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 …

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 …

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 …

You Tube: An Innovation Promoting Ipp Immersion Opportunities For Health Science Students, Genevieve Pinto Zipp, Pt, Edd, Catherine Maher, Dpt, Pt

JCIPE Conference

One of the primary goals for health science educational programs is to support the development of evidenced based, critically reflective entry-level healthcare professionals who practice within a patient centered interprofessional model of care. Recognizing the importance of experiential learning in preparing students, Seton Hall University Core Signature IPE Experience employs social media innovations to immerse students in real life situations. Specifically, You Tube is used as a platform for students to meet “in person” patient/clients within their “real- life situations” during their didactic coursework. You Tube IPP immersion opportunities do not replace hands on activities within real life situations, but …
