Course - Request a new course

If you are interested in developing a new course, you can submit an online request. 

  1. Application: Anyone wishing to produce new courses for healthLearn must complete the new course application form which will then be submitted to the healthLearn Operational Group. Enquiries on the application process can be made to admin@healthlearn.ac.nz
  2. Construction: Once a new course has been approved, a designated support person or lead course developer is assigned to work with the requestor, following the designated process. This may involve, storyboarding, key questions and ongoing prototyping and discussion between the support person and requestor. This may not be necessary in all cases.
  3. Review: Once the course has been constructed, before going live, the course is reviewed by members of the operational group. Depending on the size and scope of the course, User Acceptance Testing (UAT) will be carried out to ensure it is fit for purpose and meets the learning objectives of the course.
  4. Go Live: After the course has been reviewed and passed the UAT, the course will be made live and supported with clear communications and instructions on how to access the course.
  5. Ongoing Review: Twelve months after a course has gone live, it will be reviewed and may need to be updated, removed or left alone as appropriate, with an intension to be reviewed every 12 months after.
  6. Existing Courses: For existing courses (ie online courses shared by another organisation) being added to healthLearn, the existing course application form be submitted and that steps 1 through to 5 be followed, without the need for the construction phase as outlined in  step 2.

Course Content Creation Toolkit

The content creation toolkit outlines how content is developed and maintained in the healthLearn LMS

What is a toolkit?

A toolkit (or style manual) is a formal set of standards used for the writing, structure and layout of courses and content on healthLearn.The purpose of this toolkit is to provide uniformity in layout and style in formatting a course. 

When constructing a course, or building content in healthLearn, it is important to ensure that your work aligns to the healthLearn style guide, so that users of your course can locate essential information easily, and that all areas of your course are familiar and easier to use.

The information is presented in three sections.

  1.  E-Learning approval process  (how to start the process to get your course online)
  2. Content Development (how to develop online learning)  
  3. Making it live (how to get course set up and live on a course/programme page)
  4. Face to face E Learning Approval 

 

Click HERE to view the course content toolkit

Course Naming and Code Conventions

Courses have a strict naming convention

(Main topic) (Sub topic) (Other descriptor)

This means that a course would be named as follows

Blood Administration – An Introduction (instead of “an introduction to blood administration”)

Cannulation – Peripheral Insertion Workshop (instead of “workshop to insert a peripheral cannula”)

Course Codes

To assist with organising and searching for specific courses, we have adopted the following course code naming convention.

(Main Course Location – 2 letters) (Course primary sub-type – 2 letters) (Numerical Code – 3 numbers)

Courses - Repeating

There are some courses in healthLearn which can be repeated. Below is a list of these courses - and the timeframes that they can be completed.

There are two ways a course can be repeated. 

  1. Certification - The course does not change, however your results from a previous attempt are cleared at a set timeframe, which then allows you to access the course and complete it again. Records of each certification are displayed in your Record of Learning (Certifications)
  2. Repeating Course - The course is set to duplicate itself at a set time period. The course copies itself automatically, and then archives the old course. This means that it is a new course and will be recorded as another course in your record of learning. You will not be able to access the old course however once the course is duplicated.

 

Certifications

5 Moments of Hand Hygiene - RGIC001 Yearly

Acute Stroke Swallow Screen - CAMS001 Yearly

Central Venous Access Device Implanted Endorsement (Level 2 IV) 3 Yearly

Central Venous Access Device Non-Implanted Endorsement (Level 2 IV) 3 Yearly

As an educator, you will have the ability to book staff in your area into face to face training - or cancel them from the session.

When booking staff into a face-to-face session please ensure that the staff member will be - or has completed any required learning or activities for the face to face session. It is your responsibility to ensure that this is done - as manually booking someone into a session overrides any blocks, or pre-course requirements to enroll into a face to face session, but these requirements may still need to be completed to attend the session. If the requirements are not completed - your staff member may be turned away and not be permitted to attend the session.

On your educator dashboard - there will be a Face to Face block. It includes;

  • Your bookings (your personal face to face bookings)
  • Upcoming Sessions (can be filtered by date)

  3. At the bottom of the Attendees list is a drop down menu - click on this and select Add/Remove Attendees
  4. To add - on the right hand side - search for the staff member name, select the name in the displayed list and then click on the <| Add button to add them to the Attendees list
  5. To remove - on the left hand side - search for the staff members name and/or select from the displayed list on the LEFT and then click the |> Remove button to remove them from the Attendees list

Educator Viewing of Workshop Requests or Waitlisting

As an educator, you will have the ability to view requests and waitlists for a face-to-face education session - for your areas.

There are a few things to initially set this up. Please follow the instructions below.

The first step is to create a 'Job Assignment' for each of the workplaces that you cover. You need to link your profile to each workplace.

e.g. if you as an educator work for your Director of Nursing department - you will have already selected "Director of Nursing" as your main organisation - or workplace location. As an educator you could be supporting staff in the following clinical areas

      • Ward 1
      • Ward 2
      • Ward 3
      • Outpatients 4

To see the education requests - you will need to create a separate job assignment for each of the clinical areas. 


To do this

  1. Go to your profile - or the My Details Block/Box 
  2. Click 'create a new job assignment  - Ensure that you give the Job Assignment a relevant name i.e. Ward 1, Ward 2, Ward 3, Outpatients 4
  3. In this section - select one of the organisations in the areas that you cover. You will also have to enter a job assignment number (i.e. 2, 3 or 4). You do not need to add a Manager or Position. Save the job assignment
  4. Continue to create job assignments for each of the clinical areas that you are responsible for.
  5. If you move to a different location, or your clinical areas change, you can create - and delete Job Assignments which will remove the link to that clinical area.

Please note - only create job assignments for areas that you are responsible for. The healthLearn Administration team is able to Audit the areas that you have selected


A list of staff awaiting approval from Managers - or waitlisted in your selected areas will now be displayed in a block/box on your dashboard.

Entonox - If you are required to sign off an Entonox practical assessment

To be given the rights to sign off an Entonox Practical Assessment - as part of the Entonox Self Learning Package, you need to email admin@healthlearn.ac.nz and ask to be added into the Assessors - Entonox Audience.

Please note you may need to supply evidence to support your need to have the right to do this as part of your role (ie a supporting email from your line manager would be sufficient)

Forum Rules and Guidelines

 

Preamble

The use of any of healthLearn forum constitutes acceptance and agreement to our Forum Code of Conduct. If you violate the Code of Conduct, we reserve the right to suspend all accounts belonging to you without prior notice. We prefer to advise users of inappropriate behaviour, however, flagrant and repeated violations of our Code of Conduct will result in immediate account suspension. Our failure to enforce this policy, for whatever reason, shall not be construed as a waiver of our right to do so at any time.

 

Principle Guidelines

We created the Code of Conduct to provide a basic understanding of what's allowed and not allowed in our forums. The following are the principle guidelines for the establishment and enforcement of our Code of Conduct:

  • Ensure a friendly atmosphere to our visitors and forum members
  • Ensure the privacy of our members and that of others
  • Comply with existing laws
  • Encourage responsible use of our forums and discourage activities which disrupt our community and reduce the value of our services to our users
  • Encourage the freedom of expression and exchange of information in a mature and responsible manner

 

What about free-speech?

While we are committed to the principles of free speech, certain activities may be damaging to the resources of both healthLearn and our communities and cannot be permitted under the guise of free speech. The resources of healthLearn are limited, and abuse of these resources by one user has a negative impact on the entire community.

As a member of our forum community, you must participate responsibly. If you have any questions regarding our Code of Conduct, please contact any of our forum moderators, or the healthLearn administrators via email.

 

Violations of the Code of Conduct

It is extremely important for you to understand that this section of our Code of Conduct isn’t designed to cover everything. We may take action — issue a warning, suspend your account(s) and/or IP addresses, lower your post count, delete/edit your post(s)/thread(s), etc. — if your conduct at healthLearn is counterproductive to the Code of Conduct’s principle guidelines.

Users are responsible for the security of their healthLearn accounts. Users may not share their passwords or transfer – via any means – their accounts to others without the express permission of the healthLearn Administration Team. In addition, users are responsible for all activity made by them or anyone the user allows to use their account.

 

Ad Hominem

Ad Hominem comments/personal attacks towards anyone - staff, forum member, or a visitor who is likely to view it on the forums - is subject to the message being deleted and action taken against the user, regardless of how pertinent or thoughtful the rest of the message might be.

 

Spamming

Unless a thread or forum is designated as an area ok for spamming, you may not spam. Spam includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  • Excessive off-topic threads
  • Posting nonsensical messages
  • “Flooding” the forum with similar meaning messages
  • Post-Count farming
  • Inciting a forum war or riot
  • Outwar-style links
  • Blatant advertising
  • Messages without content

Advertising

Please note that our forums aren’t the place to advertise your own sites, business or forums. You are welcome to link your site in your signature without a slogan.

 

Any forum member who seems to have created their account solely to promote another site will be permanently suspended.

 

Pirated Materials, Cracks, Keys, and Key-Generators

“Piracy” is the illegal copying and/or distribution of copyrighted content including, but not limited to, games, software, music, movies, pictures, ROMs, abandon-ware, and leaked software. “Cracks” are programs that disable copy-protection technology; a “Key” is a combination of numbers and letters that is required for software installation and sometimes used to validate users for online play; and “Key-Generators” are programs that generate valid Keys.

 

You may not encourage, post in support of, link to, or discuss activities, methods, and/or techniques involving piracy, cracks, keys and key-generators. In addition, the following are grounds for moderator action on your post and/or account:

  • Seeking help to create cracks and key-generators
  • Seeking missing files that are supplied with installation CD(s)
  • Admitting to possess pirated materials, cracks, and key-generators
  • Admitting to distribute pirated materials, cracks, keys and key-generators
  • Admitting to the use of cracks and key-generators
  • Uploading any such files to healthLearn

Generally breaking this rule will result in an instant suspension of your account. However you may be given a warning for a first offence if, in our opinion, you are a new user who doesn’t understand why this is such a strict rule – this will be explained to you; any subsequent offences will result in a permanent ban.

 

Forgery or impersonation

Attempting to impersonate any person, including staff, using forged headers, instant messenger names in an effort to deceive or mislead is prohibited.

 

Profanities

You may not use profanity or bypass the software-based censor. In addition to words included in the censor list, sexual remarks and slang may be considered profane when used in certain contexts.

A word about what is considered to be bypassing the software-based censor: Anything done to avoid the default *'s provided by the censor is considered to be a bypass of the censor. For example, if the word “angle” was in the censor (it is not), then all of the following are considered a bypass of the censor and thus in violation of the Code of Conduct:

  • A****
  • ang1e, angl3
  • anglë, añgle
  • a n g l e
  • [i]A[/i][i]n[/i]gle
  • a<!-- a -->ngle

Harassment

You may not use terms or audio/visual materials referring to ethnic/national origin, ideological/religious beliefs, gender, or sexual preference in a demeaning context.

We have no tolerance for discrimination. You are in violation of this rule if the nature of your post discriminates, promotes hate, promotes violence or advocates hatred or discrimination against individuals, groups, races, cultures or organizations because of their ethnic/national origin, skin colour or culture.

 

Derogatory Terms

If you use any terms in an offensive context against a person, race, culture, group or organization, as determined by our moderators, you are in violation of this rule.

Please note that words carry different meanings in different cultures, and that while a word may be acceptable use in one part of the world, it may not be in another. In addition, anyone can invent their own derogatory terms, unfortunately. Because of those factors, we will evaluate the context in which the term was used to determine whether a violation has occurred.

 

Porn/Sexually Offensive Materials

You may not post or link to pornography or sexually offensive materials.

 

Offensive Images / Shock Sites

You may not post or link to shock sites, or any such obscene material. Violations of this rule will result in a permanent ban on your account.

 

Illegal Use

You may not use our forums for illegal purposes, in support of illegal activities, or encourage conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, as determined by the laws of New Zealand. Such activities will guarantee a ban. We reserve the right to cooperate with legal authorities and/or injured third parties in the investigation of any suspected crime or civil wrongdoing.

 

Privacy

  • You may not post any form of real life information of a user unless the user has first permitted it by express consent. Examples of real life information include name, address, IP addresses, and phone numbers.
  • You may not distribute any form of real life information, email address, private/email Messages, and Instant Messenger messages (“Chatlogs”) with intent to harass or in any demeaning manner as determined by a moderator, regardless of consent.

Inservice Record Data Entry Guide

The inservice record should be used for any adhoc training or education that is typically less than 1 hour duration.

Education that is over 1 hour should be added to healthLearn as a workshop for attendees to obtain their PD hours. To request a workshop, you can submit the details here.

If you need access to enter training records, please email healthlearn@siapo.health.nz requesting access. Please include your Te Whatu Ora district, healthLearn user name, your role, why you need access and your direct line manager contact details.

There are 3 steps required to add an inservice into healthLearn:
1 - creating the session
2 - adding attendees
3 - marking attendance for this training to appear on their Record of Learning and award CPD

Inservice training sessions are usually entered after the session has already run using the information from the attendance sheet. 

Please ensure each attendee is marked as 'Fully Attended' to complete the record

Intravenous Fluid and Medication Peripheral Administration Programmes

To gain the entry level Peripheral IV fluid and medication endorsement, staff are required to complete one of the Medication and Fluid Foundation Programmes. 

Please also note that there is no longer a requirement for a practical clinical assessment within the foundation programmes.  Instead, staff are able to download a checklist to work through with their preceptor or IV link staff member. The clinical checklists are located on the Lippincott online procedural manual. To access these, you need to be on a work computer, via the Lippincott app or by using a username and password issued by your organisation.  

Monitoring will be in the form of clinical practice observations or similar, which is undertaken by your workplace IV link staff, quality or audit staff.

Experts from around the South Island have been developing a number of online courses for our Medication and Fluid Foundation programme. This replaces our old Level 1 (or initial) IV Peripheral Therapy Competency.  The purpose of the foundation programme is to maintain consistency and quality of our medication and fluid management training and assessment throughout the South Island health sector. Each foundation programme is made up of a range of courses. Each course has an assessment quiz ranging from 5-15 questions.

The programmes and courses are as follows:

Medication & Fluid Foundation

1

Medication & Fluid Foundation

2

Medication & Fluid Foundation

3

Medication & Fluid Foundation

Paediatrics

Medication and Fluid Foundation Operating Theatre

  • Medication Safety Clinical Calcs
  • Oral Meds
  • Sub Cut 
  •  IV fluids
  • IV meds
  • IV infection prevention
  • Medication Safety
  • Clinical Calcs
  • Oral Meds
  • Sub Cut
  • Pumps
  • Blood and Blood Products
  • IV fluids
  • IV meds

  • Paediatric Fluid and Electrolyte Management
  •  Clinical Calcs
  • Medication Safety
  • IV infection prevention
  • Blood and Blood Products
  • Medication Management in the Operating Theatre Environment
  • Irrigation Fluid Management in the Operating Theatre Environment

 

Any organisation is welcome to use these courses for IV therapy endorsement, however each organisation must have their own policies and procedures on the process of endorsing staff to administer IV medication, ongoing assessment of staff and maintenance of skills, knowledge and standards. .

The division of courses are designed to cater to the needs of the hospital and community settings.

Some examples:

  • Staff in in an adult surgical ward would need to complete foundation 3, whereby a nurse in a paediatric surgical ward would need to complete foundation 3 and the paediatric foundation course.
  • Staff in a General Practice may just require foundation 1, yet in West Coast where the General Practice may deliver IV therapy, you would choose to complete foundation 2.
  • Staff working as District Nurses may complete foundation 2.
  • Staff in ED or ICU will require to complete all of Foundation 3 plus the Paediatric foundation.
  • Staff in operating theatre would complete the Medication and Fluid Foundation Operating Theatre programme

If you have staff who have transferred to your area you may require them to complete an additional foundation course depending on the clinical area requirements.

Job Assignments - What are they ?

Job assignments enable users to capture their different responsibilities within their organisation. Job assignments can be created and updated manually via a user's profile and users may hold any number of job assignments, with each job optionally linked to a position, organisation, manager, appraiser and temporary manager.

Managers with team members holding one or more job assignments - including users that might report to other managers too - can see all of their team's details in their Team area and have full access to their record of learning and learning plans.

For seminar events that require manager approval, learners reporting to multiple managers can choose to select which manager should receive the booking approval request. This allows the appropriate manager to approve attendance and manage team member training schedules.

Manager - How do I approve a booking

There are a couple of ways to approve a booking


  • Via email. If you are asked to approve a booking, and email is sent out to you. There is a link in the email which you can click on - you will be prompted to log in to healthLearn, and then the approval page should be displayed. You will need to select either 'Accept" or "Reject" and then update.


  • Via your Task box. If you have an approval waiting, then this will also be displayed in your Task Box/Block located on your dashboard and also within your Team tab information located on the main menu. You need to click on the link in the task (handy hint - click the i symbol for more information). You will need to select either 'Accept" or "Reject" and then update. 



If you click 'View all tasks' you can see the information that you have been emailed - and can then click on the link under the words "Please follow the link below to APPROVE OR DECLINE the request", then you will need to select either 'Accept" or "Reject" and then update.

 

To keep track of your requests - once you have actioned them - it is helpful to clean up your task box and delete these processed requests by selecting the task and then at the bottom of the page - click 'Dismiss'



Please note: the staff MUST have selected you as their manager for any requests to appear on your dashboard.

Manager - Taking Leave

If as a Manager you are planning leave - or know that you will not be able to action and approve any course requests, you need to do the following


Request that your staff add a Temporary Manager

In the staff members Job Assignment information which is located in the  'My Details' block/box, there is the ability for a staff member to add a temporary manager.


They should select the name of the manager - and how long you will be away for.


When a temporary manager is selected - you will receive a notification message letting you know that one of your staff have selected a temporary manager, and who that manager is.


In an emergency - if you are away, the staff member can contact the course tutor - or facilitator asking them to approve your staff member on your behalf. Please look at the course details carefully to identify who is the most suitable person to contact for your organisation, as some courses have more than one tutor - who belong to different organisations.


Manager - What reports can I see

As a Manager you are able to see a range on information about your staff.

The first stage is to ensure that staff in your area have selected you as their manager in their healthLearn profile. There are two ways to do this - more information can be found in the "How do I add my Manager" section of the Help Files.


In your Team tab (in the main menu).

 Once a staff member has selected you as their manager, you will see their information in your "Team" tab, which will be shown on the main menu at the top of the site. Each staff member will have information that you will be able to view. The initial information that you can see for all staff who report to you is a summary table of learning being undertaken - or completed. For more information you can select your staff member and view the following;


  1. Profile. You will be able to click on the staff members name and view their profile
  2. Record of Learning. This report enables you to see the learning that your staff member has undertaken, and the status of the learning - Not started, in progress and completed. You can filter this further by using the display settings to show only, in progress, completed and completed via RPL (recognition of prior learning)
  3. Bookings. You can see what sessions your staff member has attended (face to face session) and what sessions they have upcoming
  4. Learning Plan. You can view a staff members learning plan(s). As a manager you have the ability to enroll your staff member into a course, programme or certification through their learning plan.


On your Manager dashboard

there is a table which shows a list of any staff members awaiting course approval - or on a waitlist for a course. To see staff in this report - they must have selected you as their manager. You will also still see their approval requests in your "Tasks" box - located on your dashboard on the left side - and under the Team tab on your main menu.


In your Reports tab 

(in the main menu), there are additional reports that you can access for the staff who have assigned you as their manager.

  1. Staff training record and course completion report. This report enables you to search for information around course completion status by staff member name or course name
  2. Staff programme completion report. This report enables you to search for information around programme (pre-set collection of courses) completion status by staff member name or programme name
  3. Staff certification completion report. This report enables you to search for information around certification (a repeating course, or set of courses) completion status by staff member name or certification name
  4. Staff face to face session status. This report enables you to view and search for upcoming face to face (seminars) status and information. (i.e. approved, awaiting approval, wait-listed, cancelled etc)
  5. Seminar Sessions Summary. This report allows you to search for any workshop (seminar) session, and allows you to see the following; Presenter, Start and finish date/time, Room Location, Course the workshop is in, name of the workshop, number of attendees, places still available and a booking status. The filters are very helpful with this.
  6. Course Library Catalogue Search. This report allows you to search through every course in the system, and includes the following information; Course name, Course Category, Course Code, Course Summary (From the directory listing) and Professional Development Hours. The filters are also quite helpful when searching for information.

Manager and Educator - Important information for new staff or staff leaving

If a new member of staff begins in your workplace and...

They already have a healthLearn account - Just ask them to update their position (if applicable), workplace and manager. It is important that they do not create another account as this will result in two accounts they have to maintain and two records of learning. If they have lost access to their account contact the technical team on admin@healthlearn.ac.nz

If staff do not have a healthLearn account - Ask them to create a new account. When they create their account they can set their workplace and position during setup - but can only select their Manager once they have logged into the system with an active account. This is for security reasons so that people without healthLearn access cannot view the user directory, and to ensure that only people who are logged in can view the user directory.


If a staff member is moving on

If a staff member starts a new job, they will still be able to access healthLearn and their record of learning. Please encourage them to do the following

  1. Update their email address if needed. To reset their password, they will need to have access to an email address. Staff who have work email addresses can update their details in their user profile to a home/personal email - or to their new workplace email address.
  2. Update their workplace. Please ensure that they update their workplace in the My Details Block (Job Description)
  3. Update their manager. Please ask them to update their manager in their My Details Block. If they are going to a place where their manager does not have an account, just get them to delete their old manager - and then they can update their manager when they are able.
