Proprietary Educational Formats

This design engages learners by integrating the perspectives of actual patients, through video vignettes, with clinical content. The intent is to facilitate acquisition and integration of new skills and behaviors by including patients as faculty and allowing them to share their experiences. Focused on clinicians in community practice, Clinical Convergence® features encounters with 1 or 2 unique patients, engages them with patient data and insights, and challenges them with knowledge and competence-oriented questions followed by peer benchmarking and evidence-based explanations. Aspects of patient engagement and education are touched upon in the context of the management provided. RMEI is a jointly accredited, HIPAA verified, compliant organization.

Every patient has a story that extends far beyond their symptoms. That personal journey is at the very center of this educational design that merges storytelling with key clinical concepts and data to engage learners. This teaching modality leverages the principals of Narrative Medicine to instill learners with the competence to acknowledge, absorb, interpret, and act on the stories and plights of others to facilitate humane and effective medical practice. This educational design seamlessly interweaves the patient’s story with compelling visual representations of medical evidence to maximize learner retention and drive linkage to clinical practice. RMEI is a jointly accredited, HIPAA verified, compliant organization.

This educational format is designed to reduce delays in the transfer of clinical research to practice by disseminating critical analyses of recent and late-breaking clinical trial data from peer-reviewed publications and major medical conferences to busy clinicians. This design features a single clinical expert summarizing the latest clinical evidence and discussing its real-world implications on clinical practice. RMEI is a jointly accredited, HIPAA verified, compliant organization.

Faculty will refer to an established framework for shared decision making (SDM) in healthcare, designed by Elwyn and colleagues (Elwyn 2012) and published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine. This approach identifies preference-specific decisions in care and applies the following approach to effectively engage the patient in the decision-making process. The framework is taught to learners in the context of encounters with different patients, each in different stages of a particular disease continuum, requiring them to make management and communication decisions, each of which is followed by faculty feedback and peer benchmarking.

This teaching modality is focused on integrating best practices in SDM into clinical practice, especially as it relates to assessment and management in specific disease states.

The Clinical Exchanges® design encourages use of SDM and improves skills in utilizing SDM in practice through technical and practical guidance using video-based demonstration. RMEI is a jointly accredited, HIPAA verified, compliant organization.

This design utilizes HD video or video conferencing to showcase the insights from three (3) specialist faculty as they come together to resolve challenging patient cases submitted by community-based clinicians across the United States. These cases are solicited through a nationwide media campaign encompassing prior educational activities, podcast, internet radio, and HTML e-mails, and only a select few cases are chosen in each iteration. Others are archived for use in future research. Another key feature of this design is the inclusion of interactive questions that allow learners to engage with the cases and participate in management decisions.

This educational design provides an insightful, lively dialogue between experts and creates a meaningful connection between leaders in the field and those clinicians in busy community practice. Learners will gain privileged insights into the treatment strategies of medical experts, where each faculty provides opinions and suggestions to the selected patient challenge.

The activity format is designed to engage learners through various interactive exercises that reflect familiar practice-based processes.

This format will challenge their clinical decision-making skills through the presentation of various scenarios in which errors have occurred, opportunities missed, or suboptimal care provided, as they work through a sequence of patient challenges. RMEI is a jointly accredited, HIPAA verified, compliant organization.

There are 2 sides to every story!! This educational design combines key tenets of narrative medicine with the patient voice to convey clinically meaningful stories that inspire action, compassion, and commitment to change among learners in their daily medical practices. In this format a leading medical expert and a patient seamlessly alternate in sequence to share a clinical story from their own unique vantage points.

Key clinical evidence, diagnostic criteria, and other relevant medical content are strategically placed throughout the activity to emphasize critical teaching moments, maximize learner retention, and drive linkage to clinical practice. RMEI is a jointly accredited, HIPAA compliant organization.

This design features three (3) multidisciplinary or multispecialty clinical experts in a particular disease state along with one (1) patient living with the same disease. Collectively, these experts engage in an interactive panel discussion, augmented by slide presentations that provide evidence to support different aspects of the discussion, as well as audience polling questions that assess impact relative to the learning objectives. This design allows for a lively expert exchange that also involves the clinician learner directly.

Clinical faculty will incorporate patient case scenarios to demonstrate how their insights can be integrated into patient care. The patient highlights aspects of their own care process, with reference to key clinical points from the case scenarios and emphasis on capturing ‘teaching moments’ that demonstrate the differences between patient and provider perceptions of ideal patient care. Content includes discussion of patient engagement through shared decision making, encouraging clinicians to appropriately collaborate with patients. RMEI is a jointly accredited, HIPAA verified, compliant organization.

This design features three (3) clinical experts (specialists in a particular disease state) engaged in an immersive panel discussion, with intermittent slide presentations that provide evidence to support different aspects of the discussion, as well as audience polling questions related to the learning objectives for the meeting.

The panel can feature a mix of professional designations (eg, MD, PharmD, Nurse) or include faculty from the same profession, depending on the setting. A core design element is the emphasis on dialogue and discourse amongst faculty and between the faculty and audience, with significantly fewer slides presented. 
RMEI’s Clinical OlympicsSM design creates a gamified, team-oriented educational environment for live symposia, with a tongue-in-cheek competition for the “Healthiest Country”. Attendees will join 1 of 3 teams to compete in a series of clinical events, answering challenge questions on specific disease states via an iPad. Individual learners earn points for their chosen country by correctly answering questions during each event. After each event is completed, and at the conclusion of the overall symposium, a Team Leader Board appears on the big screens to show comparative scores across teams and a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal will be awarded to countries for each event and for the entire Clinical OlympicsSM.

Ready…Set….Learn!  It is a race to understanding in this educational design, which harnesses key fundamentals of microlearning to engage learners in an exciting, fast-paced, and interactive experience. During each segment, learners participate in a relay-type race comprised of a series of “Sprints” focused on discrete clinical concepts or medical evidence. Each “Sprint” concludes with a Challenge Question that provides an immediate assessment on how well learners assimilated the presented information. It also serves as a “Baton Pass” to enter subsequent “Sprints”, punctuated by transitional animations that reflect a successful Baton Pass or a misstep caused by an incorrect response. Learners repeat this process until they finish the final “Sprint” and answer the last Challenge Question to cross the finish line. This design features up to four (4) clinical experts discussing key aspects of patient care and/or interpreting key findings from recent clinical trials.
