In our past newsletter we described a meeting that took place February 2011 that previewed the core competencies presented by IPEC. We are pleased to announce that TJU has adopted four IPE core competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice, they are; Values/Ethics‐ Respect the unique cultures, values, roles/responsibilities and expertise of other health professionals; Roles/ Responsibilities‐ Explain the roles and responsibilities of other health/healthcare providers and how the team works together to provide care; Interprofessional Communication‐ Work to ensure common understanding of information, treatment, and health/healthcare decisions by listening actively, communicating effectively, encouraging ideas and opinions of other team members and expressing one’s knowledge and opinions with confidence clarity and respect; Team and Teamwork‐ Reflect on the attributes of highly functioning teams and demonstrate the responsibilities and practices of effective team member(s).

Jeff-CHAT Offers students an Interprofessional Forum to Discuss Experiences http://jdc.jefferson.edu/jcipe/vol4/iss1/2 http://jdc.jefferson.edu/jcipe/vol4/iss1/2 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 07:21:20 PDT Feelings of frustration, loss, and exhaustion are common among healthcare workers. Students placed among new experiences and in a dependent learning role are not shielded from these emotions but often experience them differently from other members of the healthcare team. In addition to the systematic and individual support available through TJUH, for the past year and a half Jeff‐ CHAT (Compassion, Humanism, Altruism, Trust) has provided a forum for students to discuss and reflect on difficult emotions and situations.

Six Sigma Methodology applied to Immediate Use Sterilization at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital http://jdc.jefferson.edu/jcipe/vol4/iss1/1 http://jdc.jefferson.edu/jcipe/vol4/iss1/1 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 07:21:17 PDT Immediate use sterilization, also known as flash sterilization, is an expedited sterilization process used for surgical equipment needed in emergent clinical situations. Immediate use sterilization is a procedure used by Operating Room staff members to sterilize instrumentation on an as needed or just in time basis when instruments needed for a particular case are not immediately available or become contaminated in the course of the case. If instrumentation is not sterilized appropriately, the patient’s safety is possibly put at risk from the potential of surgical site infections. No specific literature data directly correlates immediate use sterilization with surgical site infection. However, eliminating this variable enables infection control to focus prevention efforts elsewhere.

]]> Developing a Tool to Assess Students' Attitudes toward Chronic Illness http://jdc.jefferson.edu/jcipe/vol3/iss1/4 http://jdc.jefferson.edu/jcipe/vol3/iss1/4 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 12:21:20 PST The goals of many interprofessional programs involvechanging students' attitudes. Jefferson Attitudes towardChronic Illness Survey (Jefferson CIS), which has beenused to assess the attitudes of perceptions toward chronicillness care of nearly 2,000 Jefferson students since 2007,provides a case study of some of the best practices used todevelop a credible tool to evaluate attitudinal changefollowing curricula designed to improve chronic illnesscare skills. Previous work demonstrates that healthprofessionals and students often report negative biasestowards care of those with chronic illness or disability.1,2,3 Although the details are available elsewhere,4 thefollowing highlights key methods and representativefindings from the initial validation study for the Survey.

Selected Interprofessional Activities at the University Clinical Skills & Simulation Center http://jdc.jefferson.edu/jcipe/vol3/iss1/2 http://jdc.jefferson.edu/jcipe/vol3/iss1/2 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 12:21:16 PST Interprofessional simulation has been a mainstay of a Jefferson education for almost a decade. Since the opening of the Hamilton Building in 2007, opportunities for interprofessional simulation have grown exponentially at the University. In response to this rapid growth, an Interprofessional Simulation Curriculum Committee (ISCC) was established by Dr. Michael Vergare, Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs in 2010. Committee members include representatives from nursing, medicine, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and pharmacy. The overarching goal of the ISCC is to promote and support the development of interprofessional education via simulation as a teaching/ learning strategy for faculty and students on campus. To achieve this goal, the committee offers both individual consultation, as well as faculty development programs.

We are pleased to describe the launch of two reports essential to interprofessional education and practice in the United States that occurred on May 11, 2011: Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice and Team-Based Competencies, Building a Shared Foundation for Education and Clinical Practice. The first report, Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice, was produced by an expert panel convened in 2009 by the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC), a unique partnership of six associations - the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine, the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, the American Dental Education Association, the Association of American Medical Colleges, and the Association of Schools of Public Health. The panel proposed four domains of core competencies needed to provide integrated, collaborative, high-quality, cost-effective care to patients within the nation's current, evolving health care system.

]]> Exploring and Evaluating Interprofessional Training: A Brief Overview http://jdc.jefferson.edu/jcipe/vol3/iss2/4 http://jdc.jefferson.edu/jcipe/vol3/iss2/4 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:14:29 PST This paper provides a general overview of an upcoming

evaluation plan with JCIPE that began this fall. This plan was

constructed primarily because although numerous training

institutions have constructed and implemented various courses

and programs designed to provide students with extensive

learning opportunities steeped in interprofessional education

(IPE)1-3, projects employing longitudinal and/or mixed-methods

approaches to understanding the multi-faceted barriers to and

facilitators of IPE within health professions training have been

quite limited. Similarly, few evaluation plans have attempted to

unearth if and how students are exposed to interprofessional

values outside of IPE-specific programs or how these team-based

values may translate to students’ later professional practice.

During her intake, she confided to her nurse that she is probably about 7 months pregnant with no prenatal care. Only her boyfriend knew. Her parents were oblivious. Noelle was petrified to tell her mother of the pregnancy. Mom arrived on the labor floor about thirty minutes later and was shocked to discover her daughter’s condition. The physician explained the situation to Mom. Noelle was 30 weeks pregnant, hypertensive with seizures. Mom could barely comprehend her daughter’s illness, much less the realization that there was also a baby, one who would be premature if born today. Mom heard discussions among the staff and more medications were administered. Noelle’s mom blurted out comments of “seizure”, “high blood pressure”, “magnesium”, “emergency cesarean section", "delivery” echoed around her. Mom’s concern was not for the baby but only her daughter’s safety. “What about my daughter? Don’t worry about the baby; make sure my daughter is ok.” Mom sat in the chair, defeated and frightened, sobbing intermittently. Noelle was rolled out of the room to the OR…

Interprofessional Education in a Department of Urology http://jdc.jefferson.edu/jcipe/vol3/iss2/2 http://jdc.jefferson.edu/jcipe/vol3/iss2/2 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:12:50 PST Optimum health care delivery requires increasing reliance allied health care professionals who are members of highly functioning teams. However, few allied health care professionals are trained in the specific field of urology. Within our urology department, care of patients is fragmented into different segments with little to no crossover of staff. Patient care may benefit from specialty training and additional education sessions for those involved in patient care. Interprofessional Education (IPE) offers a potential way to improve collaboration and may enhance healthcare outcomes.

Since our last edition, we have had some changes at JCIPE. First, founding Co-Director Dr. Molly Rose has begun a phased retirement and stepped down from her JCIPE position. Although parting is always bittersweet, we are thrilled that Molly is continuing to champion interprofessional education from her position in the Jefferson School of Nursing (JSN), and also still serving as chair of our Evaluation Workgroup. At the same time, transitions bring us the joy of new partners – and we are delighted to introduce Elizabeth Speakman, EdD, RN, CDE, ANEF as the new Co-Director of JCIPE. Liz has been a nurse educator for 27 years. She came to JSN in 2003. She has served as Assistant Dean of the RN-to-BSN program and most recently as Associate Dean for Student Affairs.
