Hybrid Education Program to Enhance Care for Adults With Congenital Heart Disease

BACKGROUND: The population of adults with congenital heart disease is rapidly increasing, highlighting the need for lifelong access to specialized care. To provide up-to-date care, health care teams require continuous education. Digital platforms allow for hybrid learning opportunities, combining in-person and online education. Hybrid training has become an increasingly popular means of delivering continuous education to health care professionals, offering flexibility, accessibility, and ongoing professional development. Hybrid models enable health care teams to remain engaged and current, ensuring the delivery of high-quality care. This article describes the role of hybrid education in the professional development of nurses and allied health professionals. METHOD: This mixed methods study assessed participant engagement, perceived usefulness, and areas for improvement after an education program. RESULTS: Virtual platforms and participant feedback allowed health care professionals to engage in ongoing learning. The hybrid model offered flexibility and accessibility. CONCLUSION: Refining educational content based on participant feedback enhanced the learning experience and session effectiveness. With satisfaction levels increasing from 93% in year 1 to 98% in year 2, this feedback-driven approach helped to tailor the program to participant needs and may help improve quality of care.
