  1. Public Health Application of the Experience API Nancy Gathany, PhD & Rhonda Willis, MBA OSELS/Educational Design and Accreditation Branch MedBiquitous Annual Meeting April 9, 2013 Office of Surveillance, Epidemiology, and Laboratory Services Scientific Education and Professional Development Program Office

  2. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Nation’s premier public health agency— working to ensure healthy people in a healthy world.

  3. Public Health Community All who work to protect and improve the public’s health • Behavioral scientists • Educators • Epidemiologists • Laboratorians • Nurses • Pharmacists • Physicians • Veterinarians

  4. Abundance of Training Sources Uncoordinated collections of training within CDC and throughout the public health community • State & Local health departments • Hospitals, clinics, physicians’ offices • Academia • Federal Agencies (HRSA, AHRQ, etc) • Non-profit organizations and foundations

  5. Part One of the Solution: CDC Learning Connection • 2010 - we created the CDC Learning Connection • Coordinate the delivery of CDC’s training for learners throughout the public health community • 2011 – Added an LMS, CDC TRAIN, a dynamic public health learning management system • Today – the Learning Connectionis a one-stop learning resourcethat provides free access toproducts developed for thepublic health community www.cdc.gov/learning

  6. CDC Learning Connection April Update for CDC LC Website CDC TRAIN Home page www.cdc.gov/learning

  7. Part Two of the Solution:Public Health Learning Data Store • GOALDevelop a central data store where learning management systems (LMSs) seamlessly share thousands of public health related training

  8. Steps to Constantly Revisit • Keep stakeholders engaged • Revisit policies and security requirements as technology evolves • Perfect how you communicate the concept

  9. Sequential Steps • Assess current resources and determine needs • Create implementation plan with input from experts • Conduct formative evaluation • Test the concept through peer review • Pilot test prototype • Secure funding • Initiate procurement process for required components

  10. Public HealthLearning Data Store

  11. Benefits • Make it easy to deliver training through a central data store connected to multiple LMSs • Learners can locate training across multiple LMSs • Developers can identify similar training content and reduce training redundancy • Store e-learning files • Track e-learning usage data

  12. Challenges • Funding • Staying on top of Operation and Maintenance • User Support • Similar to LMS • Abstract concept to convey

  13. We must determine ways to amplify every dollar in public health. --Harvey Fineberg, PhDPresident of the Institute of MedicineDecember 2012
