Improving Patient Outcomes And Student Learning Through Interprofessional Collaboration, Lucy Chappee, Rn, Mpa, Sheri Banovic, Rn, Msn, Fnp-Bc

JCIPE Conference

The purpose of this interprofessional collaborative project is to integrate primary healthcare, oral health, exercise science, occupational therapy and mental health services at one site, thus making it a single healthcare destination for patients. This project also provides interprofessional education opportunities to students in these healthcare disciplines. The model is targeted toward underserved populations and focuses on treatment, prevention and health education. This approach not only improves care and long term patient outcomes, but also expands the scope of practice for each professional group involved, including students.

A Qualitative Analysis Of Student Understanding Of Team Function Through The Use Of The Jefferson Teamwork Observation Guide (Jtog), Diway Bermudez, Bs, Elizabeth T. Speakman, Edd, Rn, Anef, Fnap, Kevin J. Lyons, Phd, Lauren Collins, Md, Shoshana Sicks, Med, June Horowitz, Phd, Rn, Pmhcns-Bc, Faan, Ashley Tarkiainen

JCIPE Conference

Background:

Several early IOM reports identified the need to educate medical and health professions students in delivering patient-centered care as members of interprofessional teams (IOM, 2001; IOM, 2003). Evidence shows that conducting interprofessional education during education and training prepares student learners for collaborative practice when they enter the workplace, which in turn helps to achieve the Triple Aim of 1) enhancing the patient experience; 2) improving the health of populations; and 3) decreasing costs (WHO, 2010; Berwick, et al., 2008). One way to prepare students for collaborative practice is to have them observe real teams in action. Thus, the Jefferson …

Evaluation Of Patient Perceptions Of Team Based Care In A Geriatric Oncology Clinic, Kristine Swartz, Md, Andrew Chapman, Do, Lauren Collins, Md, Shoshana Sicks, Med, Abigail Sherburne, Bsn

Background: The Senior Adult Oncology Clinic (SAOC) at Thomas Jefferson University’s Kimmel Cancer Center utilizes an interprofessional team approach to provide comprehensive geriatric oncology assessments and treatment plans for older patients with cancer. The importance of team-based healthcare delivery is well documented, however, experts agree that there is a need for more tools to assess the skills required to become a high-functioning team and a need to study the impact of collaborative practice on patient reported outcomes …

The Big Opportunity: Advancing A Culture Of Interprofessionalism, Jan Odiaga, Dnp, Apn, Cpnp-Pc, Joanne Miller, Phd, Apn, Gnp-Bc, Elana A. Min, Phd, Pa-C, Christy C. Tangney, Phd, Facn, Cns, Theresa Gierlowski, Mpm, Stan Lapidos, Ms

JCIPE Conference

Historically, education has been siloed by disciplines leaving little room for interprofessional education to take place. Culture within an academic organization determines the strategies, modes of operation, goals, values, and terminal student learning outcomes. Using Kotter’s accelerated change management model, as a worksheet for educational cultural change, is an effective method to break complacency, generate ideas, align people, and overcome resistance to change.

National Interprofessional Education Initiatives, Abby A. Kahaleh, Phd, Ms, Mph, Bpharm, Kari L. Franson, Phd, Pharmd

JCIPE Conference

Purpose: The goal of this presentation is to define the IPE activities that meet the national competencies and share strategies for designing, implementing, and assessing IPE programs.

JCIPE Conference

Goals for interprofessional education include preparing students to work in collaborative practice, teaching them how to work in teams and to asses and improve the quality of patient care. (Barr, 2007, Thibault, 2013). Four core competency domains have been established to inform interprofessional education (Interprofessional Education Collaborative Expert Panel, 2011). These are ethics/values, roles/responsibilities, interprofessional communication and teams/teamwork. Various pedagogical approaches have been used to help students meet these competencies. The Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation (2013) recommends development and implementation of innovative models to link interprofessional education and practice. Thibault (2013) recommends students engage in “real work” as part of …

Increasing Ipe Awareness Through Social Media And Leveraging Visual Content, Abigail Sherburne, Bs, Shoshana Sicks, Edm

JCIPE Conference

Background:

Social networking is the most popular online activity and increasingly where students, health professionals, and patients get information[i]. In a 2015 student survey at an urban health sciences university, social media was the second most preferred method of communication. Furthermore, content with images gets 94% more total views[ii] and can say more about a program than a long description. This shift is a challenge in healthcare where patient confidentiality is paramount.

Description of Intervention or Program:

We created a Twitter account in August 2015. Our goals were to:

1. Promote awareness of internal and external IPE programs …

Interprofessional Education Among Undergraduate Health Sciences Students Facilitates Efficacy In Collaborative Practice Models, Shannon Davenport, Msn, Rn, Kira Anderson, Msa, Rrt

JCIPE Conference

Purpose: Facilitate interprofessional education among undergraduate students commencing professional courses in health sciences programs to improve the efficacy of collaborative care models.

Background: Annually medical errors cause the preventable deaths of more than a quarter of a million patients within the United States healthcare delivery system. The actions or inactions of healthcare professionals contribute to these soaring and preventable death rates. A logical supposition is that ineffective communication, unfamiliarity of different roles, and loosely collaborative clinical practices attribute to the high incidence medical errors.

A Longitudinal Mixed-Methods Study Of Ipe Students' Perceptions Of Health Profession Groups: Revisiting The Contact Hypothesis, Barret Michalec, Phd, Carolyn Giordano, Phd, Sarah Dallas, Ba, Christine A. Arenson, Md

JCIPE Conference

Abstract

Despite the increasing momentum and integration of Interprofessional Education (IPE) programs into various health professions curriculum, the findings of previous research are mixed regarding the impact these programs have on dismantling or even stifling students’ negative stereotypes of health professions. Of those studies that find “positive” shifts in students’ perceptions, elements of the Contact Hypothesis are frequently employed to support these apparent shifts. However, there is often little to no attention paid to how intergroup contact within IPE programs actually impacts students’ stereotypes. To examine if students’ attitudes towards other health professions shifted following participation in an IPE program …

One key course element is completing a team-based RCA. This assignment was completed solely by Pharm.D. students (fall 2009-2014). Given increased …

Using Technology To Overcome Interprofessional Education Barriers, Joanne Miller, Phd, Apn, Gnp-Bc, Jan Odiaga, Dnp, Apn, Cpnp-Pc, Elana Min, Phd, Pa-C, Lei Zhao, Ms, Theresa Gierlowski, Mpm

JCIPE Conference

Common barriers cited for implementing interprofessional education (IPE) and practices are space constraints, scheduling and time conflicts, full curricula, lack of knowledge and skills related to collaborative practice, and accessibility to other disciplines. Due to these significant barriers, IPE necessitates the development of innovative technological teaching modalities, which provide both didactic and experiential approaches.

Using Quality Matters™ standards for designing and evaluating online courses, five interprofessional (IP) online learning activities were developed at a large Midwest academic medical center. The Interprofessional Education Collaborative Expert Panel (IPEC, 2011) rationale for IPE and their four domains for collaborative practice were the …
