Abstract:
The aim of the paper is the description of a continuing education model based on the use of the Longitudinal-Electronic Healthcare Record, and in particular on the use of specific integrated functionalities to support training, sharing of documents and extraction of health case studies. These functionalities promote the creation of a shared (working and training) environment in which healthcare professionals can record, integrate, update and retrieve bibliographic information, guideline and document related to specific diagnostic and therapeutic thematic. The shared environment is structured to support the communication and cooperation between various healthcare professionals and facilitate the sharing of knowledge and experience and the active development of abilities, knowledge and competences of health specialists. Moreover, the Longitudinal-Electronic Healthcare Record represents a source of real patient data to generate health case studies for educational purpose. The integration of the training process in the daily clinical activity is supported, fostering the enhancement of the professionals’ performance, and then the improvement of the quality of the system of the clinical practice. The training model was been defined during the activities carried out within the Italian national project Smart Health 2.0.
