Enhancing Clinical Safety and Cancer Patient Experience Through Comprehensive eLearning on Central Venous Access Devices.

Health practitioners often insert and maintain central venous access devices (CVADs) as part of cancer care. One in four CVADs prematurely fail, which is associated with increased mortality, morbidity and a negative impact on quality of life. To support implementation of updated guidelines, eviQ Education developed a comprehensive, peer-reviewed, evidence-based CVADs eLearning package. An evaluation indicated that the eLearning supported clinicians' practice and increased knowledge and clinical competency in CVAD insertion and management.

Improving Accessibility of Continuing Professional Development for Oncology Health Professionals Through the EviQ Education App.

Oncology clinicians must participate in continuing professional development (CPD) to stay up to date with best practice. The Cancer Institute NSW eviQ Education program produces evidence-based, peer-reviewed eLearning resources for oncology professionals. In response to user feedback, eviQ Education trialled a mobile app, EdApp, to improve accessibility of self-directed CPD materials. Following a pilot, users indicated that the EdApp improved CPD accessibility and user experience. EdApp will continue to be used to support evidence-based practice.
