ArcheMedX, a healthcare informatics and e‐learning technology company, in collaboration with Elsevier's Office of Continuing Medical Education (EOCME) and AcademicCME, has announced the launch of two innovative continuing medical education (CME) programs powered by the ArcheViewer, a data-driven, e-learning architecture. These new educational programs deliver a more interactive learning experience around recent science, clinical trial data, and best practices when creating individualised treatment plans for patients diagnosed with Overactive Bladder Disease or Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.
The launch of these educational series by AcademicCME, ArcheMedX, and Elsevier, follows the success of their first collaboration, "Improving Patient Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis". Since launching in September 2013, this innovative e-learning initiative continues to demonstrate meaningful and significant improvement in learning and competence among the clinicians who participate in the four-part mini-curriculum.
According to learning outcomes data released earlier this year, paired analysis of pre- and post-lesson assessment data shows that learners participating in the Multiple Sclerosis education consistently and repeatedly improved learning, competency, and performance including a 68% increase in knowledge change between their pre-test and the first time they attempted their post-test.
Clinicians who participate in either educational series will engage in content developed by world-class faculty and leverage a structured set of learning tools (powered by the ArcheViewer) that enable each learner to archive relevant lessons to their personal 'learning stream'; take and synchronize notes at any moment during the lesson; set critical reminders that prompt the learners to reflect and apply what they have learned over time; search through and review resources (i.e., articles, studies, tools) selected by faculty; and submit questions directly to faculty.
Access to these two new initiatives, 'Emerging Science and Therapies in Lung Cancers' (for Oncologists) and 'Strategies to Improve Outcomes in Patients with Overactive Bladder' (for Primary Care Physicians and Urologists) is now available for Elsevier's registered learners.
