SiTEL of MedStar Health, a leader in innovative learning, won a coveted Brandon Hall bronze award for excellence in the BEST USE OF BLENDED LEARNING category. Winners were announced on Thursday, November 4. The winners are listed at www.brandon-hall.com.
“MedStar Obstetrical Safety Training: Transforming Highly Qualified Medical Experts into High Reliability Medical Teams” is the work that won BEST USE OF BLENDED LEARNING. This course focuses on teams who need to complete a set of tasks in rapid order in an effort to save obstetrical patients or neonates life. The course trains obstetricians, anesthesia, neonatologists, nurses, and others to work together to deliver patient care in emergent situations. Participants will complete pre-course materials on SiTELMS, participate in a simulation program with facilitated debriefing, and post course assessments. Trainees will understand the rationale for team training, where it fits into a quality patient safety program, fundamentals of teamwork (with emphasis on cooperation and communication), and the importance of practice. They will confront a series of different crisis events on the units they work on to appreciate the underlying principles of team function. Cases will be tailored to the needs of the organization as well as to the types of participants who are scheduled for participation.
