An Online Training Program to Improve Clinicians' Skills in Communicating About Serious Illness.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Large-scale efforts to train clinicians in serious-illness communication skills are needed, but 2 important gaps in knowledge remain. (1) No proven training method exists that can be readily scaled to train thousands of clinicians. (2) Though the value of interprofessional collaboration to support incapacitated patients' surrogates is increasingly recognized, few interventions for training intensive care unit (ICU) nurses in important communication skills can be leveraged to provide interprofessional family support.

Objective

To develop and test a web/videoconference-based platform to train nurses to communicate about serious illness.

Methods

A user-centered process was used to develop the intervention, including (1) iteratively engaging a stakeholder panel
