Advanced (Delegate) Information Sharing eLearning Module
Some Victorian hospitals and health services have implemented a centralised model for responding to information sharing requests, which is usually referred to as a delegate or advanced delegate model. The aim of the advanced delegate model is to ensure that, in these large and complex organisations, information sharing requests are responded to expediently and appropriately, and that relevant staff are adequately trained and available to manage and respond to requests.
A project is underway to create an Advanced (Delegate) Information Sharing eLearning module to supplement the existing information sharing eLearn. This new module will utilise a case study-based learning approach to explore how an advanced delegate model can be used for both FVISS and CISS.
Course material is being developed by the Strengthening Hospital Responses to Family Violence (SHRFV) leadership team from the Royal Women’s Hospital and Bendigo Health, in partnership with Peninsula Health, the Royal Children’s Hospital and Barwon Health.
The script and story board are close to being finalised and the next step will be to contract an elearning design and development company to create the module.
Guidance on implementing an advanced delegate information sharing model will also be added to the Family Violence Information Sharing Scheme (FVISS) and Child Information Sharing Scheme (CISS) resources through a guide [PR(1] for hospitals and health services.
