Educational activities for hospital staff don't easily match with the congestive rhythm of healthcare personnel working life. Online learning could make it easier for healthcare personnel to attend courses, but there is still uncertainty about the feasibility of using distance learning to effectively meet education goals in healthcare institutions. Fondazione Salvatore Maugeri (FSM) started an online educational program, as pilot project, in October 2010. The present study hence is aimed at evaluating the impact of this initiative (in terms of extent and intensity of healthcare staff attendance; objective and subjective effectiveness) in order to take informed decisions for the future. In 15 months, 5 elearning courses have been provided to 2261 potential users of 14 FSM hospitals, in parallel with traditional education. 1099 users from all the hospital have intensively attended the courses (58% of nurses, 50% of therapists, 44%, of technicians, 25% of physicians) for a total of 27459 CME credits. Effectiveness in terms of knowledge gain is satisfactory and subjective evaluation is good (more than 95% of satisfied users). Elearning is not appropriate for all the educational needs and is not a panacea, but the reported results point out that it may be an effective and economically convenient mean to support massive educational interventions reaching results hardly attainable with traditional education. Users should be better educated about how to exploit online education at best.
针对医院工作人员的教育活动很难与医护人员紧张忙碌的工作节奏相匹配。在线学习能让医护人员更轻松地参加课程，但利用远程学习有效实现医疗机构教育目标的可行性仍存在不确定性。萨尔瓦托雷·毛杰里基金会（FSM）于2010年10月启动了一个在线教育项目作为试点项目。因此，本研究旨在评估该举措的影响（从医护人员参与的程度和强度、客观和主观效果方面），以便为未来做出明智决策。在15个月内，与传统教育并行，为FSM的14家医院的2261名潜在用户提供了5门电子学习课程。来自所有医院的1099名用户积极参加了这些课程（护士占58%，治疗师占50%，技术人员占44%，医生占25%），共获得27459个继续医学教育学分。在知识获取方面的效果令人满意，主观评价良好（超过95%的用户满意）。电子学习并不适用于所有教育需求，也不是万灵药，但报告结果指出，它可能是一种有效且经济便利的手段，以支持大规模教育干预，取得传统教育难以实现的成果。应更好地指导用户如何充分利用在线教育。
