E-Patient Counseling Trial (E-PACO): Computer Based Education versus Nurse Counseling for Patients to Prepare for Colonoscopy
Published on: August 1, 2019
Abstract:
Continuing education is a professional fact of life. There are numerous reasons why health professionals continue their education: the knowledge explosion makes existing theory and practice obsolete; society is ever changing and becoming increasingly complex; professionals are required to improve the quality of services rendered because of increased demands for accountability; some individuals change roles (e.g., direct care provider to administrator) within a profession, or even change professions; and some professions (e.g., medicine, nursing) require documentation of participation for relicensure and/or recertification to practice. While there are compelling reasons for health professionals to continue their education, the state of economic affairs is such that both continuing education (CE) providers and participants must seek ways to avoid and/or reduce costs related to CE. This paper consists of a case study description of what one regional continuing education center has done to reduce costs without reducing services.
