Abstract: 

Research suggests that good interdisciplinary team communication leads to improved patient and family outcomes (i.e., high levels of patient and family satisfaction, symptom control, and reductions in length of stay and hospital costs). The purpose of the interdisciplinary team is to foster regular, structured and expert communication among health professionals from different disciplines in order to establish, prioritize, and achieve patient treatment goals.

Interdisciplinary team communication is vital in an inpatient healthcare setting, as the complex nature and demands of the healthcare work environment requires the expertise and knowledge of differing disciplines or specialists who can work together to solve multifaceted and complex patient care problems. Interdisciplinary teamwork can improve the diagnostic and prognostic abilities of health professionals more than individual health professionals working alone.

The IDT conference focuses on:
1.    Establishing the patient’s progress toward medical goals;
2.    Considering possible resolutions of any problems that could impede the patient’s progress toward these goals;
3.    Reassessing the goals previously established, if needed; and
4.    Monitoring and revising the treatment plan, as needed

Educational objectives: 

At the end of this module, the student should be able to:
1.    Define the concept of interdisciplinary team care;
2.    Describe the professional role and scope of practice of individual members of an interdisciplinary health care team;
3.    Learn to structure an IDT Conference;
4.    Understand the goals of the IDT Conference;
5.    Identify ways to run an IDT Conference effectively; and
6.    Discuss common pitfalls of the IDT Conference

Abstract: 

A small-group instructional session on breaking bad news has been a component of the medical student curriculum in the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine’s Longitudinal Theme in Geriatrics, Pain Management and Palliative Care for many years. The session used two complex clinical scenarios; each unfolding over 3-parts (see van Zuilen, et. al., at www.mededportal.org/publication/9604). For several years, faculty/facilitators expressed anxiety and uncertainty in their abilities to facilitate these complex scenarios using role-playing. In order to address faculty concerns the lead author developed a variety of shorter cases that progress through increasingly more difficult clinical scenarios. The author used these shorter clinical scenarios over several years and the sessions were rated equally well by students compared to the original cases. The faculty curriculum developers believed this new format lent itself to recording as a multimedia module: shorter cases more readily demonstrate the skills of delivering bad news. This recorded instructional activity was prepared and produced through a collaborative effort between faculty and students. We believe this recorded adaptation of the breaking bad news session provides a valuable learning opportunity and resource for faculty, especially those with limited experience in facilitating role-playing instructional activities. One drawback in using shorter cases is that students have a limited opportunity to practice the structured format (Buckman’s 6-step or SPIKES) for delivering bad news. Students may need to be given other opportunities in the curriculum to demonstrate their competency in using a structure format.

Educational objectives: 

Learning objectives for Faculty/Facilitators

Abstract: 

Assessing and treating pain in older adults is of critical importance for nearly all health care providers. Back pain is a common, costly, disabling, yet under-addressed condition in this population. Specifically, musculoskeletal conditions, such as back pain - the focus of this educational module - are the leading causes of pain as adults age. This self-directed, web-based, interactive educational module addresses the evaluation and management of back pain in older adults. The audience for this module is anyone who provides care (both out-patient and in-patient) for older adults with back pain.

Educational objectives: 

1) Summarize the prevalence and impact of back pain in older persons.

2) Describe how to clinically evaluate back pain including a detailed examination.

3) List the differential diagnosis of back pain in older persons.

4) Explain how to manage the most common etiologies of back pain in older adults.

4) Summarize the risks, benefits and guidelines for specific pharmacologic management of back pain in older adults and how to minimize and monitor for adverse effects.

Abstract: 

Using the Assessing Care of Vulnerable Elders (or ACOVE) paradigm and the principles of Academic Detailing, Aging Q3 is developing curricula on 16 different topics for teaching residents about providing quality care to elderly patients. Aging Q3 uses a sequence of multiple interventions where residents learn and experience the practice of Geriatrics in the clinical setting with limited interruption to the process of patient care. Each ACOVE is featured for 3 months. The curriculum includes a resident lecture during one of the residents' scheduled noon conferences, a handout used by the faculty to detail the resident on the issue during precepting or rounds, a poster which is displayed strategically in resident areas of the hospital and clinic, and observed demonstration and assessment of a defined skill. In the clinic, Residents are "cued" to address the featured issue with their elder patients by a "Blue Sheet" which contains a few brief questions on the ACOVE topic that the Patient Care Technician or Nurse have discussed with the patient during intake. A "Yellow Sheet" cues the Resident to address the featured issue on the hospital wards. Residents are assessed pre and post on knowledge, skill, and attitude by a Survey Monkey questionnaire.

The Urinary Incontinence and Aging "ACOVE" is number 15 of 16 different curricula being developed in Aging Q3.

Educational objectives: 
  • Understand the characteristics of primary types of incontinence
  • Demonstrate an initial workup/management of incontinence
  • Understand the importance of removing foley catheters
  • Define valid indications for inpatient foley catheters
