Interprofessional Healthcare Education, Research & Practice Community Faculty Conference May 10, 2014 Dixiana Room 10:30-11:20 Objectives • Discuss the unique nature of learners’ transition in interprofessional collaboration skills when moving from classroom to practice. • Describe blended learning as one way to scaffold learners as they move from classroom to clinical practice. • Consider two examples of blended learning currently being implemented at the University of Kentucky to enable campus and community faculty to collaborate with learners during experiential learning. • • • • Agenda Discuss need for translation from classroom to clinic Describe blended learning as a potential mechanism to facilitate translation Consider and critique (using handout) two examples Discuss and compare each others’ perspectives What do we mean by, ‘Interprofessional Education (IPE)?’ • IPE occurs when students from two or more health professions learn with, from and about each other with the objective of cultivating collaborative practice to provide patient-centered health care. • The Core Curriculum is designed to start this process for all of our students. Translation from classroom to clinic • Already established providing students with opportunities to ‘learn by doing’ helps to ensure that the knowledge, skills and attitudes acquired will have a lasting impact on behavior (Tennant, 1997). • That’s why we were here before IPE • As in traditional health professions education, this also is key for IPE Tennant M. (1997) Psychology and Adult Learning. Routledge, London Challenges for IPE, especially during clinical years: • Time • Time • Time • Time Therefore, perhaps blend online and traditional learning Blended Learning: Potential tool for bridging two worlds • An option for overcoming barriers - schedule conflicts and geographic dispersion (Solomon, 2010, Luke, 2009) • Blended learning matched with interactive strategies such as discussion formats and case-based learning, can be more effective than face to face alone. (Campbell, 2008) Overview • Eight case-based, blended learning modules • Designed specifically to bridge the gap between didactic, largely campus-based IPE and clinical integration of the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed for entry level interprofessional collaborative practice in early clinical training • Generalizable and adaptable across institutions and across professions (SEC-IPE) • Support achieving and assessing educational outcomes in the IPEC competency domains Content • Collaborating to Improve Patient Safety and Quality – – – – Re-Introduction to Principles of Patient Safety Barriers to Quality Identifying and Proposing Solutions Reporting and Responding • Improving Transitions of Care (TOC) – – – – Understanding the Context: A Team Approach to TOC Teams, Teamwork and Health Literacy TOC: Social and Cultural Determinants of Health Tools and Teamwork to Support Effective TOC Structure for both PS and TOC • Individual preparation (e.g., readings) • Application (e.g., analyze case) • Teamwork (e.g., discuss and reach consensus on case) • Practice-based Learning (self and team evaluation of collaboration • Collaborating to Improve Patient Safety and Quality – Module 1: Re-Introduction to Principles of Patient Safety • Understanding medical error • Understanding unsafe acts • “To Err is Human” • Responding to and reporting errors • Importance of teamwork and communication • Analyze and discus fictitious cases – Module 2: Barriers to Quality • “To Err is Human” • Understanding safety in Ambulatory Chronic Disease (Sarker et al., 2009) • Analyze and discus fictitious cases “Real-world” Application? (Modules 3 - 4) • Scan clinical environment • identify issues or situations and/or contributing factors that impact the coordinated application of individual safety • Present to team with justification • Team comes to consensus on a case to analyze • Team Performs an analysis for final product (Module 4) • Improving Transitions of Care (TOC) – Module 1: Understanding the Context: A Team Approach to TOC • Risks associated with adverse event during TOC • Vulnerable populations associated with increased risk • Continuum of care in rural environment – Module 2: Teams, Teamwork and Health Literacy • Implications of health literacy and communication • Identify patient from vulnerable population and is preparing for TOC – Analyze and discuss and critique each others’ cases • “Real-world” Application? (Modules 3 - 4) – Module 3: TOC: Social and Cultural Determinants of Health • Bias, social and cultural determinants of health • Determine ONE case from Module 2 to use as case going foreword – Module 4:Tools and Teamwork to Support Effective TOC • “Elements of Excellence in Transitions of Care: Transition of Care Checklist" by the National Transitions of Care Coalition • Use knowledge gained thus far to develop TOC plan for the patient identified in Module 3 – Describe transition – Identify special circumstances – Determine priorities for TOC – Collaborate to determine plan Questions/Discussion Contact Us: Center for Interprofessional Healthcare Education, Research & Practice 292 Biopharm Complex (College of Pharmacy) 789 S.
