The positive impact of team-based virtual microscopy on student learning in physiology and histology.

Published: September 2007

Team-based virtual microscopy and on-line learning were used to transform the first-year Physiology/Histology course at The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine into a student-centered learning environment. Prior to each laboratory session, students were required to view prelaboratory virtual lectures and examine digital slides that had been enhanced with annotations and 2-min microlectures. The laboratory classroom was then used for team-based learning exercises including student presentations and small-group discussions designed to integrate histology and physiology. The results of quantitative assessments indicated an 8- to 14-point increase over the identical final exams given over the past 5 yr. Means (+/-SD) of percent correct answers on the final exam were found to be 75.2% (11.1%), 72.5% (12.6%), 70.5% (12.6%), 73.6% (11.3%), 73.1% (12.2%), and 84.1% (9.1%) for years 2001-2006, respectively. The mean test scores for all other years were statistically lower compared with 2006, as determined by the Bonferroni post hoc multiple-comparison test (P < 0.001 for all years).

Background: The quality of Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Automated External Defibrillations (AED) treatment provided by individual practitioners is the most important factor in surviving an in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA); therefore, healthcare professionals (HCPs) require sufficient resuscitation competency. This study aimed to analyze the effects of a blended team-based CPR and AED simulation training (riAniMO program) on HCPs performance, satisfaction and perception on transferability, and costs.

Methods: The riAniMO is based on a multimedia training program with video lessons and a virtual CPR resuscitation simulation, and a team-based CPR and AED simulation.

Background: Depression screening is an important first step to identifying patients who might benefit from depression treatment. Merit-based incentive payment system (MIPS) quality measures can yield financial benefits or losses for healthcare systems, including depression screening.

Objectives: This study aims to (1) develop a team-based care workflow to improve MIPS depression screening in a specialty clinic and (2) modify the workflow to include a virtual nursing and behavioral health resource after the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

Background: IMPLEMENT-HF demonstrated a virtual team-based care strategy was safe and improved prescription of guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT) in hospitalized patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). We evaluated differences in efficacy and safety outcomes by ethnicity in IMPLEMENT-HF.

Methods: IMPLEMENT-HF evaluated a provider-facing virtual team-based care strategy vs.

Background And Objectives: Rural caregivers of people living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) face unique caregiving challenges. Current interventions do not address many of the systemic barriers experienced by rural ADRD caregivers, including barriers related to geography, healthcare services access, and financial insecurity. The objective of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of rural ADRD caregivers' needs, strengths, and strategies in obtaining caregiving support, and to represent these attributes in the form of personas that can be used to design interventions for rural ADRD caregivers.

Background: Sepsis is a global healthcare challenge and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. In the USA, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has integrated the Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock Management Bundle (SEP-1) into their Core Quality Measures, which has been linked to lower mortality rates. However, SEP-1's multiple bundle elements present compliance challenges without comprehensive education and a collaborative approach involving nurses and providers (attending physicians, resident physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants).
