Purpose:
Business Objectives (if applicable):
Develop a sustainable, self-paced, asynchronous, patient education program that allows for the patient population of the client (a private clinical practice group with multiple medical specialties) to access reliable, physician-vetted educational modules that will reinforce conversations they had with their doctor at the time of diagnosis that may have been challenging to store in long term memory as a result of the emotional response to the discovery of their condition.
•
Better patient outcomes result in better reimbursement rates for the practice. o
Reimbursement rates for physician time spent providing patient education are limited, both in the amount of time they account for and the amount of compensation offered for the time the provider spends explaining the details of a patient's diagnosis.
o
Many publicly available online resources can often cause patients or their family members extreme distress due to misunderstanding the risk of medication side effects, the potential progression of their diagnosis, or incorrect assumptions about the actual diagnosis for a given patient.
The resulting time spent with repeat office visits, phone calls from patients, patient messages in the electronic medical record, or the emotional and traumatic experiences of some patients as their family members lead them on a wild goose chase on WebMD can cost healthcare providers time and resources that are extremely limited in many instances. For a small private practice, just a handful of patients placing calls to the clinic repeatedly to seek reassurance that the diagnosis they have spun from thin air by spending a paranoia-fueled afternoon scrolling through medical information on the internet can upend the schedule of a clinic full of providers very quickly. •
Providing credible, informative, and accessible patient education resources can address concerns that might lead to disruptive and unnecessary uncompensated care demands falling upon clinic staff.

Assumptions: (things that are believed to be accurate, such as the availability of resources and access to facilities) •
Learner/Patient Personas will balance the necessity of specificity with the constraints of providing intervention promptly rather than attempting to create thousands of modules that would provide a more granular patient education experience (and cost exponentially more to develop). o Much of the value of patient education is a function of the specificity of the information to the circumstances of the individual patient's diagnosis. o Each module will be based on a particular Learner/Patient Persona with a moderately specific diagnosis/symptom profile to provide as much detail of relevance as possible without attempting to create an entirely personalized patient education intervention.

•
Provider availability: Part of the need for the intervention under development is to free up providers from the overwhelming volume of calls and electronic patient messages through the electronic medical record system requesting patient education counseling more than the amount of instruction covered by the insurer of the patient's care (whether Medicaid, Medicare, Private Insurance, etc.). o Suppose the development of the intervention becomes burdensome to the provider. In that case, the project sponsor will potentially halt the project to manage the limited resource of provider time for providing patient education. While this investment will pay dividends into the future, the client is particularly aware of the potential for burnout among medical providers after extended high-stress periods during the pandemic, and the long-term benefits may become insufficient to justify the short-term impact on provider mental health, morale, and its corresponding impact to patient care.
External Dependencies: (project success dependencies such as coordination of efforts with other teams) • Potential disruptions in the form of Increased clinical responsibilities for providers from the practice assisting with the project in the event increasing numbers of COVID-19 patients change the availability of the staff assigned to assist with the project.
Initial Proposal When patients are first informed of a new chronic diagnosis, it can be an overwhelming experience between whatever symptoms brought them to seek care initially, the emotional toll of the discovery, and the emotional reaction of friends and family. Physicians are often hurried in their visits to see more patients waiting for their care. This creates a scenario where the patient may not have considered any questions they should raise with their doctor, or if the cognitive load of the experience was excessive, they may have little to no recollection of what the doctor even told them about their condition or how they can best participate in their recovery. To enable the patient to access sound information about their situation at their own pace and when they are ready to cognitively engage with the knowledge, a medical practice has requested assistance in developing a patient education intervention for the different chronic conditions they treat among their patient population. Depending upon the diagnosis and individual details of a case, the physician will be able to assign the modules to their patients after an initial diagnosis to provide relevant and accurate information in cognitively manageable portions to help provide alternatives to calling the physician for Content Creation Guide | SME and Sponsor Approved Not for external use.

information and to deter any inclination to explore WebMD for details that would confuse or unnecessarily distress the patient or their family members.

Project Goals: Instructional / Patient Care Goals: To improve patient outcomes by providing patient education options that are self-paced, asynchronous, and will not necessitate ongoing additional healthcare provider time commitment to facilitate. The subordinate goals are to increase learner’s medication compliance and improve patient confidence in their ability to actively participate in the management of their condition. Organizational / Practice Goals: In addition to positive outcomes for patients as outlined above, the intervention will also improve clinical operations by reducing incoming phone calls and messages regarding patient inquiries regarding their care. The aggregate impact of improved medication compliance will be reduced admissions for severe seizure activity and reduced instances of seizure generally.

Prior Knowledge/Experience
Epilepsy Patients seeing Dr. Horton at the DRNC Partners Clinic by referral after having just suffered their first ever seizure. (Generalized Patient Profile data provided by Client)
The learners being provided with access to this course will come from a diverse range of cultural, socioeconomic, and educational backgrounds. The intervention must clearly define any terms used that are specific to the condition and provide multiple perspectives or examples of how to relate the diagnosis of epilepsy to more commonly understood scenarios that will be easily comprehended. The learners will have been provided an explanation of their condition when first receiving their diagnosis, but the emotional toll or recent symptoms of their condition often make retaining the information from that conversation challenging. This intervention will act as a retrieval exercise and a review of the relevant information.

Implications on Design retention. Retrieval, additional resources, and authentic simulations will aid in achieving these results.
Cognitive/Physical Abilities
Due to privacy regulations, we are unable to obtain specific data about the learner/patient population. (General Summary of Patient Profile provided by client.)
The Client/SME has advised that the patients who will be provided with this learning intervention will be at least 16 years of age and have no known cognitive impairments from their seizure condition.
Work Environment
The majority of users will most likely complete the course using a mobile device. (Patient Surveys provided by client.)
The intervention needs to be designed for multiple browser types so that desktop or mobile devices will be able to present the material in a functional and aesthetically appealing manner.
Physical Setup
Mobile device, laptop or desktop computer in a home office, at school during a study break, or while commuting (as a passenger). (Patient Survey)
Module should include a prompt for the learner to find a quiet location to complete the module. Close a door, put in headphones that are noise cancelling, or otherwise indicate to others in their environment that they will need some time uninterrupted in order to complete the module.
Tools and Resources
Medication Reminder App and links to relevant information. (Epilepsy Foundation).
Resources should be used and drawn upon during the intervention in order to begin the habits of turning to these resources in times of need or when questions arise.

Locus of Control
Patients will have no control over whether they will have received their diagnosis, but by participating in the intervention they will be able to gain the knowledge and skills to participate in their treatment and regain some sense of control over the terms under which they will face their diagnosis. (SME interview, literature review.)
Emphasize agency at every opportunity, especially about medication compliance.
Learning Objectives and Task Analysis: Terminal Objective: Patients who complete the intervention will be able to describe the condition they have been diagnosed with and construct a plan for how they can participate in the management of their care. These objectives consist of declarative and procedural knowledge, whereby verbal information will be synthesized in the context of their diagnosis to enable the learner to develop the attitude and cognitive strategies to properly manage their care.
Enabling Objectives and Tasks: 1.1 - Given examples and non-examples of descriptions of epileptic symptoms, the learner will be able to accurately identify the type of seizure from among the descriptions presented. 1.2 - Given examples and non-examples of medications used to treat seizure disorders, the learner will be able to accurately identify the medications prescribed for their condition from among the listed medications. 1.3 - Given a scenario where the patient must navigate through several situations where they must make choices about how to proceed with daily activities, the learner will be able to correctly choose the options which will reduce the likelihood of their scenario-persona experiencing a seizure.

tonic-clonic seizure. They can help stop the seizure or prevent more from happening. Your doctor will tell you when and how to use them. - Diet: Some people with epilepsy may benefit from a special diet that can reduce seizures. This diet is high in fat and low in carbohydrates. It is not for everyone, so talk to your doctor before trying it. - Devices: Some devices can help control seizures by stimulating the brain or the nerves. They are implanted under the skin and send electrical signals to stop or reduce seizures. They are used for people who do not respond well to medicines.
These are some of the ways to treat seizures, but there may be others. Always consult your doctor before making any changes to your treatment plan.’ -SpacerRise Interaction / Process / Step Order

Summative Assessment: Scenario Based Learning Exercise This exercise is a branching scenario that walks the learner through a day in the life of another patient who was also recently diagnosed with GTCS and prompts them to make decisions based on the lessons they just completed and provides feedback as to whether or not their choices would reduce or increase the risk of Maria experiencing another seizure.

Additional Developer Notes Things to Remember: Sustainability is crucial in the design of this intervention at every level. Whether by using modular components for video, text, or eLearning content the project budget includes resources for making certain that the final deliverables will all maximize the interoperability of the components in order to minimize the time required to create subsequent courses across the four medical specialties in the practice. The tone of the intervention should be empowering while also aware of the limitations of current treatments to fully control the symptoms of all seizure patients. With diligence in following their medication regiment instructions, and any other instructions from their physician – the patient is creating the most optimal conditions for their having minimal seizure activity for their particular diagnosis. The client should be presented as a reliable resource, a guide to help the patient navigate a confusing and distressing experience that can bring tremendous changes to the patient’s life and the lives of their families. This intervention is learner/patient centered, and aims to equip the patient with the knowledge they need to be as active a participant in their care as possible. Also, while perfect recall of the details of every word we capture in the multimedia assets of this program, the more realistic and optimal outcome is for the patient to learn where they should and where they should not go to look for information about their condition. Misinformation in the guise of science is a major contributor to the performance challenges observed in the performance assessment of the practice.

Subject Matter Expert Feedback and Resource Links Based on SME Feedback we have submitted and obtained approval for a project scope change request. Feedback:
“The particular symptoms of epilepsy patients generally are so varied that we can’t realistically cover all of the variance that a patient will potentially have within one course of this nature.”
Design Implication and Revisions Implemented: • • • • •
Modules will need to be much more diagnosis-specific than a broad category for epilepsy – and any other condition that will eventually be included in the program once completed. Many modules will significantly overlap features and content. Rather than obtaining redundant audio or video for the intervention with each diagnosis, we will develop modular sections of content that will be reusable across the entire range of courses. Update Storyboards and Learning Objectives to reflect the new course focus – Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizures (GTCS). All Storyboards, Scripts for Content, and file storage structures will reflect the same coding system for identifying and implementing the modular content structure. Write Scripts Coded for Modular Assembly from existing Audio or Video Assets with editing instructions. Example: EST SHT {DRNC Practice Aerial View.mp4} F/O | F/I {Horton_Intro.mp4} | {GTCS.mp4} | {Medication_Compliance.mp4} F/O Transcripts of the modular content will be included in an index stored in SharePoint with the content archive to integrate any additional scripting needed into the text from the stored content. File Name Medication_Compliance.mp4
Script Tag Content Script / Transcript {Medication_Compliance} Audio or Footage of Dr. Horton speaking as follows “Lorem ipsum….”
Modules of Content will be stored by their applicability, General for Items which could apply to any medical condition, the remainder will be stored by the subspecialty that they apply to with diagnosis specific sub-folders as needed depending on volume of modular components.
