The aim of this project was to develop two e-modules that would provide skill development to help nurses facilitate goals of care conversations after an acute health event. The first e-module is a 15-minute video focusing on managing a commonly seen acute health event in long-term care was developed. The educational approach uses branching logic to guide learners through the emotions, care pathways and potential outcomes that can occur when responding to an acute health event. This session has been recorded and is being reviewed by nurse champions over the summer months.
The second session will be shorter – 3-5 minutes in length and will support the real-time application of key learnings, promoting practice change. It will be created after results of the review of the main session have been analyzed, and any recommendations for change are implemented. The uniqueness of this training, using branching logic and providing just-in-time support, facilitates practice change by enabling nurses to transfer the new learning to novel care situations.
