Some 40 Targets for Health have been identified by the WHO and adopted by the EU for achievement by the year 2000. Achievement will require a trained workforce operating to high quality standards. This project is for a feasibility study to explore the possible use of multimedia telematics in the training of health and social care workers to assist the development of improved standards to which the workforce is trained.
OBJECTIVE: to assist those responsible for education and training of the healthcare work force to clearly identify skills and competencies required and provide resource training materials which would be relevant across EU member States. OUTCOME: the project envisages the creation of a european multimedia "bank" of case studies illustrating skills, knowledge and competency required from those working in healthcare. Using interactive multimedia technology each video case study would offer continuous analysis of functional skills including knowledge requirements, competency outcomes and considerations such as an awareness of humanity and respect for cultural sensitivities. FUNCTIONS: the concept of a european "bank" of multimedia case studies will provide
