An Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Decision Support Tool Predicts Drug Specific Remission and Improves Provider Mastery in Treatment Selection

The CDST is unique among point-of-care tools in that it provides differential predictions for endoscopic remission with vedolizumab, adalimumab, and tofacitinib. This tool, which has the potential to improve patient outcomes, was supported and disseminated via web-based education. Findings from data collected during the 3 successive years of programming to-date revealed a significant increase in clinical mastery. Ultimately, clinicians engaged with this patient population who have participated in the education are more likely to use the tool regularly and correctly, as well as disseminating it amongst their colleagues.​

Multi-Year Education Facilitated the Clinical Implementation of a Novel Point-of-Care Tool

The third installment of the US IBD Health Outcomes Consortium (HOC) initiative built upon insights gained from Phases I & II and was designed to empower gastroenterology clinicians to utilize the Clinical Decision Support Tool (CDST, a Web-based, interactive point-of-care tool accessible from any device, which provides guidance on optimal treatment selection based on prognostic and predictive modeling), in clinical practice. While Phases I & II focused on explanation of what the tool is and how to use it, Phase III the central goal was to enable clinicians to leverage that learning to use this novel tool in their clinical practice. Following their participation in the most recent education, 100% of gastroenterologists reported intent to use the tool (82% of whom reported they would not use the tool at Pre-Test).

How Education Facilitated Uptake of a Novel Point of Care Decision Aid in IBD: The IBD Clinical Decision Support Tool

There has been a progressive increase in the frequency of CDST usage between October 2019 and August 2023. 30,172 patient scenarios have been input into the IBD CDST to date. ​Serial education facilitated the real time observation of increases in clinician empowerment via course content adapted to meet demonstrated need.​ In real terms, learners pivoted their demonstrated mastery (243% overall improvement in correctness and confidence in their correctness) into substantially increased usage of the tool and by extension improved clinical efficacy. As of the last survey clinicians demonstrable appreciation of the value of the tool is their organic peer to peer dissemination of the IBD CDST.

Effectiveness of 5-year IBD Provider Online Educational Intervention Program

There is considerable practice variability among providers caring for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. Limited data exists on the effectiveness of educational interventions targeting IBD providers to address these gaps. We report outcomes for a 5-year provider education training program which culminated in an enduring online education resource and clinical decision support tool.

4 Years, 16 Live & Online Activities, 6000+ Clinicians: What we’ve learned so far

RMEI has released pairings of live and online programs approximately twice per year since 2016 grouped into “phases” which share clinical areas of focus and are based on findings from the previous phase of education. In total, 16 activities have launched to date with 4 activities currently live. The purpose of this analysis is to better understand the impact of multi-year iterative education on a clinical audience. Research with Preliminary Data – research projects that have collected data and are in the process of analyzing that data against the project’s hypothesis or objectives.

Iterative Data-Driven Education for Evolving Strategies of Care in cSCC

The incidence of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is growing in the United States and epidemiologic data are likely to have underestimated the burden of the disease. New therapies are emerging for the management of advanced/unresectable cSCC that have the potential to alter outcomes. Clinicians need to be made aware of these new options and how they can be integrated into clinical practice. Dermatologists and Mohs surgeons will need to identify patients who are not surgical candidates and engage a multidisciplinary team to discuss systemic options, such as immunotherapy and optimal management approaches. To address the challenges facing clinicians in the appropriate alignment of treatment to patient, a 3-activity curriculum was developed. This curriculum was hosted online for one year, and findings from this education will be used to develop future content.

When the Patient Voice is Heard in Education, Does the Clinician Listen?

In recent years, the U.S. healthcare system has moved to adopt new models of care that focus on personalized medicine and patient centricity. It follows that the education developed for healthcare professionals must meaningfully empower them with insights for more effective patient engagement and facilitate patient activation. The challenge is, and has been, to meaningfully represent the patient “voice” or their real-world care experiences in content developed by non-patient faculty.

Proficiency Results From Your Peers at EULAR 2018 and Beyond

Beginning in 2016, RMEI created multiple accredited online educational programs focused on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and designed for rheumatologists. The 2019 EULAR symposium was a unique opportunity to present the outcomes findings, from both the 2018 symposium and online courses, to the assembled rheumatologists within the context of addressing factors underlying ongoing educational gaps.
