Thesis (Ph.D.)--Walden University, 2009.

There have been calls throughout the health professions to help reform, improve, and integrate continuing education (CE) and continuing professional development (CPD). The purpose of the mixed-methods study was to determine what higher educational institution leaders envision as their roles and responsibilities in CE and CPD for health personnel, appropriate CE and CPD models, and mechanisms necessary to attain organizational support for CE and CPD. Systems and transformational leadership theories grounded this study that utilized (a) Web site searches, (b) a focus group, (c) Delphi surveys, and (d) follow-up interviews with Delphi panelists. Data analysis techniques consisted of Affinity diagrams and Spearman's rho correlations. Research findings showed agreement among experts regarding higher educational institutions' positive interests in responding to appeals for a new vision of CE and CPD for health personnel. Experts in this study emphasized that organizational support within academic institutions is essential. Experts identified key fundamentals such as commitment by leadership, cost-effective approaches, and collaboration among multiple entities. This study may influence positive social change by equipping academic institutions with a conceptual model for organizational support developed from these fundamentals. Model CE and CPD programs promote a health workforce that is up to date with societal, technological, scientific, and medical advances. Positive social change implications of a well-prepared health workforce potentially include increased health promotion, improved professional and patient outcomes, efficient utilization of resources, and additional best practices to enhance societal health and wellbeing in the context of a rapidly changing world.
