Medtronic Announces New, Outcome-Based Learning Program
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Introduces New Approach to Healthcare Education and Development Focused on
Outcomes That Matter to Patients
DUBLIN - Feb. 13, 2017 - Medtronic today announced the launch of Medtronic
Impact in its Europe, Middle East & Africa region, which is part of the
company's drive towards value-based healthcare (VBHC).
Medtronic Impact introduces an entirely new approach to healthcare education and
development, extending beyond traditional product and procedure training to
delivering learning based on outcomes that matter to patients. It will cover an
extensive range of topics to the entire spectrum of healthcare professionals
(HCPs), with the intent to reach more than 500,000 HCPs in the next five years.
The program will enable HCPs, at all levels, to grow their skills and knowledge
through specially-designed learning pathways, tailored to their level of
expertise and specialism. These multi-stage, learning pathways will cover a
broad range of topics and use a wide range of teaching methodologies to support
HCP development in an emerging world of VBHC.
"Medtronic Impact is a significant investment that sets an entirely new standard
for professional development in the medical technology industry," said Rob ten
Hoedt, executive vice president & president, Medtronic EMEA. "Its new,
extensive curriculum will not only equip HCPs to access training that is
relevant to their clinical skills development, but it will also build a wider
range of non-clinical capabilities as we move increasingly towards a VBHC
environment."
Medtronic Impact is also focused on developing a network of collaborations with
world-class healthcare institutions, where highly specialized training programs
will be developed and delivered. These connections are critical to enabling HCPs
and Medtronic to meet the ambition of learning that is aligned with a focus on
outcomes.
The emerging network so far includes:
* Barcelona Campus, Catalonia, Spain
* IRCAD, Strasbourg, France
* Sunskill Laboratory, Stellenbosch University, South Africa
* Dundee Institute for Healthcare Simulation, University of Dundee, Scotland
Mike Roby, senior director, Learning & Innovation at Medtronic said:
"Collaborations with world-class healthcare institutions will enable us to
radically transform how we design and deliver training and education. We firmly
believe that the collective efforts of the network we're cultivating will create
more value and positively impact outcomes that matter to patients."
Medtronic Impact is committed to incorporating newly-developed, online immersive
education experiences that complement Medtronic's portfolio of industry-leading,
face-to-face sessions. It will introduce a personalized web portal enabling
healthcare professionals to access their own, individual career-based learning
pathways.
This platform will also be coupled with innovative technologies such as virtual
classrooms, augmented reality, and remote case observation capability to ensure
the richest blended learning experience.
Medtronic Impact is a multi-year program that will begin roll out during 2017.
