Abstract: High-quality healthcare requires a highly skilled and well-trained workforce, and consequently, there is growing interest in the pathways and processes by which clinicians are trained. In 2008, the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services commissioned a project to investigate the nature of successful clinical placements, through which learners undertake experiential learning in clinical settings. That project resulted in the development of the Best Practice Clinical Learning Environment (BPCLE) Framework. In 2013, statewide implementation of the framework commenced using a novel approach to quality improvement, termed map-enabled experiential review (MEER). The MEER approach uses map-based simulation of organisational processes to facilitate structured conversations among staff about their daily implementation of those processes. Feedback on the use of MEER from staff involved in framework implementation indicated that the approach was well received by end users, while, most importantly, data collected through MEER assessments revealed that implementation of the BPCLE Framework results in improvements to the clinical learning environment.
