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 …

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

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 …

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

I walked into a room with its lights glaring and television blaring, a room where a man I had never met before would take his final breath two hours later. The attending nurse kindly dimmed the lights and turned off the television. I sat down next to him. I felt panic. I felt sadness, and I felt peace. This individual would have passed without me knowing, yet I was there with him; he wouldn’t be alone.

The No One Dies Alone (NODA) chapter at Jefferson launched in May, 2016. It launched as a vision in which students of Thomas Jefferson …

Statement of Issue

Increasingly, team-based interprofessional (IP) collaboration is the central model of practice for health disciplines (Khalili, Orchard, Laschinger, & Farah, 2013). Yet traditional education models can foster a uniprofessional identity that leads to “turf protection” and subsequent resistance to IP collaboration (Bronstein, 2003, p. 448). Interprofessional education (IPE) models, however, are designed to promote team competency and an IP identity (Lindgard, 2013). IPE activities often focus on building student competency in four core areas: efficient and effective teamwork, effective communication, understanding of professional roles, and shared values (Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC), 2016). Innovative IPE activities provide students with …

The Development Of The Interprofessional Leadership Institute For Mental Health Equity, Cheryl L. Woods-Giscombe, Phd, Rn, Pmhnp

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

Abstract

The Interprofessional Leadership Institute for Mental Health Equity is being developed at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to reduce mental health disparities by (1) engaging students in interprofessional service learning and research activities, (2) promoting integration of community-based strategies and social determinants of mental health conditions among underserved and vulnerable groups as required curricular components, (3) enhancing workforce diversity (in partnership with Racial/Ethnic Minority-Serving Colleges/Universities) by supporting students to obtain professional careers in mental health care, mental health policy, and mental health leadership, and (4) supporting current mental health providers, educators, and researchers who are working …

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

Background While the need for interprofessional education (IPE) has been clearly elucidated, (Interprofessional Education Collaborative, 2016), one of the major barriers is the logistical challenge of meeting curricular requirements for all involved. The organization and time required in an already full schedule are often deterrents. Ideal opportunities meet specific program curricular requirements as well as enhancing interprofessional competencies. Interprofessional competencies include developing skills to teach other health care providers about profession-specific skills and enhancing communication across the professions (Bridges, 2011; Interprofessional Education Collaborative, 2016). Active learning techniques have been advocated for adult learners to promote motivation and engagement (Knowles, 1984), …

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

Here at JCIPE, another semester has flown by. And again, the Center has been busy expanding and integrating our programs on campus and beyond. This fall, as we welcomed our tenth cohort into the Jefferson Health Mentors Program, we introduced a revised curriculum which is more heavily focused on the social determinants of health and integrates the Social Ecological Model. We also added an eighth profession, Medical Laboratory Sciences, to the mix, expanding our total student enrollment to more than 1400 students! Building on this foundation, this fall we also expanded our more advanced interprofessional TeamSTEPPS® training program. During the …
