Improving Digital Health Literacy and Health Outcomes Through the Interprofessional Community Scholars’ Program

To provide a community-based interprofessional education experience, we designed a pilot program centered on increasing digital health literacy among a group of older adults who served as Community Mentors (CM) to various health profession students. Digital literacy is the ability to seek, find, understand, and appraise health information from electronic sources. Studies show less than half of individuals are connected through reliable technology to broadband and even those who are connected…

Interprofessional Teaching Clinic Consult Service: Successes During a Pandemic

Just prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, faculty and students at Pennsylvania State university had begun piloting an Interprofessional Teaching Clinic (IPTC) Consult Service. On account of the pandemic, the IPTC abruptly transitioned from in-person encounters to operating remotely using a telehealth model. Patients “seen” at the IPTC are referred by their primary care physicians (PCP) due to belief that these patients would benefit from an interprofessional consultation. As with in-person visits…

Let’s Take This Online: Converting a Large-Scale Interprofessional Standardized Patient Exercise to a Virtual Platform

Simulation and standardized patients (SPs) provide valuable opportunities to improve interprofessional collaboration skills by allowing trainees to engage in authentic clinical settings, tasks, and roles. Since 2009, UCSF has conducted an annual Interprofessional Standardized Patient Exercise (ISPE). Each year, more than 500 learners from seven health professional schools (Chaplaincy, Dentistry, Dietetics, Nursing, Medicine, Pharmacy, and Physical Therapy) work in teams to evaluate a SP with…

Optimizing the Clinical Learning Environment: 5 Pivotal Lessons Learned from a 5 Year Longitudinal Interprofessional Practice and Education Model

To effectively support and optimize interprofessional practice and education, interprofessional faculty and clinical providers need to be purposeful in both the design of the curriculum and clinical learning environment. Design should be longitudinal, rooted in IPEC competencies, inclusive to all disciplines participating and centered on the needs of those served in the clinical environment. Boston University Community Health Alliance of Medical Professionals (BU CHAMPs) was created with…

Reducing Hospital Acquired Clostridiodes Difficile (C-Diff)

Clostridiodes difficile (C-Diff) is attributed as the most prevalent hospital associated infection in the United States and worldwide. The infection is caused by bacterial flora spores when they proliferate due to a medical treatment or condition. In 2017, there were an estimated 223,900 cases of C-Diff in hospitalized patients which lead to 12,800 patient deaths. Besides the death caused to patients, hospital acquired C-Diff infection cost healthcare facilities $1 billion in unreimbursed…

SHOW Experiential Learning 3-Course Series: Activating Community-Engaged Interprofessional Practice Through Innovative Interprofessional Education

The Student Health Outreach for Wellness (SHOW) tri-university initiative was formed in 2013 as a student-led volunteer program to deliver interprofessional (IP), team-based care to community-based vulnerable populations. Since its inception, SHOW attracted graduate and undergraduate students - numbering over 200 per year - from over 10 academic disciplines. However, this magnitude of students overwhelmed the initiative's philanthropic supported operations, prompting needed change for…

Successfully Incorporating Virtual Interprofessional Students with In-Person Patients in an Emergency Department

The COVID-19 pandemic forced health professional schools to develop virtual educational opportunities in clinical care. We transitioned our already established Interprofessional Educational Clinic to allow an interprofessional team of students to virtually provide care to emergency department (ED) patients. The telehealth ED experience occurred from Sept 2020 – March 2021. ED faculty physicians were physically present with the patients and an interprofessional team of 2-3 students joined the…

Tailoring the Development of Structured Interprofessional Bedside Rounds: The TeamingUP© Model to Relational Coordination Data Within a Stroke Unit

Introduction: Team coordination problems continue to be an important source of errors, inefficiencies, conflict and other adverse events in health care. Structured Interprofessional Bedside Rounds (SIBR) provide a consistent method for patients, families, and clinicians from different disciplines to collaborate in daily discussions of care and clinical decision-making. Here we explore baseline levels of Relational Coordination (RC) present within and between interprofessional (IP) members…
