Abstract: 

The VA Centers of Excellence in Primary Care Education began educational activities in Academic Year 2011-2012 to improve primary care education, particularly to harmonize the education of clinician trainees with the emerging and future practice of primary care exemplified by patient centered care such as VA’s Patient Aligned Care Team model for primary care delivery. This volume shares examples of educational strategies that have
emerged from the first four academic years of the project, with each chapter being a case study from a participating site. Each case study reports on the implementation of a curricular element within their unique Center of Excellence. These case studies are intended to be of use to those interested in introducing curricular activities in accredited programs for health profession trainees that will lead to
the advancement of interprofessional, Veteran/patient-centered primary care. These case studies also represent one component of the project’s evaluation plan, designed by Annette Gardner, Ph.D. We have attempted to inform readers about the context of the institutions and readiness for change, the steps each program completed to design and develop strategies, gain leadership commitments,
implement, and evaluate these interventions in the spirit of continuous improvement. Additional reports about the project have been published, are in press, or are in the pipeline. Further, many of the references in this document have full-text available online. We have provided live links for ease of access to these additional resources.

Educational objectives: 

Shared Decision-Making: Care is aligned with the values, preferences and cultural perspectives of the patient. Curricula focus is on communication skills necessary to promote patient’s self-efficacy.


Sustained Relationships: Care is designated to promote continuity of care; curricula focus on longitudinal learning relationships.


Interprofessional Collaboration: Care is team based, efficient and coordinated, curricula focus is on developing trustful, collaborative relationships.


Performance Improvement: Care is designed to optimize the health of populations; curricula focus on using the methodology of continuous improvement in redesigning care to achieve quality outcomes.

Abstract: 

Older adults are exposed to multiple hazards during hospitalization resulting in multiple complications that limit their return to their functional and cognitive baseline. It is critical that healthcare providers are trained on best practices in the care of hospitalized older adults. This product is a monthlong module for M4 students during their Sub I rotation, that focuses on educating them on the hazards of hospitalization, best practices in the care of hospitalized older adults, issues that occur during transitions of care and best practices to ensure optimal transitions across care settings. The module starts with an initial lecture on hazards of hospitalization and best practices in the care of older adults. This is followed by assignments in which students are assigned older aduts to care for. Using a checklist, they evaluate the care that these patients have received and also implement best practices in the care of their patient. They also participate in an interdisciplinary team meeting that focuses on these aspects of care.  This is followed by another assignment in which they are involved in deciding on the most appropriate discharge care setting their patient. They subsequently place a post discharge call to their patient to identify any issues thay may have encountered post discharge and assist them in resolving some of these issues. Through the month, students share their experiences on blackboard, outlining hazards they identified in their patients,  challenges in implementing best practices, choice of discharge care setting and reasons for their choices along with care transitions issues identified in their patients. Additionally they are required to review educational materials and published articles posted on blackboard, focused on hazards of hospitalization, best practices in care, settings of care and transitions of care.  A final class is held with the students at the end of the month discussing the rotation and their experiences, with a focus on settings of care and best practices in transitions of care.

Educational objectives: 

At the end of this course, each participant will be able to:

1. Describe the hazards of hospitalization of older adults.

2. Evaluate the care and implement best practices in the management of a hospitalized older adult.

3. Enumerate the discharge options available in a particular case scenario.

4. Compare and contrast the problematic elements of care transition with those of an ideal care transition.

Abstract: 

With an aging population, the need to train primary care residents and geriatric fellows in home-based care continues to grow. A needs assessment of family medicine residents and geriatric fellows' attitudes and knowledge was performed to guide a novel, longitudinal home care curriculum based out of a Home-Based Primary Care practice within the Family Medicine Center.

Fellows are assigned a panel of two home visit patients from the Family Medicine Center's Home-Based Primary Care practice. Fellows follow these patients monthly and manage their care between visits.  In today’s rapidly changing clinical environment, primary care physicains and geriatricians must be adapt at analyzing systems and processes they work under and making changes to improve patient care. A new home visit program is a natural venue for a specific, achievable quality improvement intervention with support from faculty, the Home Based Primary Care practice team and the Family Medicine Center Patient and Family Advisory Council. 

The longitudinal family medicine resident curriculum is based on graded autonomy and focused objectives for each level with the ultimate goal of residents feeling empowered to include home visits in their future practice. After home visit sessions, residents complete personal, written reflections after each visit to optimize learning and retention, as well as for giving a venue for processing potentially challenging situations. Sample reflections are included. Third-year residents facilitate an interdisciplinary case conference to address various social determinants of health, home safety issues and medication concerns. By residency graduation, residents will complete 10-14 home visits. 

 
Educational objectives: 
  1. Describe challenges and opportunities unique to patient care in the home environment.  
  2. Review medication use and adherence while identifying medications that are no longer effective, are duplicative or carry greater burden than benefit.  Identify medications that you would recommend stopping and create a schedule for stopping these medications.
  3. Develop and implement a safety plan to make the patient’s home environment safer.
  4. Develop a personal plan to integrate home visits into your future practice.

Fellow-specific objectives:

  1. Develop, document and manage patient- and family-centered care plans related to patient’s health conditions and expected trajectory with emphasis on personal goals of care in collaboration with an interprofessional health care team and community service providers.
  2. Implement a process improvement as part of the Home Based Primary Care team.

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.
