DIM.RUHR: Interprofessional teaching of data competencies in outpatient care

DIM.RUHR

Abstract

The DIM.RUHR project addresses the growing need for enhanced data competencies among healthcare professionals in outpatient care and research. As the volume of data in healthcare increases, the varying levels of data literacy can compromise the quality of data management, from creation to utilization. DIM.RUHR, a data competence center in the Ruhr metropolis, develops high-quality teaching and learning modules tailored to specific target groups within the healthcare sector. The project aims to improve the handling of real-world data (RWD) by fostering comprehensive data literacy, ultimately leading to better healthcare outcomes through more effective data use. The modules cover fundamental concepts of data management, research data policies, ethical considerations, and practical skills in data acquisition, evaluation, and analysis. A Learning Objectives Matrix (LOM) guides the development of these educational resources, ensuring alignment with identified needs. Additionally, the project includes an open educational resources (OER) search to evaluate existing materials and identify content gaps, leading to the creation of tailored resources that address specific challenges faced by professionals. By establishing a robust data culture and providing structured training, DIM.RUHR seeks to empower healthcare professionals to navigate the complexities of data management, thereby enhancing the overall quality of care delivered in outpatient settings.

DIM.RUHR: Interprofessional teaching of data competencies in outpatient care Background Methods Discussion •Handling the increasing amount of data in healthcare research and care requires specialist knowledge and experience on the part of healthcare professionals •The varying and often inadequate data competencies across different settings can affect the quality of data creation, storage, processing, and use DIM.RUHR (Data competence center for the interprofessional use of health data in the Ruhr metropolis) addresses this by creating high-quality teaching and learning modules for specific target groups in the healthcare domain. By focusing on improving data competencies, the DIM.RUHR project aims to enhance the overall quality of RWD handling, contributing to better healthcare outcomes through more efficient and effective use of data.
