Meet An Ipe Student Champion From Thomas Jefferson University, Emily Romano

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

I had the opportunity to be involved with JCIPE even before I was a Jefferson student! I spent a year working at the Camden Coalition and got to assist with analyzing Student Hotspotting (SH) surveys. After coming to SKMC, I participated in the Health Mentors program in my first and second years and then went on to join an SH team during my third year. I got to serve as an alumni advisor for an SH team the following year and have since been working on a qualitative study of the SH process with an interprofessional team representing occupational therapy, …

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

Hosted by the Center for Health Interprofessional Programs, University of Minnesota, the CLARION National Interprofessional Case Competition is designed to give healthcare students an interprofessional teamwork experience. In 2021, JCIPE sent a strong team consisting of two pharmacy students, Jordan Mak & Cat-Trinh Phan, and two nursing students, Francesca Girone & Mary Lloyd, to represent Jefferson. Our team successfully developed an innovative solution proposal to build a better healthcare system by conducting a root-cause analysis of a fictionalized event. Over the course of the project, our team formed a strong relationship, which culminated in a presentation and a …

How Structural Competency Can Help Dismantle Structural Racism, Peter S. Cahn, Phd

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

In the case of Mr. Sinclair, any proponent of interprofessional collaborative practice could identify lapses in team performance. Failures in communication prevented crucial information from reaching the appropriate health professionals. Some members of the hospital staff may not have fully understood the scope of their and their colleagues' roles. Fellow patients exhibited more respect for Mr. Sinclair's dignity than the clinicians who encountered Mr. Sinclair.

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

When last we wrote, we were just beginning to reflect on the global upheaval encapsulated in the COVID-19 pandemic and the new urgency to confront systemic racism. Some areas of the world have emerged from COVID-19 lockdowns while others are battling new variants with catastrophic consequences. The disparities in vaccine distribution continue to be an urgent problem, along with vaccine hesitancy, building trust between patients and the healthcare system, and establishing access to healthcare for underserved populations. So, while we may be nearing the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is much work to be done to tackle the complexities …

Infusing Interprofessional Education Core Competencies And Collaborative Practice Into Standards-Driven Curricula, Paula S. Currie, Phd, Ccc-Slp, Luanne Billingsley, Dnp, Mba, Aprn, Acns-Bc, Ryan Green, Phd, Atc, Ralph Wood, Phd, Ches

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

One challenge facing healthcare training programs is balancing the need to provide students with interprofessional education (IPE) and collaborative practice (CP) opportunities in the context of highly prescribed standards-driven curricula (e.g. nursing and speech-language pathology). An infusion-based approach is an option for institutions and standards-driven programs that do not have specific IPE/CP courses or open electives in their curriculum.

In Student Hotspotting, interprofessional teams provide hands-on, individualized interventions to patients with high healthcare utilization to address underlying social determinants of health (such as education, economic stability, or neighborhood safety), promote interprofessional collaboration, and reduce unnecessary hospital admissions for patients with complex health and social needs.

Collaborative Interprofessional Work As Means To Prepare Better Healthcare Professionals, Oksana Kazharova, Msw, Lcsw, Lcadc

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

Over the past few years, I've had the honor to represent Pathways to Housing PA in the interprofessional collaborative work with JCIPE on the project called ESHP (Enhancing Services for Homeless Populations). This partnership opportunity was as much exciting as it was needed. Many professionals in the healthcare field have the driving compassion and desire to improve someone's life; after all, staying healthy is one of the most important aspects of life. While many who choose to work in a health profession strive to deliver the best service, young healthcare professionals have very little practice and/or knowledge on how to …

Community participation can be an issue across all areas of life. What about when it applies to medical care? The numbers of those with autism began steeply climbing in 2003, meaning that over the next decade, over half a million individuals with autism will be reaching adulthood and require adult medical care.

Welcome to the fall 2020/winter 2021 issue of the JCIPE newsletter. 2020 was a year like no other. We witnessed and weathered the impact of the COVID pandemic in a variety of ways, and felt it on nearly every aspect of our professional and personal lives. We also collectively witnessed atrocities too numerous to count, resulting from the deep-seated systemic racism that is intrinsically tied to health disparities and inequities in this country.

The pain and adversity has made this a dark time in our history, yet, has enabled us, individually and communally, to heed and recognized historically marginalized voices, …
