CAPC Uses Mobile Learning to Help Clinicians Provide Palliative Care (2016 Case Study)
With the realization that there are not enough palliative care specialists to meet the needs of millions of U.S. patients, the Center to Advance Palliative Care built curriculum designed to train non-specialists in core palliative skills needed to improve the quality of life for seriously or chronically ill patients. CAPC’s 36 courses had to have content that meets the needs of diverse users, such as doctors, nurses, hospital employees, social workers and hospice nurses. Courses had to be available in short, interactive bits and work seamlessly on mobile devices and desktop computers for an on-the-go audience. In addition, CAPC reached its goal to have all 36 courses approved to provide continuing education units. The initiative earned a Silver Award for Best Use of Mobile Learning Technology in the 2016 Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Awards.
