Clinical coaching: facilitating learning at point of care


This article about clinical coaching by Faithfull-Byrne and colleagues (2016) reports on a model of education to promote learning at point of care. The authors provide rationales for implementing this model, which include technological change and health professionals being responsible for their own professional development.  They note that learning at point of care learning is responsive to learning in real time as the need arises. The authors describe coaches, which are similar to change champions, and  the clinical coach framework depicted in the article conceptually shows how it works.  The coaching role is about learning, rather than teaching, and enabling learners to reach their potential with guidance from the side. Coaches are present to empower learners to  take responsibility for their own learning and promote their own development. This model is learner-centric and has potential to improve care and enable continuing professional development in healthcare environments.  A similar concept can be found in Empowering learners: Using a triad model to promote eHealth literacy and transform learning at point of care by Mather & Cummings (2015).
