Driving Innovation in Digital Training to Transform Patient Care
We are uniquely positioned at Cincinnati Children's to harness content expertise and software development talents to facilitate rapid prototyping of digital-based training programs. We work closely with the Center for Simulation Research to develop these innovative programs.
Prior interventions led by Drs. Zackoff and Real have demonstrated effectiveness with measurable patient-level outcomes and notable scholarly outputs (e.g., NIH-level funding, peer reviewed publications, national presentations). We have been deliberate in our approach to leverage digital based training solutions by considering the following critical steps:
- Identifying problems not addressed through current approaches (e.g., traditional QI methods or BMI support)
- Characterizing the knowledge, skill, or behavior deficit that underlies the problem
- Designing education interventions anchored in adult-learning and behavior change theories
- Capturing meaningful outcomes to demonstrate effectiveness to justify sustainability and spread
The portfolio of work completed by our team is broad and diverse with demonstrated effectiveness in addressing vaccine hesitancy, behavioral health counseling, shared decision making, firearm injury prevention, clinical assessment and management, and timely escalation of care in addition to others.
Work With Us
The team is actively seeking collaboration to spread established content to new sites or populations and partner with content experts to design digital training interventions that would support enhancing care and improving outcomes aligned with prevention of critical illness. The team additionally has experience with and interest in partnering with industry to support scale and spread of effective interventions.
