Digital Storytelling As An Innovative Approach To Prehospital Education: The Experiences Of Teaching Academics., Andrew Van Noordenburg, Georgina Seaman

Health Professions Education

Purpose. To explore teaching academics' experiences of utilising digital storytelling as an innovative approach to prehospital education.

Method. This study describes an innovative learning activity, digital storytelling, developed for an undergraduate paramedicine program. The experiences of teaching academics were then explored through semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis was used to evaluate the data.

Results. Three themes were identified through thematic analysis. The first theme was ‘the impact of friction on learning’ which describes how a learning activity’s design can negatively impact learning. The second theme ‘connecting with the teaching resources’ outlines how having access to sufficient resources is necessary to facilitate …

Improving Medical Education Of Risks Of Ai Use In Healthcare, Stephanie Quon, Catherine Ha

Health Professions Education

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers transformative potential in healthcare, enhancing drug discovery, data processing, early detection, and clinical decision-making. However, its adoption poses significant risks, including client harm, misuse, automation bias, perpetuation of inequities, and security issues. Effective integration requires ongoing collaboration among healthcare professionals, developers, policymakers, and ethicists to ensure accountability and transparency. As AI becomes more prevalent, medical education must evolve to equip students with a deep understanding of AI technology, risk assessment, and mitigation strategies. Currently, medical curricula fall short in this area, necessitating educational reforms. We propose diverse and comprehensive teaching methods, including case studies, interdisciplinary projects, …

Measuring Awareness, Empowerment And Action Orientation: Validation Of The Health Professions Educators Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion Scale (Hpe Dei, Peggy Gesing, R. Jason Lynch, Amanda K. Burbage

Health Professions Education

Purpose. Educating students in health occupations about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) can improve healthcare outcomes for the clients they serve, yet educators may lack training and readiness for incorporating DEI in course content. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate the psychometric properties of the Health Professions Educators DEI Scale (HPE DEI), which measures awareness, empowerment, and action orientation of educators.

Method. A 19-item literature-informed intrument was developed and reviewed for content validity by subject matter experts. Convenience and snowball sampling were used. The piloted instrument was distributed to seven institutions and received sufficient responses for …

Review Of Current Dual-Antiplatelet And Triple Therapy Prescribing Practices At Providence Medical Group, Gina Kim, Christine Doran, Lauren Powell

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Abstract: Approximately 10% of patients with recent percutaneous intervention (PCI) have concomitant atrial fibrillation (AF) and others may have concomitant venous thromboembolism (VTE). This makes choosing the optimal antithrombotic regimen challenging. The ACC published a 2020 decision pathway to guide safe and evidence-based use of antiplatelet and anticoagulant combinations for certain patients. These situations include patients with prior AF on anticoagulation and the need for PCI, patients with new-onset AF requiring anticoagulation in a patient already on antiplatelet therapy for coronary artery disease (CAD), patients with prior VTE on anticoagulation and the need for PCI, and patients with new or …

Impact Of Injectable Calcitonin Non-Formulary Status On Treatment Of Hypercalcemia Of Malignancy In Hospitalized Patients, Ngoc Nguyen, Pamela Levine, Patricia Leo, Andrew Jarrell

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Purpose: Evidence suggests there is limited benefit in using injectable calcitonin for the treatment of hypercalcemia of malignancy. Based on this evidence and in the setting of increased drug costs, many institutions have opted to either restrict or remove calcitonin from their formulary. The purpose of this study was to describe the patient populations receiving treatment for hypercalcemia of malignancy and to evaluate the clinical and financial impact of injectable calcitonin being removed from formulary in an acute care setting. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was reviewed by the Providence Institutional Review Board. Patients were identified through EPIC electronic medical …

Assessment Of Appropriate Anticoagulation And Rates Of Bte In Ambulatory Oncology Patients Using A Validated Risk Assessment Model (Khorana Scote), David Page, Alan Su, Nikki Moxon, Staci Mellinger, Tracy L. Kelly, Katherine Lyon, Pharmd, Ian Ingram, Stephanie Matta, Pharmd, Bcop

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Abstract: Cancer associated venous thromboembolisms (VTE) are associated with higher health care resource utilization (number of hospitalizations, hospital length of stay, inpatient/outpatient medical services) and can complicate treatment of cancer. The Khorana Predictive Model for Chemotherapy-Associated VTE is a validated risk assessment model that determines a patient’s risk of developing VTEs and provides recommendations for starting prophylactic anticoagulation in ambulatory oncology patients. The Khorana Score is composed of various patient characteristics including site of primary cancer, prechemotherapy platelet count, hemoglobin level, prechemotherapy leukocyte count, and BMI. National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) supportive care guidelines recommend prophylactically starting an anticoagulant if …

Titratable, Weight-Based Cisatracurium Infusions For Ventilation Synchrony In Ards, Nanako Miimi, Pharmd, Celine Munoz

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Abstract: Cisatracurium is a non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent used for paralysis in paitents with acute respiratory distress syndrome on mechanical ventilation. Paralysis prevents ventilator dyssynchrony and reduces patient’s work of breathing, which decreases the risk of pneumothorax. On November 1, 2023, PSVMC critical care units transitioned from fixed dosing of cisatracurium for ARDS to a weight-based, titratable dosing protocol. A single-center retrospective cohort study demonstrated cisatracurium titrated using train-of-four was associated with similar ventilatory and clinical outcomes with three folds reduction in cisatracrurium dose in comparison to fixed dose strategy. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the drug …

Variability In Perceptions Of Complementary Health Approaches Among Graduate Student Trainees, Delaney C. Bilodeau

Theses and Dissertations

Complementary Health Approaches (CHAs) encompass a diverse range of practices which are often used both independently and alongside conventional medical treatments. Understanding how graduate students training in different fields perceive CHAs is important because these professional trainees will go on to occupy roles as healthcare practitioners, researchers, policy makers, and consumers. This study used sequential rank agreement methods (Ekstrøm, Gerds, & Jensen, 2019) to investigate variations in perceptions of CHAs in a sample of graduate students (N = 416) from 140 possible training programs. Ratings of CHA familiarity, perceptions of CHA legitimacy, and willingness to recommend CHAs were compared …

The Effect Of Nursing Education On The Utilization Of Kangaroo Mother Care And Weight Gain Of Preterm And Low Birth Weight Infants, Jhenalynn Valete

Nursing | Senior Theses

Aim: The goal of this quantitative study is to investigate if educating nurses about the significance of KMC will increase its utilization and promote weight gain in low birthweight and preterm infants. Additionally, it aims to find the optimal duration of KMC required to maximize health outcomes for the infant. This research proposal aims to provide nursing professionals with valuable insights, allowing them to effectively educate parents on practices that promote maximal weight gain in neonates.

Background: This is a cost-effective and natural way to enhance health outcomes such as temperature regulation, weight gain, respiratory function, pain mitigation, …
