Healthcare Education Learning Project (HELP) Services

• To connect Dartmouth Health educators/Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) with professional designers and resources to meet their education needs.
• To provide designers with adequate baseline information about potential projects to determine how best to proceed.
• To collect data on the volume and type of education requests submitted to CLPD.

• LDaS learning project examples
• SBER learning project examples

• Clear and timely communication.
• Collaboration with a team of experienced educational content designers.
• Many questions for SMEs to answer.
• Professional perspective and discussion regarding the technologies and modalities that will best meet your needs.

• Active engagement in the design process.
• Regular communication with the design team. To best assess how to build your educational activity, designers will need to engage directly with SMEs throughout the design process. Delays in answering questions will delay the building of the activity.
• Attendance at design meetings. Other staff may also attend, but the SME should always be present.

• Past/current efforts to address the problem.
• Impacts of the problem.
• Goal that is trying to be achieved.
• Learner population/target audience.
• Logistical considerations.

It’s important to start thinking about who your learners are. This will be an important discussion during your first meeting with designers, but isn’t essential for the intake form. For example, can your learners access the technology you want to use? Are your learners members of Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (Lebanon)? Different member organizations may have access to different technology or may have internal resources that can be utilized.

Any materials that would help our designers better understand the problem that you are seeking to address. Examples might include:

• Learning goals/objectives
• Reference materials
• Standards (i.e. clinical guidelines, Dartmouth Health policy, accreditation requirements)
• Existing relevant teaching materials

Interprofessional Continuing Education (IPCE) events allow facilitators and learners from different professions to learn from, with, and about each other. It is widely accepted that Interprofessional Education (IPE) is an effective model that is increasingly used to enhance patient care. In today’s health care environment, IPCE is being widely recognized as an essential element of high reliability organizations and contributes to the reduction of preventable medical errors.

CLPD-designed educational activities are eligible for Joint Accreditation contact hours.

For more information about accreditation, please visit the CLPD home page.

A designer will contact you within 7 to 10 days after submission to discuss next steps.
