Clinical supervision and education via videoconference: a feasibility project

Abstract: Clinical supervision and education was provided to a total of 20 psycho-oncology staff by videoconference. Monthly group sessions, with 3-5 participants, were held via multipoint videoconference at a bandwidth of 256 kbit/s. Sessions consisted of a one-hour educational presentation followed by one-hour of case discussion. In addition, participants were offered individual telephone supervision each month. Participants completed evaluations before and after the project, and following each group session. They wer… Show more

“…This finding is similar to reported studies on the use of videoconferencing in psychiatry education which reported favorable evaluation of content and quality of videoconference based education for psychiatry. 23,24,[36][37][38] There were small nonsignificant drops in satisfaction with videoconferencing in the subsequent paired evaluations. These can be ascribed to the normal adjustment to videoconference teaching, the lack of technical support at the distant sites, and inexperience of presenters (both staff and registrars) in facilitating discussion at multiple sites.…”

“…9 Videoconference-based education for psychiatry registrars at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa Videoconference-based education is an integral component in many telehealth services in countries such as Australia 10 and include activities such as journal clubs, ward rounds, continuing and formal medical education. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] Studies evaluating these activities have reported general satisfaction with the use of videoconferencing and no difference in educational outcomes compared to traditional face to face teaching. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] The Nelson R Mandela School of Medicine at the University of KwaZulu-Natal has increased the psychiatry registrar posts three-fold over the last three decades.…”

“…When interventions were delivered remotely utilising technology, the following elements were identified that related to successful outcomes: flexibility in the timing of delivery [15,48,59,66]; adequate preparation for technology to work [56], such as an orientation to the technology and online learning approach [41]; external support and coordination (including organisation of technology and participants, and development or organisation of the content of sessions) [14,36,41,46,55,56,68,71-73]; ease of use of technology (including adequate connection speeds) [15,41,42,52,55,56,59,62],[66,71,73,74]; correct use of technology and ability to use technology [41,45,46,52,62,71,73]; confidential transmission of patient details, information and case histories [41,45,66,68,72]; and willingness of participants to undertake self-directed learning [42,59,62]. These elements related to success factors including the sustainability of the programme, participation rates and participant satisfaction levels.…”

“…It would be considered best practice for the most experienced staff member to take the lead in decision making in relation to patient care. However, the transfer of knowledge in appropriate learning scenarios through VC is expected to result in an improvement in XO awareness of acceptable image quality and, consequently, enable them to make more appropriate independent decisions 14, 15…”
