Collaborative Healthcare: Interprofessional Practice, Education and Evaluation (JCIPE)

As a medical student, my education has largely been divided into two different schools of teaching: didactic classroom instruction and hands-on apprenticeship. The balance between these two components has shifted towards the latter as I have progressed in my education. For example, we first learn about the anatomy and physiology of the heart, then progress to learn about the textbook presentation and patho-physiology as well as treatments of processes such as congestive heart failure. Then as upper years we encounter patients who are faced with these conditions and are tasked with using our knowledge base to provide appropriate care and …

Impact Of An Interprofessional Leadership Program On Collaboration In Practice, Julie Vincent, Dnp, Rn, Cenp, Diane Andrews, Phd, Rn, Lt. General (Ret.) Mark Hertling, Sandra Galura, Phd, Rn, Loretta Forlaw, Phd, Rn

Collaborative Healthcare: Interprofessional Practice, Education and Evaluation (JCIPE)

Purpose

The purpose of this project was to improve attitudes towards collaboration between nurse and physician leaders and to describe the changes in attitudes and behaviors following completion of an interprofessional education (IPE) leadership development program.

Significance

The Institute of Medicine (IOM) 1999 study, To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System, demonstrated that poor collaboration among clinicians can contribute to negative patient outcomes and further outlined that traditional methods of learning in healthcare result in nurses and physicians becoming isolated from one another and thus unprepared to work collaboratively (Delunas & Rouse, 2014). The nurse-physician (RN-MD) …

Enhancing Services To Homeless Populations Through An Interprofessional Virtual World Simulation, Susan Toth-Cohen, Anne C. Smith, M.Ed.

Collaborative Healthcare: Interprofessional Practice, Education and Evaluation (JCIPE)

Simulations are increasingly implemented as core teaching strategies in healthcare education. Along with the growth and proliferation of many forms of simulation, new venues for implementation also have emerged, including virtual world (VW) role play simulations (Jarmon, Traphagan, Mayrath, & Trevedi, 2009; Rogers, 2010; Walker & Rockinson-Szapkiw, 2009). These VW simulations enable interprofessional teams of students to learn and test their knowledge and skills in real time, within settings that can model a wide range of institutional and community practice environments.

VW simulations provide many of the same benefits that have been described in campus-based simulations, such as practice within …

Caregiver Evaluation Of A Palliative Care Consultation Team Using The Jefferson Teamwork Observation Guide (Jtog) By Caregivers Of Severely Ill Patients, John Liantonio, Md, Beth Wagner, Crnp, Kristine Swartz Md, Molly Hanson, Crnp, Kathleen Mechler, Md, Brooke Worster, Md, Carol Brown, Susan Parks Md

Collaborative Healthcare: Interprofessional Practice, Education and Evaluation (JCIPE)

Background:

Palliative care teams strive to improve the quality of life of patients and their families who are faced with life threatening illnesses by addressing the physical, psychosocial and spiritual aspects of their care (World HealthOrganization, 2017). The palliative care team is an interprofessional team made up of physicians, nurses, social workers and chaplains and often partners with many other disciplines. Palliative care has been shown to increase quality of life in patients with cancer and help improve communication amongst patients, their families and their care teams (Temel, 2010; Seow, 2008). Additionally, many studies have sought to prove the effectiveness …

Collaborative Healthcare: Interprofessional Practice, Education and Evaluation (JCIPE)

This spring marks an exciting time for JCIPE as we prepare to celebrate our 10^th anniversary as a center for interprofessional education. Ten years ago, students across our six colleges rarely interacted; IPE was a fairly new and often misunderstood term on campus. Now, a decade later, Jefferson has embraced a culture where IPE and collaborative practice are expected, welcomed and increasingly integrated across the learning continuum, from first year students to seasoned providers. This spring, we graduated our ninth cohort of Jefferson Health Mentors Program students, developed three new advanced IPE electives, compiled a comprehensive inventory of IPE …

Interprofessional Practice Increasingly Influences Jefferson Students' University Selection

Collaborative Healthcare: Interprofessional Practice, Education and Evaluation (JCIPE)

• Data supplied by the Office of Institutional Research and drawn from its New Student Survey question “Please identify why you selected Thomas Jefferson University over other institutions.”

• Students given 29 options and asked to select the top three (3) reasons that influenced their decision.

• Five items are generally cited as major reasons that students select Jefferson, including academic reputation, quality of faculty, campus location, affiliation with Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and clinical opportunities available.

• Despite the above consistent (and expected/desired) reasons and the change in question format to require students to select only their top three …

Collaborative Healthcare: Interprofessional Practice, Education and Evaluation (JCIPE)

In June 2014, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education Review Board re-accredited Thomas Jefferson University and in their report they made sure to highlight the exemplar work being done by the Jefferson Center for InterProfessional Education (JCIPE). JCIPE, founded in 2007, was commended by the accreditation committee for its work during the committee’s most recent visit to Philadelphia in June 2014.

To help foster the mission of JCIPE, the Jefferson Digital Commons has partnered to archive the JCIPE eNewsletter. Archiving the newsletter has allowed JCIPE to continue promoting their mission to an international community and has allowed the international …

A Community College Interprofessional Nurse Managed Center Practice Model, Donna Meyer, Msn, Rn, Anef

Collaborative Healthcare: Interprofessional Practice, Education and Evaluation (JCIPE)

Lewis and Clark Community College (L&C) has initiated an innovative interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) model at its Family Health Clinic (FHC), a nurse managed center, located at the main campus in Godfrey, Illinois. The FHC previously operated successfully for seven years, and has exceeded the projected impact with the numbers of individuals served in the community. The project is innovative and distinctive in providing an IPCP model in that it is inter-institutional, with several of the participating practitioners from institutions other than L&C. The core leadership of the model remains with the nursing professionals at the FHC. It is important …

From Interprofessional Education To Collaborative Practice: A Jefferson Alumna's Perspective, Chelsea (Gorman) Lytle, Bsn, Rn

Collaborative Healthcare: Interprofessional Practice, Education and Evaluation (JCIPE)

I graduated from Jefferson College of Nursing at Thomas Jefferson University in May 2015 and began my work as a perioperative nurse the following July. During my time at Jefferson, I not only participated in the Health Mentors Program (HMP), but was also given the opportunity to work closely with JCIPE and a group of students from other health care professions to refine and expand IPE offerings. We formed a student organization, now known as Jefferson Students for Interprofessional Education (JSIPE), which had three over-arching goals:

1. Students will gain exposure to real-world collaborative practice teams

2. Students will learn …

Leveraging Online Learning And Creative Narrative To Advance Interprofessional Competency Development, Karen T. Pardue, Phd, Rn, Cne, Anef, Shelley Cohen Konrad, Phd, Lcsw, Fnap

Collaborative Healthcare: Interprofessional Practice, Education and Evaluation (JCIPE)

The need for health profession students to engage in collaborative interprofessional education (IPE) is abundantly evident. In contemporary practice, creating clinical environments which promote healing relies not just on the dispositions of individual clinicians, but also on the collective capacities of interprofessional healthcare teams (Konrad & Browning, 2012). Health profession educators are therefore increasingly challenged to: 1. design robust pedagogical curricula that prepare students with discipline-specific competencies to care for future patients; 2. offer shared learning experiences in which students develop interprofessional, team-based capacities grounded in intentional and respectful collaboration; and 3. cultivate an interprofessional culture amongst faculty that models …

A Community College's Foray Into Interprofessional Education, Judith Blum, Ms, Otr/L, Mary Kay Demarco, Phd, Rn, Cne

Collaborative Healthcare: Interprofessional Practice, Education and Evaluation (JCIPE)

As initiatives and innovations in interprofessional education (IPE) continue to flourish in university settings, there is limited evidence this is occurring in two-year allied health and nursing programs found in community colleges. Recent literature indicates that graduates of associate degree allied health and nursing programs account for 49% of the total healthcare workforce (Brookings Institute, 2014). Graduates of these programs will work among those coming from university programs where IPE has been well established, therefore, it is imperative that this content be addressed at the community college. To meet this need, the Community College of Baltimore County’s (CCBC) School of …

Collaborative Healthcare: Interprofessional Practice, Education and Evaluation (JCIPE)

Happy Spring! You will notice that the Jefferson Center for Interprofessional Education (JCIPE) newsletter has undergone a name and layout change. This represents the many new directions our Center is taking in both interprofessional education (IPE) and collaborative practice (CP) training. Indeed, JCIPE has had another busy spring. We started the new year by piloting the patient version of the Jefferson Teamwork Observation Guide (JTOG) in the inpatient setting, expanding an outpatient pilot that started last fall. Thanks to many research assistants, we have been able to gather some rich and informative data and this summer we hope to have …
