A provincial focus on immigration and improved foreign credential recognition has led to an investigation of best practices and subsequent recommendations for the development and implementation of a sustainable university-based bridging program for internationally educated dietitians in Atlantic Canada. Data were collected from various sources and used to inform program decisions and direction. An advisory framework was established through a core group representing dietetics education and regulation and internationalization. Subsequently, a key stakeholder group was formed. As a result of this collaboration and research, a dietetics bridging framework was developed and a program pilot tested. Lessons learned may inform similar endeavours and highlight the importance of collaborative leadership and collaboration among multiple stakeholders, and of creatively addressing program sustainability issues while keeping learners (internationally educated dietitians) at the centre.

Education Initiative

This is a case study about the Kansas Continuing Legal Education (CLE) Commission and its Education Initiative. As the regulator of CLE in the State of Kansas, the Commission ensures that quality course offerings are available for attorneys who are licensed within the state for use in meeting their annual mandatory continuing legal education (MCLE) requirements. The Commission's Education Initiative was focused on discovering current best practices in program development, delivery, and evaluation with the goal of improving the MCLE experience for Kansas attorneys and thus improving the practice of law. Findings from this effort point to innovative efforts currently underway, or aspired to, by providers to evaluate how MCLE disseminates new legal knowledge, increases attorney-to-attorney connections, encourages ethical behavior, and, ultimately, improves the practice of law.

Active Teaching

Creating an active teaching and learning community can be challenging but at Memorial University, a blended approach is proving to be effective. Through regular face-to-face group discussions, one-on-onecoaching sessions, and online sharing and support, anactive community of teachers and learners is being created in Process Engineering. This paper details a practical approach to engaging students and faculty in program development, encouraging dialogue about best-practices in teaching and learning, sharing resources, and providing support and mentorship.

The Impact

Abstract Background The AHRQ Safety Program for Improving Antibiotic Use aims to improve antibiotic (abx) use in acute, long-term, and outpatient care settings by enhancing abx stewardship programs (ASP) and engaging frontline providers to incorporate stewardship into daily abx decision-making, with an emphasis on viewing appropriate prescribing as a patient safety issue. We report on the impact of implementation of the Acute Care Safety Program on abx use and Clostridioides difficile in a cohort of US hospitals. Methods The Acute Care Safety Program was implemented from December 2017 to November 2018. At least one unit from each hospital participated. The Safety Program trained local ASP leaders and assisted ASPs and frontline staff to: (a) address attitudes and culture that pose challenges to judicious abx use and (b) incorporate best practices for the management of common infections into daily practice using the Four Moments of Antibiotic Decision Making framework (Figure 1). Education occurred via 17 live Webinars and an online toolkit that included recorded Webinars, narrated presentations, and other tools to assist with the development and dissemination of syndrome-specific local guidelines (Table 1). Units submitted days of abx therapy (DOT) per 1,000 patient-days (PD), C. difficile LabID events per 10,000 PD, and 10 review forms per month documenting structured discussions between the ASP and frontline staff about patients on abx. Linear and generalized linear mixed-effects models were employed to calculate pre-post intervention changes in abx use and C. difficile LabID events, respectively. Results 402 hospitals completed the Safety Program, including 28 (7%) academic medical centers (AMC), 289 (72%) community hospitals, and 85 (21%) critical access hospitals. 476 participating units consisted of 165 (35%) ICUs, 300 (63%) medical-surgical floors, and 11 (2%) other units. Both abx use and C. difficile LabID events decreased when comparing pre-post data (−41 DOT per 1,000 PD, [from 886.56, Figure 2], P = 0.001 and −1.2 LabID events per 10,000 PD [from 6.3], P = 0.027), respectively. Conclusion By targeting both improving abx prescribing culture and knowledge of best practices, the AHRQ Safety Program led to reductions in abx use across a diverse cohort of hospitals.
