Get Ready: Preparing for Implementation of ePractice Assessment
Dr Fiona Work and Dr Karen Strickland
Gathering the evidence – making the case for change
Systematic review of the literature on mobile learning in clinical practice
Review objectives
• To examine primary research articles published between 2001- December 2014 focussed on issues for students and educators involved in assessment of practice learning using m-learning,
• To identify the benefits of m-learning tools in practice• To identify the challenges and issues
Results
• 1470 abstracts screened – 1371 excluded• 99 full text papers reviewed• 23 included in paper• Earliest study 2002, most after 2008• UK 7; US 7; Canada 4; Australia/NZ 3
Themes
• Information for healthcare practice• Knowledge and skill acquisition• Reflection on learning in practice
Challenges
• Permission to use (Saunders & Dearnley, 2009)• Concerns over security of patient & student data (Lindquist
et al, 2008; Applegate, 2010; Norman, 2011)• Risk of transmission of infection (Phyllips & Wyatt 2011)• Lack of skill bases/reluctance to accept (Norman 2011)• Time for users to ‘bond’ with their device (Saunders &
Dearnley (2009)
Technical challenges
• Battery life (Applegate, 2010)• Intermittent internet access • Screens too small (Scordo et al, 2003; Norman, 2011; Skiba, 2011)• Students with disabilities (Applegate, 2010; Saunders & Dearnley,
2009)• Damage/loss/theft of devices
Setting the scene in RGU
Ongoing Achievement Record (Scotland) and the School of Nursing and Midwifery eLearning Strategy
The RGU 2015 vision Student-centred benefits preparing practitioners for digital era
Personal tutor (PT) engagement whilst still on practice
NSS resultsclinical assessment feedback
Increase confidentiality and security yet reduce fraudulent activity
no more “left on the bus”
Analytics-NMC (2008) Standards
Increase timeliness, accessibility, consistency and quality of feedback (pedagogy)
Innovative, technologically enhanced learning
environments and secure experience
Access for students, staff, external markers, administrative staff, PTmentors, practice teachers and practice learning staff
Tablet or computerReasonable adjustments
Lean methodology
Electronic Clinical Assessment Tool (ECAT) Implementation plan and wider group
1. Practice learning to explore support in practice
2. Risk assessment to explore solution focussed approach to risk
3. Pre-registration (nursing and midwifery) to explore student experience
4. Post registration to explore student experience
5. Information technology to explore information governance, reasonable adjustments, SITS and InPlace development, etc.

Ready? Feedback and Feed forward
• Failure to prepare and prepare to fail• Literature searching• Firewall testing• Partners in Practice and practice educators act as gatekeepers- “buy in” (Permission to
use -Saunders & Dearnley, 2009)• DELTA, eLearning, ITNS, Disability services, Study support, students, HSE staff and peers
all matter and need to ‘feel’ engaged • Monthly multi-agency meetings with staged implementation plan• Risk assessment- identified lack of resources such as computers in wards
Ready? Feedback and Feed forward (cont’d)
• Digital literacy and fears (Lack of skill bases/reluctance to accept -Norman 2011)• “ increased my confidence with technology” “encouraged me to use online
banking now”• “why are we the guinea pigs” and “not enough PCs on wards”• Table top exercise • Browser issues –internet explorer 8 required for patient records• Helplines and emails• Storyline training guides and high quality training materials • Analytics and NMC (2008) standards
