The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of targeted team care training in our institution’s interprofessional practice and education (IPE) program on medical and pharmacy students' expression of knowledge and attitudes about team care as measured in a mock interview. Medical and Pharmacy students were recruited to participate in a 20-minute mock interview for an advanced placement position.

Relationship Of Patient Self-Administered Copd Assessment Test (Cat) To Physician Standard Assessment Of Copd In A Family Medicine Residency Training Program, Leigh Johnson, Jessica Burchette, Ivy A. Click, Sandra Alicia Williams

ETSU Faculty Works

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. COPD is of particular concern in certain sectors of the country, including Central Appalachia where our clinic is located. Assessing patients with COPD presents many challenges as symptoms range from those considered "typical" such as shortness of breath and sputum production to those less often identified like anxiety and social isolation. We conducted a pilot study comparing physician standard assessment of COPD to patient self-assessment using the COPD Assessment Test (CAT). The CAT is an eight-item questionnaire that measures the impact COPD has …

Champion Teams: An Implementation Strategy To Drive Practice Improvement, Jodi Polaha, Leigh Johnson, Millie Wykoff, J. Montgomery, S. Peace, D. Sloan, Reid Blackwelder

ETSU Faculty Works

Developing collaborative practice is an ongoing process requiring frequent upgrades as team members and processes are added. Recently, faculty in ETSU’s Department of Family Medicine have been experimenting with a mechanism for iterative upgrades to team care practice known as Champion Teams. Champion Teams are based on the Institute of Medicine’s "learning health care system" approach in which practitioners develop an internal strategy for implementing new evidence based practices on an ongoing basis. In this presentation, our interprofessional team will describe team-based education and practice at ETSU as it relates to the Champion Team concept including its origins, evidence-base, and …

Navigating Long-Term Care, Jim Holt

ETSU Faculty Works

Americans over age 65 constitute a larger percentage of the population each year: from 14% in 2010 (40 million elderly) to possibly 20% in 2030 (70 million elderly). In 2015, an estimated 66 million people provided care to the ill, disabled, and elderly in the United States. In 2000, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 15 million Americans used some form of long-term care: adult day care, home health, nursing home, or hospice. In all, 13% of people over 85 years old, compared with 1% of those ages 65 to 74, live in nursing homes in …

Using Implementation Science To Guide The Integration Of Evidence-Based Family Interventions Into Primary Care, Justin D. Smith, Jodi Polaha

ETSU Faculty Works

This article is a demonstration of how an implementation-science (IS) framework can be coupled with the measurement of implementation outcomes to effectively integrate evidence-based family interventions in primary care. The primary care environment presents a number of challenges for successfully integrating such interventions. However, IS methods can improve the prospect of successfully implementing a new intervention while simultaneously and rigorously evaluating the impact on salient outcomes. We used our experiences across 2 pilot trials in which the family check-up (Smith, Montaño, Mauricio, Berkel, & Dishion, 2016), an evidence-based family intervention, was integrated into primary care. In these pilot trials, the …
