Product of the Year

The 2015 Donald W. Reynolds’s Foundation Grantee's Meeting was as successful as ever. The annual gathering of geriatric clinician educators, held in St. Louis, MO in October, showcased the innovative work being produced throughout the country and gave an opportunity for collaborators to connect and network.

The Marketplace highlighted some of the educational products  institutions have created. Here is a list of the top three products presented at the Marketplace as voted on by the meeting participants.

University of Missouri * 1st Place *

• Palliative Care Case by Karli Urban, MD, Charles Crecelius, MD, PhD, CMD, Kevin Craig, MD, MSPH, Debbie Parker-Oliver, PhD, MSW, Lori Popejoy, PhD, APRN, GCNS-BC, Paul Tatum, MD, MSPH

Using a case study participants will follow an older patient who requires increasing levels of care. After breaking into interdisciplinary teams led by leaders in transitions of care, participants will discuss goals, long-term care planning, and transitions in and out of hospital.

University of California, San Francisco * 2nd Place *

• "TMI"... (Too Many Interpretations): Mr. Moore's Medication Misadventures! by Daphne Lo, MD, Rachael Lucatorto, MD, Marilyn Stebbins, PharmD, Sharya Bourdet, PharmD, Josette Rivera, MD, Brad Monash, MD, Anna Chang, MD, Joan Abrams, MPA

This two-hour interprofessional curriculum brings together fourth year medical students and pharmacy students in their clinical years in a hands-on, interactive small group session. Learners are assigned one of five roles on Mr. Moore's healthcare team and are supplied with knowledge unique to the team member. Learners discover and discuss discrepancies in high-risk medications, gain an appreciation of systems hurdles for patients and healthcare providers.

University of Texas at Southwestern * 3rd Place *

• Error Disclosure: An Interprofessional Clinical Skills Session by Tara DuVal, MD, Lynne Kirk, MD, Kim Hoggatt Krumwiede, MA, James Wagner, MD, Mindi Anderson, RN, Kathryn Daniel, MS, CPNP, PhD, Kristine Nelson, MSN, Judy L. LeFlore, MSN, CPNP, PhD, Carla Mosley

The goal of this clinical skills session is for students to gain skills in working in teams during a particularly difficult situation: the team disclosure of medical errors. There will be an encounter with a standardized patient (SP) acting as a family member, followed by feedback from the SP and for some students, a review of the recorded interview in a meeting with their mentors and mentor group.

Reynold's Meeting Plenary Presentations

All of the amazing presentations from the plenary sessions are now available on POGOe. The powerpoints are accessible and can be easily downloaded.
