A comparison of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing's basic principles and benefits of competency-based nursing education and Fink's taxonomy.

For over a century, Bloom's hierarchical taxonomy has been the gold standard for writing objectives for curricula and courses in programs of nursing. Development of courses and curricula with demonstration of nursing competencies as the outcome requires a more robust taxonomy. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) The Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education requires nursing students to meet competencies in assertive leadership, personal development around adapting to ambiguity and change, and professional life-long learning.

Using case-based learning to teach evidence-based practice: A pilot study.

Background: The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) promotes the use of evidence-based practice (EBP) in the provision of clinical services by speech-language pathologists (SLPs). Therefore, training in the EBP process is vital in the education of future SLPs. Case-based learning (CBL) has been found effective in facilitating transfer of knowledge and skills in various fields; however, its utilisation to teach EBP to SLP students is understudied.

Developing better digital health measures of Parkinson's disease using free living data and a crowdsourced data analysis challenge.

One of the promising opportunities of digital health is its potential to lead to more holistic understandings of diseases by interacting with the daily life of patients and through the collection of large amounts of real-world data. Validating and benchmarking indicators of disease severity in the home setting is difficult, however, given the large number of confounders present in the real world and the challenges in collecting ground truth data in the home. Here we leverage two datasets collected from patients with Parkinson's disease, which couples continuous wrist-worn accelerometer data with frequent symptom reports in the home setting, to develop digital biomarkers of symptom severity.
