E-formation d’un réseau de soins avec un dispositif numérique d’e-ETP, l’expérimentation du Centre Spécialisé Obésité des Hospices Civils de Lyon

Objective

Supporting patients living with obesity requires a consistent approach from healthcare professionals. Training in this therapeutic support is one of the missions of the Specialized Obesity Centers (CSO). A digital device was tested by the CSO of the Hospices Civils de Lyon (HCL) in order to assess its relevance for the training of its network of professionals between September and December 2022.

Materials and methods

Two e-courses were tested: “obesity nutrition” (38 workshops) and “bariatric surgery” (23 workshops) by volunteer healthcare professionals (n = 282) and by a group of experts (n = 8). Three main categories of data were collected for this experiment in order to assess the use, satisfaction and relevance of the platform using a Likert scale out of 10 and a list of words to choose from.

Results

The completion rates for all courses for healthcare professionals are 32.8% (nutrition obesity) and 65.2% (bariatric surgery). More than 90% of users recommend the use of the tool for patients and healthcare professionals. The expert group assessed the interest of the tool in the context of training healthcare professionals at 9.3 ± 0.7 out of 10.

Conclusion

Digital technology now makes it possible to enrich care pathways with the use of digital devices provided that the latter maintain a consistency of approach and content. This experiment demonstrates here that this digital device, initially designed for the therapeutic education of patients, has its place in the future training pathways of caregivers.
