Interprofessional Collaborator Curriculum, Todd C. James, Md, Ella H. Bowman, Md, Phd, Glenda R. Westmoreland, Md Oct 2014

Interprofessional Collaborator Curriculum, Todd C. James, Md, Ella H. Bowman, Md, Phd, Glenda R. Westmoreland, Md

JCIPE Conference

Background:

Physicians are often expected to participate with teams of health professionals; however, postgraduate training infrequently includes interprofessional (IP) or team training.

Purpose:

This curriculum was developed to demonstrate the knowledge, skills and attitudes which lead to successful IP collaboration.

Curriculum:

During a four-week geriatrics rotation, medicine interns complete a fifty-minute, in-person, multimedia lecture to introduce the IP collaborator concept and the Canadian and American IP competency frameworks. The IP pocket card is demonstrated and interns complete a guided, team-meeting video observation exercise. Using a Survey Monkey, narrative reporting tool, interns analyze team competencies that they observe or initiate during …

Extrinsic And Intrinsic Elements That May Impact Students’ Perceptions Of And Willingness To Internalize Interprofessional Education Program Goals, Barret Michalec, Phd, Carolyn Giordano, Brandie Pugh, Ma, Christine A. Arenson, Md, Elizabeth T. Speakman, Edd, Rn, Anef

JCIPE Conference

ABSTRACT

An increasing number of health profession education institutions are constructing and implementing Interprofessional Education (IPE) programs. Various evaluative efforts are therefore underway to explore students’ perceptions of these programs, nuances of the interdisciplinary interactions within programs, and the potential long-term impact of these programs on students’ mentality towards team-based, collaborative care. This study, however, examines how elements specific to and outside of an IPE program may impact students’ perceptions of the program and their willingness to engage with prominent aims and goals of IPE. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 students from varying disciplines at the end of …

JCIPE Conference

Description Purpose:

To utilize interprofessional expertise to improve staff/trainees’ knowledge of pediatric delirium and to implement universal screening, enhance systematic detection and standardize delirium treatment in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).

Background:

Delirium is neuropsychiatric syndrome characterized by a waxing and waning level of alertness and is associated with cognitive impairment and psychiatric symptoms. Despite increasing evidence of delirium in critically ill children, it remains under recognized leading to higher morbidity and mortality rates (Turkel et al., 2013). Given the complexity of delirium care, no one health care profession can adequately meet the patient’s needs and an interprofessional collaborative …

Project participants include graduate nursing, dentistry, pharmacy, and social work students who …


Interprofessional Healthcare As A Catalyst For Better Education, Shilpa J. Register, Od, Ms, Phd Oct 2014

Interprofessional Healthcare As A Catalyst For Better Education, Shilpa J. Register, Od, Ms, Phd

JCIPE Conference

Abstract:

Interprofessional healthcare was introduced as a concept to enhance quality of patient care. Its application involves a team of different healthcare professionals working together to deliver excellence in patient care. This is presupposed by an understanding of one another’s professions and its relation to best practices in patient care. Through the early adoption of this concept, enhanced interprofessional communication and patient education techniques have been developed and have been proven to show an enhanced quality of patient care. Concurrently, there has been an explosion of new health professional schools in university settings that have the potential to better promote …

Interprofessional Education: A Curricular Gap Analysis, Janice A. Odiaga, Dnp Cpnp-Pc, Joanne Miller, Phd, Apn/Gpn-Bc, Theresa Gierlowski, Bs, Mpm

JCIPE Conference

The goal of Interprofessional education (IPE) is to create a new health care workforce that is prepared to function as a deliberative culturally competent team, providing patient centered care that optimizes health and quality of life for individuals with multiple chronic conditions. The purpose of an IPE curricular gap analysis is to determine if IPE and key concepts related to chronic disease self-management are integrated into course descriptions, objectives, didactic, activities and evaluated. The baseline results can be an effective tool to initiate an institutional cultural change promoting curricular revision.

Key concept terminology, interprofessional, chronic disease self-management, motivational interviewing, and …


The Influence Of Professional Identity Formation On The Attitudes Of Healthcare Professional Students Toward Interprofessionalism, Cynthia L. Stull, Bsdh, Mdh, Christine Blue, Bsdh, Ms Oct 2014

The Influence Of Professional Identity Formation On The Attitudes Of Healthcare Professional Students Toward Interprofessionalism, Cynthia L. Stull, Bsdh, Mdh, Christine Blue, Bsdh, Ms

JCIPE Conference

The objective of this study was to quantify first-year health professional students’ attitudes toward their own and other professions following an interprofessional education (IPE) course. Additionally, this study sought to investigate the relationship between strength of professional identity and attitudes toward other professions.

Professional identity, along with the stereotypes that students hold of other professions, are key factors influencing IPE. Expectations are that attitudes towards other professions will improve following participation in an introductory IPE experience. However, theory surrounding professional identity formation suggests this expectation may be premature.

In the Fall of 2011, using a pre/post-test design, researchers administered the …

• Relevant vectors for IPE

– Clinical is idea

– Consider global health as an appropriate context

JCIPE Conference

The Use of Standardized Patient Simulation for Interprofessional Teaching of Palliative Care Communication Skills

• Children who receive palliative care services are affected by illnesses that are different in nature and number from those that typically affect adult recipients.

• Interdisciplinary/Interprofessional teams are the norm:

• Special knowledge of pediatric developmental, psychological, social and spiritual dimensions round out the comprehensive palliative care of pediatric patients.

• Even symptom management requires unique assessment tools.

“It’S Persuasion Disguised As Information” The Experiences And Adaptations Of Abortion Providers Practicing Under A New Law, Rebecca J. Mercier Md Mph, Mara Buchbinder, Phd, Amy Bryant,Md,Mph, Laura Britton,Rn, Bsn

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Presentations and Grand Rounds

Background

Abortion laws are proliferating in the United States. From 2011 to 2013, 30 states passed a total of 205 abortion restrictions.1 Increasingly, these laws are focused on abortion providers. Such laws have been criticized by professional organizations including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists,2 but few studies have assessed the impact of these laws on abortion providers.

In 2011 North Carolina passed HB 854, the “Women’s Right To Know Act” (WRTK). Similar to laws in 26 other states, WRTK mandates a 24-hour waiting period after counseling before an abortion can be performed. Content of the counseling …

Ebola: A Crisis In Global Health Leadership, Lawrence O. Gostin, Eric A. Friedman Oct 2014

Ebola: A Crisis In Global Health Leadership, Lawrence O. Gostin, Eric A. Friedman

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

At the core of the present Ebola crisis in West Africa is a lack of global health leadership. WHO should be the global health leader, following its constitutional charge, yet it is significantly under-resourced, having a direct effect on its rapid response capacity. The Organization's response to this crisis has been constantly behind, from low funding appeals to its delay in declaring this outbreak to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern under the binding International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR). The IHR themselves have proven insufficient, as countries have failed to cooperate in building the public health capacities that …
