Abstract：
Healthcare workers are under increasing pressure to use limited resources more efficiently and improve patient outcomes. Healthcare redesign, a quality improvement methodology derived from the automotive industry, is a proven means of achieving these goals. Continuing Professional Development (CPD) opportunities for nurses seeking to build their capacity for healthcare redesign often come in the form of university courses, which can be costly and prohibitively time-consuming. We developed a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) with a view to increasing the number of healthcare workers undertaking CPD in healthcare redesign and subsequently using these principles in their workplaces. The aim of the current study is to describe the development of our MOOC and its initial feedback from users. Materials and Methods: The theoretical and practical components of an existing postgraduate award course unit were made fit for purpose by being arranged into six weekly modules, before being transposed to an established learning management platform for MOOCs. Related quizzes, videos and interactive activities were then developed and included in each of these modules. Peer review of this content was completed by subject matter and teaching and learning experts prior to the MOOC being launched. Results: After running for nine months, 578 participants had enrolled in the MOOC, of whom 118 (20%) had followed through to completion. Participants were overwhelmingly from Australia (89%) and identified as female (78%). Preliminary feedback obtained from participants was positive, with 81% of respondents agreeing that they were satisfied with their experience, and 82% intending to apply their knowledge in practice. Conclusions: The MOOC has addressed a learning need by providing a brief and free form of education; learning from its development will help others seeking similar educational solutions. Initial feedback suggests the MOOC has been well-received and is likely to be translated into practice.
摘要：
医护人员面临越来越大的压力，要求更有效地利用有限的资源并改善患者的预后。医疗保健重新设计，一种源自汽车行业的质量改进方法，是实现这些目标的有效手段。护士寻求建立医疗保健重新设计能力的持续专业发展（CPD）机会通常以大学课程的形式出现，这可能是昂贵且非常耗时的。我们开发了大规模开放在线课程（MOOC），以期增加在医疗保健重新设计中进行CPD的医护人员的数量，并随后在其工作场所中使用这些原则。当前研究的目的是描述我们的MOOC的发展及其用户的初步反馈。材料和方法：现有的研究生奖励课程单元的理论和实践组成部分被安排为六个每周模块，在被转移到已经建立的MOOCs学习管理平台之前。相关的测验,然后开发了视频和互动活动，并将其包含在每个模块中。在MOOC启动之前，主题和教学专家完成了对该内容的同行评审。结果：运行9个月后，578名参与者参加了MOOC，其中118人(20%)已完成。参与者绝大多数来自澳大利亚（89％），被确定为女性（78％）。从参与者那里获得的初步反馈是积极的，81%的受访者同意他们对自己的经历感到满意，82%的人打算在实践中应用他们的知识。结论：MOOC通过提供简短而自由的教育形式来满足学习需求；从其发展中学习将帮助其他人寻求类似的教育解决方案。初步反馈表明，MOOC已广受好评，并有可能转化为实践。
