Exploring a novel information-based supervision model facilitates hospital clinical education

Abstract In professional medical education, the supervision system acts as an important role in the development of teachers and maintenance of education quality through regular supervision and guidance of teaching process. Since informatization is an inevitable trend of progression of the times, its application in medical education, especially in hospital clinical education, can link each part of teaching more efficiently. Taking Xiangya Hospital Central South University as an example, this article explored an optimized educational supervision system and constructed a supervision team with higher efficiency. By fully utilizing information platform, the supervision of clinical teaching was expanded both in breadth and in depth. The dual-mode supervision model combines online and offline approaches, thus establishing and improving a feedback mechanism. The closed-loop supervision workflow of “supervision-evaluation-feedback-improvement” aims at building a comprehensive, efficient, scientific, and reasonable quality assurance system for undergraduate education. It fully adapts with the concept of “student-centered, outcome-oriented and continuous improvement”, optimizes the construction of the evaluation mechanism for medical undergraduate education, promotes professional standardization and scientification, as well as enhances the level of professional clinical education and the quality of talent cultivation. According to the comparison of supervision feedback data and effect evaluation between before and after the application of information platform, the informatized teaching and supervision model plays a positive role in improving teaching quality and feedback efficiency. This provides strong support for further promotion and extension of the information platform.
