities and the approaches CE providers should understand in creating medical education. More specifically, the value of using predictive modeling and how best to implement this into your activities.

Annually, there are around 150,000 certified activities produced in the US annually. However, meta-analyses and research estimates that less than 20% of those educational activities drive behavior change and probably less than 5% lead to improvements in patient outcomes. With a vast array of continuing education (CE) activities available to healthcare professionals (HCPs) and the delay in data on the effectiveness and outcomes of CE activities, it's difficult for HCPs and CE stakeholders to determine the most effective education that has the greatest potential to lead to behavior change thus improving patient care.
During the Alliance for Continuing Education in the Healthcare Professions annual meeting host Alicia Sutton speaks with guests Hilary Schmidt, PhD, John Ruggiero, PhD, MPA, CHCP, Gregory Salinas, PhD, and Nili Solomonov in a two-part interview covering:
- The current state of CE activities and address the lack of objective, reliable, and empirical assessment available to prospectively identify CE activities that have the greatest potential to lead to improvements in health care practice.
- The development of a new Instructional Design Rating Scale and its reliability and predictive validity in driving behavior change through rigorous research methods based on the science of human learning.
