Abstract: 

Care teams often don't know how to effectively and efficiently collaborate when addressing a patient’s health. Depending on a patient’s needs, team leadership can shift at any given moment from one person to another. Because of this constant jockeying and adaptation, educating learners about their own interprofessional relationships is becoming incredibly important. These videos and the corresponding text supplements provide a context for interprofessional team members to discover more about what it takes to become a member of another profession. This knowledge, combined with their own experiences and clinical practice, will assist in preparing learners for the next-generation of team-based healthcare.

Educational objectives: 

After watching these short 2-3 minute videos, interprofessional teams will be able to contextualize their own relationship within the group dynamic, understand the educational requirements that go into other disciplines, and formulate an effective team-based learning approach for future activities.

Abstract: 

Although estimates vary, it is generally believed that 11% of the elderly are abused. According to the National Incidence Study on Elder Abuse, approximately 450,000 elderly experienced abuse each year. If self-neglect is included, the number increases to 551,000. Elder mistreatment is too large of a problem for any one person or one discipline to resolve. Incorporating the expertise of all the members of the interprofessional healthcare team is critical to determine the facts in the situation and the motives of the people involved. Healthcare providers can only see what is presented in the clinical setting. There is so much of the story that may not be manifested in a routine exam and encounter. Having all team members knowledgeable about the sometimes subtle signs of elder mistreatment is helpful for eliciting information and devising a holistic intervention plan.

The University of North Texas Health Science Center (UNTSHC) Reynolds Interprofessional Geriatric Education and Training in Texas (IGET-IT) Program has developed an Elder Mistreatment module as part of the Interprofessional Communication Improvement Modules (ICIM) Elder Safety series. The ICIM Elder Safety modules were created in collaboration with the National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners (NBOME) and are supported, in part, by a grant from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation. The goal of the Elder Safety ICIMs is to provide innovative and sustainable programs to improve the ability of physicians to work with other health disciplines in teams to provide better care for geriatric patients. The care of older adults can be very complex and studies have shown that a team approach can be most effective in leading to quality outcomes.

 

Educational objectives: 

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Define “elder mistreatment”
  • Describe the prevalence of elder mistreatment in the US
  • Define the multiple forms of elder mistreatment
  • Identify risk factors for elder mistreatment
  • List indicators of elder mistreatment
  • Prioritize the steps of elder mistreatment assessment
  • Determine the approach for including an elder mistreatment assessment in an IP team model of geriatric assessment

Abstract: 

Each year, one in every three adults ages 65 or older falls and 2 million are treated in emergency departments for fall-related injuries. The risk of falling increases with each decade of life. The long-term consequences of fall injuries, such as hip fractures and traumatic brain injuries (TBI), can impact the health and independence of older adults. However, falls are not necessarily an inevitable part of aging. In fact, many falls can be prevented. All healthcare professionals can take actions to protect older adults.

The University of North Texas Health Science Center (UNTSHC) Reynolds Interprofessional Geriatric Education and Training in Texas (IGET-IT) Program has developed a Fall Risk Assessment and Education module as part of the Interprofessional Communication Improvement Modules (ICIM) Elder Safety series. The ICIM Elder Safety modules were created in collaboration with the National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners (NBOME) and are supported, in part, by a grant from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation. The goal of the Elder Safety ICIMs is to provide innovative and sustainable programs to improve the ability of physicians to work with other health disciplines in teams to provide better care for geriatric patients. The care of older adults can be very complex and studies have shown that a team approach can be most effective in leading to quality outcomes.

Educational objectives: 

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Describe risk factors associated with falls in older adults using a comprehensive fall risk assessment.
  • Identify examination components to assess for fall risk.
  • Describe how neurocognitive features can contribute to the risk of falls.
  • Identify four essential tests to assess neurocognitive features.
  • Describe how sensory factors impact the risk of falls.
  • Identify exams to assess sensory factors.
  • Identify the prescription, nonprescription, nutritional supplements, and food/drug interactions that are most frequently associated with an increased fall risk.
  • Discuss polypharmacy and its impact on fall risk.
  • Examine the evidence behind nutritional supplements that may help reduce fractures from falls.

Abstract: 

According to estimates, 50% of older adults will have an operation after the age of 65 with postoperative delirium being the most common complication in this age group. Even though delirium is common, the diagnosis is often overlooked and improperly treated. The American Geriatric Society surveyed surgical specialists and found that delirium was the geriatric clinical issue having the largest knowledge gap. Most surgical training programs still have little geriatric care incorporated explicitly into the curricula, and little explicit assessment of skills in caring for older patients. There is still a significant gap in formalized delirium education in surgical training programs. Our goal is to address this gap with this postoperative delirium curriculum for general surgery residents. Our objective is that through this geriatric surgical curriculum with a foundation consisting of delirium prevention, assessment, and management will ultimately lead to improved surgical care outcomes for older adults. This is a case based guide to compliment an online module through the Surgical Council of Resident Education (SCORE) website. We designed an online module on the SCORE website on postoperative delirium and this is an interactive case based small group exercise along with pre-post test, mini-cex, pocket card, and consultant check sheet. The case will require learners to go through a real surgical case, identify and modify risk factors, do delirium risk assessment, use a validated delirium screening tool (4AT), and come up with prevention and treatment options.

Educational objectives: 

After completion of the curriculum, the surgical resident will be able to:

  1. Identify the pathophysiological causes of postoperative delirium.
  2. Identify risk factors for the development of postoperative delirium.
  3. Recognize interventions to prevent postoperative delirium.
  4. Describe the common presentation of delirium and be able to distinguish delirium from dementia and depression.
  5. Recognize evidence based assessment tools (e.g. 3D CAM, 4AT, etc.) as reliable ways to screen for postoperative delirium.
  6. Describe the major effects that delirium has on surgical and patient outcomes.
  7. Correctly employed a validated delirium assessment tool (e.g. 4AT) to screen postoperative delirium in non-ICU older confused surgical patient.
  8. Calculate the correct delirium risk assessment score for a case scenario.
  9. Propose strategies for mitigating preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative risk factors for a common general surgery case scenario.
  10. Identify "best-practice" non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic treatment strategies to manage postoperative delirium given a case scenario   
  11. Demonstrate to their attending or geriatric consultant the correct use of a validated delirium assessment tool to screen for postoperative delirium in non-ICU older confused surgical patient. 
  12. Perform prevention measures and monitor delirium development via evidence based assessment method (e.g 4AT) prior to geriatric consult.   

As a result of the curriculum, surgical residents will rate as important that surgeons should know:

1. Treatment strategies for postoperative delirium.

2. How to screen for postoperative delirium using a validated assessment tool.       

3. Strategies to prevent postoperative delirium.
