title: Addressing barriers to enhance outcomes.
abstract: Typical planning for a continuing education event includes assessment of needs, determination of objectives and content, selection of speakers or content experts, and other logistical facets of preparing a learning activity. Adding assessment of potential barriers to implementation of learning during the planning phase and providing support to the learner at the conclusion of the learning process can increase the likelihood of successful outcomes of the learning experience.
