Collaborative Healthcare: Interprofessional Practice, Education and Evaluation (JCIPE)
Interprofessional (IP) collaborative practice is believed to be an essential component of healthcare system transformation via the "Quadruple Aim" (IPEC. 2016) IP simulations provide invaluable opportunities for learners to practice, discuss, and improve teamwork and communication skills for clinical situations (Thistlethwaite, 2012). Furthermore, IP simulations help students gain a nuanced understanding of, and appreciation for, the roles and responsibilities of colleagues from different professions (Thistlethwaite, 2012). As a result, students increase their understanding of how practice is enhanced as they gain additional perspectives on care and improve their ability to engage in effective IP teamwork (IPEC, 2016). IP simulations allow …

A Provocateur For Improvement, 2023 Thomas Jefferson University
A Provocateur For Improvement, David B. Nash, Md, Mba
Collaborative Healthcare: Interprofessional Practice, Education and Evaluation (JCIPE)
I like to think of myself as an internal champion for improving the quality and safety of medical care that we deliver at Jefferson. A central tenet of our work together at the bedside is that care can never be error free because we're working with people. Our goal should always be to make care harm free.
As a result of my dedication to this notion of harm free care, I would like to review some key milestones in my 30 years as a faculty member and connect the dots between my work and certain events. Here is the punch …

Implementation Of An Evidence-Base Hospital Acquired Pressure Injury Prevention Program, 2023 University of Texas at Tyler
Implementation Of An Evidence-Base Hospital Acquired Pressure Injury Prevention Program, Brenda Miner
MSN Capstone Projects
Covid-19 hindered many quality improvement projects. As the stressors from the pandemic began to disappear the healthcare industry was struck with new struggles. These new struggles were ensuring quality care was being provided to all patients. The decline in quality care also led to a decline in reimbursement from payor sources, such as Medicare. During the pandemic the healthcare industry was at their most vulnerable state and now that the dust is settling the ramifications of just surviving are staring the industry right in the eyes. Change is difficult, but it is even more difficult following traumatic events such as …
The Role Of Occupational Therapy In Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, 2023 University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences
The Role Of Occupational Therapy In Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Mina Salinas, Mary Greer, Rudy Seward
Summer 2023 Virtual OTD Capstone Symposium
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive inherited type of muscular dystrophy that results in progressive muscle weakness and requires a multidisciplinary approach for disease management. Occupational Therapy (OT) services are extremely valuable to this population as individuals diagnosed with this condition face significant difficulty in areas of occupational performance. Research shows occupational therapy services are not being received consistently and there are disparities in services received leaving a gap in the literature about the referral process and the understanding of OT's role.

Enhancing Adherence To Best Practice Guidelines Related To Pressure Injury Prevention In The Operating Room At A Children's Hospital During Comprehensive Dental Procedures., Alyce Bailey Seaver
Doctor of Nursing Practice Papers
Background: 1,600,000 patients develop a hospital-acquired pressure injury every year, and 23% of these originate during surgery. Research has demonstrated that the incidence of hospital-acquired pressure injuries developing during surgery has risen over the past 5 years. This rise has been attributed to nurse circulators exhibiting poor knowledge regarding best practices for intraoperative patient positioning and intraoperative documentation that does not follow standards of care.
Purpose: This quality improvement project aimed to enhance circulator knowledge on best practices for intraoperative patient positioning and improve documentation of intraoperative patient positioning in the electronic medical record to comply with standards of …
Teaching Social Determinants Of Health In Physical Therapist Professional Education Programs: Exploring Curricular Approaches And Examining An Assessment Tool, 2023 Old Dominion University
Teaching Social Determinants Of Health In Physical Therapist Professional Education Programs: Exploring Curricular Approaches And Examining An Assessment Tool, Emily Jordan Hawkins
Rehabilitation Sciences Theses & Dissertations
There is a growing emphasis and need for physical therapists (PTs) to serve not only as clinicians but also as advocates to pursue health equity. Clinical practice for preventing and rehabilitating injuries and promoting physical activity will not eliminate health disparities resulting from the social determinants of health (SDH). Leaders in the field of physical therapy have charged physical therapist professional education programs to teach future PTs to address SDH, however, as of August 2023, the Standards and Required Elements for Accreditation of Physical Therapist Education Programs does not specifically require curricular content regarding SDH. The purposes of this dissertation …
Relational Variables Impacting The Healthcare Team, 2023 Western University
Relational Variables Impacting The Healthcare Team, Linda J. Macdougall Ms
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The movement in the healthcare system towards interprofessional collaborative teamwork values the perspectives of various healthcare professionals. Although this system shift has been essential to quality improvement, there have been indications of issues occurring between professionals that include conflict and impaired team performance. Although the current literature on interprofessional collaboration acknowledges the competencies and demonstrated behaviours that indicate successful and difficult collaborative efforts there is a lack of research investigating the relational variables that occur between healthcare professionals.
The purpose of this research was to test a theoretically derived model of healthcare professionals’ relational variables. These variables related to warmth, …
Systemic, Institutional, And Teaching Factors In The Delivery Of Interprofessional Education Curriculum In Canada, 2023 Western University
Systemic, Institutional, And Teaching Factors In The Delivery Of Interprofessional Education Curriculum In Canada, Mohammad B. Azzam
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The Canadian federal and several provincial governments are currently collaborating to establish ‘team-based’ primary healthcare—or interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP), which can be effectively accomplished when interprofessional education (IPE) is sustainably delivered by health and social care (HASC) professional education programs. Indeed, achieving the intended patient/client-oriented outcomes of IPE and subsequent IPCP requires deliberate and purposeful considerations of several systemic, institutional, and teaching factors. Regrettably, the analyses of the extent to which these factors have influenced effective IPCP is currently under-researched. In this integrated-article dissertation, we took a purposeful and systematic approach to explore the extent to which these multi-tiered factors …
Occupational Therapy Curricula Patterns For Acquired Brain Injury-Related Vision Disorders For Entry-Level Programs: A Survey, 2023 Salus University - USA
Occupational Therapy Curricula Patterns For Acquired Brain Injury-Related Vision Disorders For Entry-Level Programs: A Survey, Laura Schmeiser, Alicia Reiser, Caitlyn Foy
The Open Journal of Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists are among the first providers to encounter individuals after an acquired brain injury (ABI). Evidence suggests that most occupational therapists learn about ABI-related vision disorders from continuing education and on-the-job training. A better understanding of entry-level curricula patterns for ABI-related vision disorders is important because of their high prevalence and impact on occupational performance. A descriptive online survey was administered to occupational therapy educators at ACOTE-accredited entry-level programs to explore curricula patterns for ABI-related vision disorders. Of 1,391 occupational therapy educators invited to participate, 71 (5%) began the survey, and 66 met the inclusion criteria. Vision screening methods …

Methods: The rotation incorporates working with our Assertive Community Treatment team and includes home visits, assertive outreach, and visits in other community settings. It was designed to improve learners’ confidence in their understanding and skill set for working with and treating people with SMI in the community on an interprofessional (IP) team. This pilot quality improvement project evaluated psychiatry resident responses to …
Effect Of Confusion Assessment Scores On Identifying Delirium In Intensive Care Patients, 2023 University of Missouri-St. Louis
Effect Of Confusion Assessment Scores On Identifying Delirium In Intensive Care Patients, Kayla Jacobs
Dissertations
Delirium in intensive care unit (ICU) patients can lead to increased length of stay in the hospital, increased risk of complications, increased polypharmacy, family distress and increased rate of mortality (Vasilevskis et al., 2018). Research has shown that addressing modifiable risk factors can improve survival rate by up to 15%, and routine screening for delirium in ICU patients leads to decreased patient anxiety, reduced in-hospital mortality, early recognition, and treatment of delirium (Krewulak et al., 2021 ; Vasilevskis et al., 2018). This quality improvement project used evidence-based intervention to increase accurate documentation of the confusion assessment method in the ICU …
