Academic Education Solution Consortium: A Partnership of Schools of Nursing Judith J. Warren, PhD, RN, BC, FAAN, FACMI Allen Hanberg, PhD, RN Carol Sternberger, PhD, RN, CNE Tammy Toscos, PhDc, MS
Objectives Describe the goals of the Academic Education Solution Consortium Participants will identify the benefits of consortium membership as they integrate an EHR into nursing curricula Discuss the use of the AES in conducting nursing assessment and simulations
Challenges from the Institute of Medicine Explores the issues of quality in health care and recommends the use of patient information systems and technology. One of the recommendations led to establishment of our SEEDS program. All health professional should be educated to deliver patientcentered care as member of an interdisciplinary team, emphasizing evidence-based practice, quality improvement approaches, and informatics.
Academic Education Solution A live production EHR adapted to provide teaching and learning tools to assist health professional students to develop competencies to harness the power of information technology, thus improving the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare.
Goals of the Academic Education Solution Consortium History of the AES Consortium Operating rules and governance Social networking--ucern Examples of collaboration Members of the AES Consortium
Cerner s Academic Education Consortium AES Reference Site AES Client Use by Discipline Nursing (50%) HIM (20%) Allied Health (15%) Pharmacy (10%)
Governance Activities and Social Networking Facilitate Collaboration All members of the Consortium manage the content and functionality of the domain Approve content for assessment forms, goal statements, and order sets Standardize with evidence Develop reference text to support point of learning moments Create and share case studies Collaborate on developing new educational strategies Schools present and publish together
Benefits of AES Consortium Membership: Integration of the EHR into nursing curricula University of Utah, College of Nursing Indiana University Purdue University Fort Wayne, Department of Nursing University of Kansas, School of Nursing
The University of Utah: Spanning The Curriculum With A.E.S. Allen D. Hanberg, Ph.D., R.N.
The University of Utah Spanning The Curriculum With A.E.S. 1: Background 2: Unintended Consequences 3: A.E.S. & Simulation Based Learning 4: Pedagogy Drives Practice 5: Next Steps
Background Information Management By 2014 all Americans will have an electronic health record An essential competency of the Baccalaureate graduate Integral for the provision of care in technology driven work environments Establishes a foundation for evidence-based practice Ornes, L.L., & Gassert, C.A. (2007). Computer competencies in a BSN program. Journal of Nursing Education, 46(2), 75 78
Background Lessons Learned: Most of the documentation was usable as is Very flexible/customizable to our needs The Diffusion of a NEW Innovation: Was initially met with mixed responses. We identified AES champions to spearhead the movement. Identified an AES CoN Administrator from the first semester nursing curriculum.
Background Use data to monitor the outcomes of care processes Use improvement methods to design and test changes for continuous quality and safety improvement. Use information and technology to Communicate Manage knowledge Mitigate error Support decision making
Unintended Consequences Solving EHR and information technology educational needs. Unintentionally spearheaded early curriculum evaluation and reform Concepts rather than content Led the way for full curriculum reform Became a natural fit with simulation based learning
A.E.S. & Simulation Based Learning Simulation-Based Learning Provides effective learning through practice of clinical decision making during immersive patient care management experiences Addresses challenges associated with limitations of traditional clinical settings Results in Improved outcomes through interactive / contextual application of information technology and patient care management
SIMULATION & THE A.E.S. PEDAGOGY DRIVES PRACTICE Step 1: Know the curriculum Step 2: Know the program outcomes Step 3: Know content experts Simulation AES Step 4: Objective driven scenario Step 5: Evaluate objectives using curriculum components and content experts
SIMULATION & THE A.E.S. PEDAGOGY DRIVES PRACTICE Early Introduction to the concept of information management as a part of the immersive patient simulation experiences establishes the foundation to develop clinical decision making skills.

All students interact with the AES system Prior to During And After Simulation Threading of concepts: Professional Accountability Evidence Based Practice Communication Caring Leadership Gerontology Vulnerability SIMULATION & THE A.E.S. PEDAGOGY DRIVES PRACTICE Hanberg, A.D., Madden, C. (2010). Techknowlogy: Using Multimodal Simulation Strategies to Bring Data Management and Patient Care Technologies To Life. Clinical Simulation in Nursing., In Press
Pre Scenario: Retrieve relevant historical patient data and orders from A.E.S. Active Scenario: Retrieve current data (i.e. Lab, X Ray) Apply decision support tools available within A.E.S. Interact with Medication Dispensing Unit being linked to A.E.S. Post Scenario: Input interventions that occurred during the experience Document outcomes and response
Next Steps 1: Program Evaluation in process 2: Finish integration into graduate nursing programs 3: Research
