The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted and transformed continuing education in the health professions to be reliant on digital learning modalities. This retrospective observational study of a large, international health system's continuing education programme compares educational activities offered, participation, and learning outcomes pre-and intra-pandemic to assess the impact of digitisation advanced because of the pandemic. There was a significant increase in internet-based activities that filled the gap of cancelled or postponed live, in-person activities to keep healthcare professionals up to date in their specialities and prepared to handle the clinical and hospital demands of the pandemic. Compared to live, in-person education, virtual activities were offered in shorter increments, reached a much larger amount of participants, and were equally effective in achieving learning outcomes. Questions remain regarding business model implications to generate adequate revenues to cover costs of virtual education. Additionally, there is a general inadequacy of digital learning environments to coalesce groups and meet social needs. Regardless, the efficiencies and effectiveness of digital modalities will be a primary method of teaching healthcare professionals going forward.

Background: A system-based Quality Improvement Education intervention (QIEi) was developed to improve disease management for T2D patients with/at-risk of CVD/CKD who may benefit from SGLT-2i/GLP-1RA. The QIEi aimed to improve competencies of PCPs, team collaboration and patient communications. Methods: The QIEi was deployed to PCPs at 2 sites from a USA integrated delivery system. Practice Assessments (PrA) and a pre-intervention EHR data review confirmed the gaps and guided QI team discussions. Team leaders designed webinars on best practices (recorded for later view), and the groups discussed cases, designed process improvements and communication strategies (EHR Smart phrases, clinical reinforcement materials explaining treatments, and enhanced After Visit Summary). Evaluation included PrA (pre=140; post=55), EHR data, smart phrase usage, and qualitative interviews (n=10). Results: PCPs’ comfort discussing treatment with patients increased (Table 1). Interviewees reported an increase in patient interface, confidence educating patients and team engagement. The QIEi led to system-based changes and sustained clinical reinforcement material adoption. Conclusion: A team based QIEi can result in effective design, pilot/adoption of patient materials/EHR tools, supporting patient conversations and fostering informed decisions.
