Introduction
This paper aims to discuss a problem in the healthcare system and the possible solutions to solve the problem. Critical healthcare problems impact healthcare facilities in the United States, which stimulates procedures to please the contending necessity to provide reasonable standard care and nursing staff who offers the services. This paper aims to define the strategies and policies to discourse the contending necessity of providing safe and standard care to the sick and the needs of the workers who provide the services. The paper also outlines an issue in healthcare and any influence factors within the healthcare system.
Problem Identification
The healthcare institutions' major goal is to provide the target populations with standard, actual, and better patient care possible, but the healthcare providers scarcity impacts this aim's accomplishment. The rise of nurses’ scarcity influences medical care delivery to the sick and healthcare organizations' financial growth. Varying nurse-to-patient percentage compromises the provision of superior care, which impacts patients’ safety and outcomes.
Background
The nursing scarcity began in 1998 and not only continues but is to become worse. The root of the current shortage is three-fold; an inadequate supply of nurses, an elderly population, and an elderly employee. The baby boomers are going to their golden years. Between 2010 and 2030, one in every five individuals will be a pensioner. The internal sources of nursing scarcities comprise; increased obligation for unlicensed employees, long working periods, and remuneration problems.
Problem Analysis
The current research reveals that nursing shortage can be the contributing aspect that forces the medical providers to be allocated a large number of patients to a medical provider. The contending necessity of the medical care personnel is the main issue affecting the nursing shortage, which requires a practice set by the healthcare administrations while bearing in mind the inadequate resources to gratify the necessity (Friganović et al., 2019). Thus, there is a prerequisite for establishing a strategy that stabilizes medical care money-generating needs and the workforce's contending situations. Patients might benefit from the more outstanding care the nurses provide by achieving a balance of the necessities.
DMEP is a strategy that necessitates all medical care employees to report all errors planned at fostering comprehensive ethical procedures by having Medicare employees responsible for their operations for decreasing or eliminating clinical mistakes. Nurses’ shortage influences the effectiveness of DMEP because when the work of the nurse increases due to staff shortage, the risk of health blunders becomes inevitable, which often goes unreported.

Patients who have complex health needs require not only medical. But also social services and support from a variety of caregivers and providers. Facility managers who are part of care coordination could assist patient in receiving optimal care by addressing the challenges in coordinating care for these patients, and offer programmatic changes and policies that help deliver the best services to all patients.
Facility managers can come up with strategic plans based on prior data and make necessary changes based on preexisting conditions. “Patient- centered, comprehensive, coordinated, and accessible care that continuously improved through a systems-based approach to quality and safety” (AHRQ, 2012) are what’s needed to achieve the highest quality care possible in any health care facility.
Patient centered care can’t be achieved with providers only. It requires team work and collaboration among all stakeholders. To improve the quality and safety of patients, health care facility managers can work hand and hand with the coordinated team to provide a system based approach by drawing on decision-support tools, taking into account patient experience, and using population health management approach. Patient preference and needs on what aspects of care to be improved.

As a facility manager, and part of the care coordination team, I would look into models of care that would assist our situation. With the Affordable Care Act in place, there are accountable care organizations (ACOs), which provide models of care (“Promise,” 2013). There are many different definitions and perspectives on care coordination, but all lead to the goal of meeting patient needs and providing adequate healthcare (“Care,” 2014).
Care coordination is essential because each patient can interact with a variety of professionals each visit. For example, for a routine physical appointment, the patient could meet with the scheduling staff, medical assistants, nurses, doctors, pharmacists, and the billing staff. If each one of these member fails to coordinate as a whole, the patient could be harmed or neglected. As a care coordinator, I would be responsible for discussing an individualized care plan with each patient and ensuring that they understand their responsibilities. All barriers should be identified, such as financial, social (language), psychological, and anything that would effect the patient from following their correct plan of care and interacting with the staff (“Promise,” 2013). Another key point is to ensure the medical staff has reviewed the patient’s medical records and ensure that everyone is on the same page. These are just a few examples, because each case is different and each patient will have different needs. .

Community Nursing Practice Model
The prevalence of illness among poor urban and rural populations increase the demand for critical care services. However, there is a shortage for physicians who can take up responsibilities in the community health sector. Among the efforts in place to strengthen the human resource is the growing interest to have nurses in advance practices participate inpatient care at the community health level. By applying the community, nursing practice model advanced practice nurses are better prepared to deliver care and outcomes to patients in poor communities.
The Community Nursing Practice Model
The community nursing model plays an essential role in ensuring that less privileged communities can access better healthcare by providing a framework for community nurses to focus on entire populations that have similar health concerns or characteristics. For example, a society where there are reproductive health issues, nurses applying this model in such a community will be able to know what the needs of the community are as far as reproductive health is concerned (Maclaine, 2014).
The model considers all levels of prevention, which include primary prevention whereby the advanced practice nurses promote health and protect against threats to health in the community. For example, carrying out awareness in the community on sexually transmitted diseases and distributing latex condoms in the community (Maclaine, 2014). Another level of prevention is secondary prevention, which involves the community nurses’ practitioners detecting and treating problems at the early stage of detection so that the health problem does not cause serious problems or affect others. The last level of prevention involves the community nurse practitioner preventing existing problems from getting worse.
The MSN Essential
Clinical prevention and population health are one of the MSN essential that is relevant to the community nursing practice. The underlying notion of this MSN essential is recognizing that masters prepared nurse applies and integrates a good organizational, patient-centered and culturally appropriate idea in planning to deliver and managing of clinical prevention and community care services to individuals and families (AACN, 2011). Under this essential, it is well elaborated that a master’s degree level nurse should be able to synthesize broad social determinants of health and data from epidemiology to design and deliver clinical interventions to the communities in need while using relevant strategies.
In summary,the model has transcended values of respect, care, and wellness, which are essential in primary health care. The CNP and MSN essential provide a framework for nurses who want to practice in the community health sector and especially for advanced care nurses. The model depicts community health nursing practitioners as an essential part of an interdisciplinary team that includes phys ...

Importance of teamwork communication in nursing practiceAhmed Alkhaqani
In today’s healthcare system, the delivery process includes many interfaces and patient handouts between several health professionals with further education and professional training levels. As a health care science, nursing focuses on serving the needs of humans as biopsychosocial and spiritual beings. Its practice requires scientific knowledge and interpersonal, intellectual, and technical abilities and skills. This means a composition of knowledge, clinical work, and interpersonal communication. Communication is an essential element of nursing in all fields of activity, including prevention, treatment, therapy, rehabilitation, education, and health promotion. Moreover, the nursing process as a scientific method of exercise and implementation of nursing is achieved through dialogue, interpersonal environment, and specific verbal communication skills. Therefore, effective clinical practice involves several cases in which they must clearly communicate important information. Nurses are the heart of the fundamental strengthening of the health system and the basis of providing basic health services. They bring the care that is centered on people to communities where it is most needed, which helps improve overall health results and the cost-effectiveness of the service. Nurses are generally the first responders to complex humanitarian crises and disasters, community protectors, advocates, communication and coordination experts. Nurse communication skills are crucial but difficult to master them.
Patient and family centered care is a model that places the patient and family at the center of the healthcare team. It aims to include patients and families in decision making by providing education so they are well informed. This model focuses on individualizing care according to a patient's needs, values and preferences. Several healthcare disciplines are involved in ensuring patient and family centered care is provided. Key aspects include collaboration, leadership, and cultural competency among the healthcare team.

Discussion 1 George
Introduction
Teamwork is a significant aspect of health care delivery. With the increasing complexity and specialization of clinical care, healthcare workers have
to learn more complicated methods and procedures to achieve the desired patient outcomes. Teamwork is associated with reduced medical errors and
improve patient safety. Additionally, teamwork reduces staff burnout since a healthcare professional team is responsible for patient welfare (Zajac et al.,
2021). Various strategies are key to ensuring effective teamwork for better patient outcomes.
Strategies for effective teamwork during patient care
Effective communication across staff members of a clinical team increases teamwork efficacy, leading to improved patient outcomes. Working
towards a common goal, effective communication expands the traditional roles of each member to make decisions as a team (Zajac et al., 2021). One
particular strategy that worked for my clinical team is goal setting at the beginning of the scheduled activities so that each member has a clear purpose
for their roles for the day. Several studies also agree that goal setting provides the direction for implementing procedures and coordinated care.
Organizing regular meetings and using digital communication platforms such as emails and WhatsApp groups to convey information relating to patient
care to team members and debate suggestion is key to improving performance and, ultimately, patient outcomes.
Another effective team strategy is collaboration. By definition, health care involves multiple disciplines- nurses, doctors, and health care specialists
in different fields, working together, communicating often, and sharing resources (Zajac et al., 2021). A clinical team is made up of professionals of
different health specialities and responsibilities. Cumulatively, these differences contribute to the overall patient well-being and safety. The different
teams contribute to patient outcomes by understanding the patient presenting illness, asking them probing questions regarding their situation, making
an initial evaluation, discussing, and providing a recommendation based on their findings.
Strategies for ineffective teamwork during patient care
It is common for challenges to arise during teamwork. According to Hendrick et al. (2017), some of the most common challenges that impede a
team’s efforts to improve patient care include a lack of commitment of team members, different individual team members’ goals, and conflict
about how the team members individually relate to the patient. The input of individual members is vital to realizing the overall team’s goal. Therefore,
each member must demonstrate full commitment to the course of the team. Also, if the goals of the individual members do not align with the team’s
goal, then they might be less committed to achieving the team’s goal (Rawlinson et al., 2021). The healthcare team should help the patient understand
that their care is multidisci ...

Core Communication Competencies in
Patient-Centered Care
Abstract: Effective communication between the patient
and nurse is an essential requirement for nursing practice
and for patient-centered care. Nursing faculty that teach
in undergraduate and graduate nursing programs play
a signiflcant role in preparing the nursing workforce to
communicate effectively and provide patient-centered care.
Patient-centered care, interprofessional collaboration, and
informatics are necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes
for nurses across educational levels in order to meet the
needs of patients, and improve the quality and safety of the
health care system environment. The focus of this article is to
provide information on core nursing competencies for effective
communication and to discuss communication tools used in
patient-centered care, interprofessional collaboration, and
informatics.
Key Words: Communication, Nurse, Patient-Centered Care,
Interprofessional Collaboration, Informatics
In the last decade the Institute of Medicine (IOM) hasreleased reports that address quality and safety in healthcare systems, health professions and nursing (IOM, 1999,
2001,2003a, 2003b, 2010). A core component of quality care
is patient-centered care. Patient centered care is care based on
a partnership between the patient, their families, and the health
care provider that is focused on the patient's values, preferences,
and needs. Effective communication between the patient and
health professionals is an essential requirement for patient-
centered care (IOM, 2001). Furthermore, health professions
education should include core competencies in patient-centered
care in order to meet the needs of patients and the changing
health care system (IOM, 2003a). Nursing faculty play a
significant role in preparing the nursing workforce to provide
patient-centered care and to communicate effectively. Patient-
centered care, interprofessional collaboration, and informatics
are necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs) for pre-
licensure nurses and nurses returning for graduate education in
order to communicate effectively and to improve the quality and
safety of the health care system environment (Cronenwett, et
al., 2007; Cronenvvett,et al.,2009; Massachusetts Department of
Higher Education Nurse of the Future Competency Committee,
2010)). This article will synthesize core nursing competencies
The ABNF Journal
for effective communication and patient-centered care and
discuss communication tools used in patient-centered care,
interprofessional collaboration, and informatics. Existing
communication competencies from nursing and health
professional resources are interrelated and important for
nursing faculty in curriculum development, and it is equally
important for nursing students to comprehend the concept of
communication when providing patient-centered care.

of life.
This document discusses field experience in public health nursing education. It begins by defining public health and public health nursing. The importance of field experience for nursing students is discussed in developing knowledge of community health concepts, epidemiology, and public health skills. Challenges faced during field experiences are outlined, including lack of community health nurse positions and student preparedness. Problems are addressed by emphasizing the importance of community-oriented training. The conclusion reiterates that public health affects all communities and its invisible work must continue to address health challenges.

Chemotherapy Combined with Intraperitoneal Perfusion Chemotherapy for Gastric...Ross Finesmith M.D.
Gastric cancer is a common cancer with relatively poor survival rates. Early detection improves survivability, but clinical symptoms often do not present until late stages of the disease. Gastric resection and intravenous chemotherapy are the current accepted standard treatment. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy has been utilized in other abdominal cancers with moderate success. This systematic meta-analysis included randomized control studies that compared gastric cancer outcome data between post-operative subjects that received intravenous chemotherapy alone vs those that received intravenous plus intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
Behavioral emergencies are a common and serious problem for the patient, family, community and healthcare personnel, including first responders. Behavioral emergencies are complex situations that are often in dynamic, changing environments. The diagnosis of the individual is not available or provisional and decision-making time is limited. Behavioral emergencies require urgent intervention often times with limited information and staff often need to rapidly change intervention strategies as new information becomes available.
There is growing interest in the use remote telemedicine consulting to enhance the clinical medical care in areas with populations that cannot support the demand for such expertise. Neurological disorders lend themselves to the visual benefits of telemedicine.
Efficacy and Behavioral Benefits of the Use of Lamictal in the Treatment the ...Ross Finesmith M.D.
Adult patients with medically refractory epilepsy and a developmental disability were treated with the anti-convulsive, lamotrigine (Lamictal). The study measured the change in frequency of seizures and behavioral problems. There were significant improves in both outcome measures. The behavioral benefits may be related to a reduction in seizure frequency and subsequent improved cognitive functioning. It is also possible the reduction in behavioral problems was a result of the mood stabilizing effects of lamotrigine.
This document discusses community-based treatment of epilepsy in developmentally disabled individuals. It notes that many principles of antiepileptic drug therapy for non-disabled individuals also apply to those with developmental disabilities, but that treating physicians face additional challenges. These include a higher rate of difficult-to-control seizures, limited ability to do diagnostic testing due to cognitive impairments, and greater risk of adverse drug effects. It also discusses the trend toward deinstitutionalization and relocation of developmentally disabled individuals to community settings, increasing the need for community physicians to treat their medical issues like epilepsy. The role of legal guardians, family members, and group home staff in providing care and information is also covered.
Magnesium Prevents the Cerebral Palsy Precursor in Premature InfantsRoss Finesmith M.D.
To determine if magnesium sulfate has an effect on the development of cystic
periventricular leukomalacia in preterm infants, this retrospective case control study
was conducted. There were 23,382 infants born at three teaching hospitals in the metropolitan New York area from January 1992 to December 1994. Four hundred ninety-two infants met our entrance criteria. Criteria included a birth weight less than 750 g, survival to at least 7 days of life and at least one cranial ultrasound after 7 days of life.
Infants exposed to magnesium sulfate in utero were less likely to develop periventricular
leukomalacia. Two of 18 (11%) infants with periventricular leukomalacia were
exposed to magnesium sulfate in-utero compared to 14 of 36 controls (39%) (p =
0.035) (OR = 0.196, 95% Cl = 0.039-0.988). Pre-eclampsia as an independent factor
was not associated with a reduced risk (p = 0.251) (OR = 0.294, 95% Cl =
0.033-2.65). Preterm infants exposed to antenatal magnesium sulfate were found to
have a reduced risk of developing cystic periventricular leukomalacia.
This document summarizes a study reviewing cases of inhibitory motor seizures, which cause transient paralysis. The study reports two new cases and reviews 26 previous cases. Most adult patients had lesions in the frontoparietal motor cortex associated with seizures over 2-3 minutes. Some had mesial temporal lesions associated with seizures under 1.5 minutes. Inhibitory motor seizures are underrecognized and cause focal paralysis by inhibiting motor pathways rather than stimulating them as in convulsive seizures. The two new cases showed prolonged inhibitory motor status lasting days, which resolved quickly with benzodiazepines.
This document discusses the use of telemedicine in stroke care and rehabilitation. It begins by outlining current stroke therapies and limitations in access to care, particularly in remote areas. It then discusses how telestroke programs using videoconferencing have improved access to acute stroke expertise and increased administration of thrombolysis. Studies show telestroke allows accurate clinical assessments and treatment decisions. The document also examines how telemedicine can support neurorehabilitation through telerehabilitation programs, allowing remote monitoring and therapy that achieves outcomes similar to in-person care. Overall, the document argues that telemedicine improves stroke care and access to expertise.
Parenting a child with ADHD requires providing structure, organization, and support at home and school. At home, parents should help the child keep their bedroom and homework space neat and clutter-free. Establishing consistent daily routines and ensuring the child gets enough sleep, exercise and nutrition can help manage ADHD symptoms. At school, parents should help the child organize their backpack and supplies by color-coding folders and notebooks. They may also need to work with teachers to implement classroom accommodations or develop an education plan. Seeking help from mental health or medical professionals can provide additional support and treatment options like medication therapy.
Through neurofeedback training, children with ADHD learn to decrease excess theta wave activity in the prefrontal cortex and increase beta wave activity, which helps them better sustain attention and focus. Neurofeedback works by operantly conditioning the brain's EEG patterns over time from an "ADHD" state to one more similar to typically developing children. Studies show neurofeedback can remediate ADHD symptoms by helping children gain control over their thalamocortical brain rhythms and alertness levels through biofeedback of their EEG measurements.
ADHD is a common neurodevelopmental disorder affecting approximately 5% of children and 4% of adults in the US. It is characterized by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It is diagnosed based on whether these symptoms interfere with daily functioning. Treatment involves lifestyle changes, behavioral therapy, and medication like stimulants. With early diagnosis and treatment, most people with ADHD can lead normal, productive lives.
Bariatric surgery, especially Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), has been shown to be an effective treatment for type 2 diabetes, resulting in remission of the disease in many patients. Surgery leads to changes in gastrointestinal hormones like GLP-1, PYY, and ghrelin that regulate appetite and glucose metabolism. It also causes the intestines to reprogram glucose handling through increased breakdown before absorption, further improving blood glucose control. While traditionally only used in obese individuals, some studies indicate bariatric procedures may successfully treat diabetes in normal weight patients as well through metabolic changes rather than weight loss alone.
Sally was diagnosed with ovarian cancer that had spread to other areas of her abdomen. She was shocked by the diagnosis and unsure of what to do next. Cancer occurs when cells undergo genetic changes that cause them to grow and divide uncontrollably, forming tumors. There are over 100 types of cancer named after the organ or cell type they begin in. In the U.S., cancer accounts for 25% of all deaths each year, though death rates have decreased slightly in recent years. The most common cancers among men are prostate, lung, bladder and melanoma, while the most common among women are breast, lung, uterine and thyroid cancer.
Pain in the elderly. How to better understand and rate it.Ross Finesmith M.D.
It is often difficult to determine the amount of pain an elderly person is experiencing.This is complicated by dementia and verbal impairment. This presentation describes helpful methods to assess pain in the elderly.
This document discusses the differences between colic and high needs babies. Colic is characterized by distinct, inconsolable crying episodes lasting over 3 hours that occur regularly, while the crying in high needs babies is persistent and not time-specific. High needs babies also tend to be more demanding, active, and difficult to soothe. The causes are believed to be gastrointestinal pain for colic versus a difficult temperament for high needs babies. Coping strategies for parents include discussing any medical issues with the pediatrician, seeking support from others, and remaining positive.
This document compares the characteristics of colic babies versus high needs babies. Colic babies experience distinct, episodic crying episodes lasting over 3 hours that occur at least 4 times per week, but are otherwise content. High needs babies exhibit persistent hyperactivity, fussiness, high intensity behavior, a demanding personality, difficulty sleeping, and require frequent feeding beyond what is seen in colic babies.
Perinatal magnesium administration and the prevention of periventricular leuk...Ross Finesmith M.D.
This study examined the effect of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) on the development of cystic periventricular leukomalacia (cPVL) in preterm infants. The researchers conducted a retrospective case-control study of 492 preterm infants born between 1992-1994 weighing less than 1750g who survived at least 7 days. They found infants exposed to MgSO4 in utero were less likely to develop cPVL. Specifically, 2 of 18 infants with cPVL were exposed to MgSO4 compared to 14 of 36 controls, indicating MgSO4 exposure is associated with a reduced risk of cPVL. Further analysis confirmed the groups were similar in other variables and preeclampsia alone did
Mainstreaming #CleanLanguage in healthcare.pptxJudy Rees
In healthcare, every day, millions of conversations fail. They fail to cover what’s really important, fail to resolve key issues, miss the point and lead to misunderstandings and disagreements.
Clean Language is one approach that can improve things. It’s a set of precise questions – and a way of asking them – which help us all get clear on what matters, what we’d like to have happen, and what’s needed.
Around 1000 people working in healthcare have trained in Clean Language skills over the past 20+ years. People are using what they’ve learnt, in their own spheres, and share anecdotes of significant successes. But the various local initiatives have not scaled, nor connected with each other, and learning has not been widely shared.
This project, which emerged from work done by the NHS England South-West End-Of-Life Network, with help from the Q Community and especially Hesham Abdalla, aims to fix that.

Interdisciplinary medical education and care
1. Interdisciplinary Training
I. Overview
Collaboration among health professionals is the key to future positive patient outcomes. Each
health-care professional is trained with specific a knowledge base and unique skills, which enable
them to perform a patient service they are most have most experienced. Health care providers
working as a team will bring specific strengths of each discipline to focus on the care of the patient
and will supplement weaknesses of other team disciplines. The goal of the interdisciplinary team
approach is to decrease costs, improve patient care, reduce morbidity and mortality through patient
safety and error reduction, while improving healthcare worker satisfaction and professional working
relationships (Allen, 2006). The World Health Organization (WHO) has supported the
interdisciplinary health care model for over 10 years has promoted interprofessional models of care
demonstration programs (Oandasan, 2005)
The medical management of a patient’s illness includes the care contributions made by nurses,
pharmacists, social workers, hospital management and physicians. Each of these professional
areas work independently to fulfill their obligations of their positions, but improved patient disease
management outcomes depends on the interdisciplinary cooperation between all involved areas.
Lack of professionally trained interdisciplinary staff has a potentially negative impact on the future of
medical care.
Research suggests that healthcare workers lacking professional training and skills may neglect
essential aspects of assessment and medical case management. These factors include; patient and
family understanding of the disease, the medical management of the condition, the importance of
home care, the financial, social and psychological impact the disease process has on the patient
and family.
The result of inadequate comprehensive care plans results in the patients needs not fully being
realized or meet. Staff with less professional interdisciplinary training may not be adequately
prepared to handle the current difficult medical, ethical and social issues that help patients and their
families navigate the complex service of todays healthcare delivery systems.
Each professional area involved in the healthcare setting is interdependent on the other providers.
For example, professionally trained social workers are more likely than paraprofessionals to provide
effective case management services for clients with complex problems. Pharmacists with a better
understanding of a patients limitations, unique medication needs and understanding the disease
process are more likely to utilize the full potential of the available pharmaceutical options available.
The nurse typically knows the patient on a personal level and can provide insight into the potential
success or failure of carrying out a healthcare plan. The nurse ultimately executes the medical and
pharmaceutical plans and provides the social worker with direct feedback on the patient’s care plan
and current status. Hospital management is playing an increasingly larger role in medical care, as
the healthcare dollar is becoming more limited and scrutinized. Patient clearance for a medical
procedure or hospital admission is often dependent on authorization from third party payers and
hospital management is playing a more integral role in this process. The more management
understands about the disease process and its social impact, the better prepared those
2. professionals will to aid in the interdisciplinary care of the patients.
As medical science progresses and the complexity of our health care environment becomes more
complicated, the need for a more integrated provider system becomes more essential.
II Interdisciplinary
a. Defined
To achieve better outcomes and to reduce costs, a health care system focusing on integrative health
care throughout the continuum of care and to more strategically use the full complement of health
professionals within the workforce is required. Primary care includes health promotion, disease
prevention, and the management of acute and chronic illness.
The goal of an integrated model is to enable the current medical system to move from a sporadic,
reactive, disease-oriented and physician-centric to an environment that provides an emphasis on
health, wellness, early intervention for disease, patient empowerment, and a focus on the full range of
physical, mental, and social support needed to improve health and minimize the burden of disease
(IOM, 2009).
The health care interdisciplinary group approach is designed to enhance educational and, ultimately,
patient outcomes. In the current health care environment, clinicians face increasing complexities of
patient care. There has been an increase in specialization and segregation of health professionals.
This has created a challenge to collaborate among those professions that contribute to the health care
of patients. The interdisciplinary approach to complex patient care is to educate, train and group
various professionals together to form a more unified health care team. Nurses, social workers,
pharmacists, hospital management, physicians, and other health care professionals work together in
the health care setting and, therefore, would benefit from learning together through allocated
interdisciplinary educational programs. This interdisciplinary approach is proposed to be a
nonhierarchical, professional blend of health care services that provides a cooperative continuum of
decision-making, patient-centered care and support.
The core principle of interdisciplinary education is that each participating profession provides input and
guidance to the area of care most relevant to its role with information being shared continuously and
freely. The goal is to culture an environment of mutual professional contribution and education with
maximizing team communications, aiming to ultimately to optimize the care of the patient (IOM, 2003).
i.
Current use in medical training and in allied Health training
American health care is moving from being a multidisciplinary fragmented system to a more integrated
interdisciplinary approach. The goal of an integrated health care team is to understand the related medica
3. health concepts, implement a shared language and form a patient based plan based on the best of each
separate disciplines.
The Future of Nursing Education reports made several recommendations for improving the standard nurs
curriculum (CRMJFIFN, 2011). One of these suggestions included a more widespread introduction of
interprofessional education. After graduation from a nursing program, the report states that there needs t
lifelong continuing nursing and interdisciplinary education (CRWJFIFN, 2010).
The medical social work education programs have been in existence since the mid-1900’s. The medical s
worker focuses on the relationship between the disease process and social adjustments. Today the medi
social work educational aim is to more specifically prepare students to work in the current health care
environment. Here the social workers interact more closely with health professions than ever before.
Medical education has also been active in addressing the complicated needs of today’s patient. Many
academic centers have made a commitment to education that fosters the interdisciplinary team approach
health care professionals. It has been realized by physicians that the interdisciplinary approach to patient
can clearly benefit the patient and improves physician care parameters. The unrealized contributions of th
other disciplines act to relieve some of the patient welfare burden to more effective health care partners o
team.
Pharmacy education has traditionally incorporated many medical health related topics. There
has been a recent effort to increase collaborative educational settings with the other health care
fields. Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Pharmacy began an integrated pharmacy and
medical curriculum in 2007. The curriculum was developed for interdisciplinary education
involving both colleges. The combined student body is taught together in lecture classes as
well as in small group active learning and interaction sessions. Patient care scenario
challenges are used to facilitate discussion and problem solving in the group settings.
Teaching involves professors and teams of students from both disciplines (Allen, 2006)
The currently available business health care and medical management educational programs include the
medical group management association (MGMA) and American college of medical practice executives
(AMPCE) graduate school placements. Internship-residency programs are available for graduate student
these internship-residency programs the students gain hands-on, experience in medical practice manage
Typically the experience follows the university program’s didactic course work and offers students exposu
organizational operations, decision-making and the opportunity to participate in health care projects. Earn
certification as a Certified Medical Practice Executive (CMPE) benefits healthcare administration and pro
physicians, medical practices, hospital systems the leadership that provides financial and organizational
success to an integrative health care setting (ACMPE, 2012).
The goal of interdisciplinary training is to improve patient outcomes. The benefit of the wisdom and resou
of the different disciplines on the health care team can result in improved patient treatment.
4. III. Unique Benefits and Limitations of Interdisciplinary training
Each discipline is exposed to the structure and knowledge base of the others. This results in increased a
to or knowledge of resources for each of the disciplines. The exposures we have in our training influence
attitudes and professional management after training. Exposure to and understanding the services of an
discipline will facilitate utilization of other disciplines through out their career. Becoming familiar with the o
disciplines with frequent professional interactions, results in a better understanding of how each discipline
inter-relates to one own. This exposure in training leads to an increased ease of access to expertise outs
individual’s area one the training is complete.
Mensah (1999) described in a publication, an approach to hypertension in which interdisciplinary teams w
more effective in reducing rates of hypertension than were physicians alone.
In large University hospital a prospective study was instituted to evaluate the possible benefits of an
interdisciplinary approach to patient management (Mudge, 2006). There was an intervention group, with
enhanced allied health services, and a traditional care group as a control. The interdisciplinary interventio
resulted in reduced index length of stay while the hospital mortality and patient functional decline were bo
significantly reduced in the intervention group over a 6-month period. Patients reported a more positive ra
about their health improvement 1 month after discharge. Both physicians and the other allied health
professionals reported a higher satisfaction rate than the control group.
A diabetes education program for healthcare professionals utilized an interdisciplinary approach to prepa
healthcare professional to participate in community based diabetes care and certification (Valdez, 2007).
This group developed a curriculum for themselves, their clients, and their clients' families. The target aud
for this program were physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and dietitians. The multidisciplinary faculty provid
expertise in the delivery of a comprehensive program for healthcare professionals. Registered nurses,
registered dietitians, pharmacists, the business component was implemented by an individual with a mas
degree in business administration, and physicians with credentialing in endocrinology were included as
educators.
There are a few concerns regarding the interdisciplinary approach to patient care. It will take a greater am
of time to gain consensus across disciplines that historically aim to preserve and protect domains of prac
Most professional domains have been taught and encouraged to emphasize differences of their services
distinctions rather than shared values and goals. It may also be that not all involved educators or “opinion
leaders” in the local educational community will endorse this type of integrated training.
The time required to participate in a special interdisciplinary section of training would have to either take a
from another learning experience or extend the length of the primary training program to participant is en
in.
5. Additional concerns have been raised regarding future educational, institutional or political mandates that
arise out of enthusiasm for a too rapid implementation of interdisciplinary healthcare ideation (Clark, 2004
The potential is that there is a danger the improvement efforts reported by some interdisciplinary projects
result in premature mandates placed upon clinicians by administrators and regulatory authorities. These
groups may require clinical implementation of interdisciplinary programs without recognition of the time a
recourses required for interdisciplinary teamwork training. Therefore some programs will be less likely to

well.

Framework for Training – Health Care Reform
The US health care reform momentum was initiated by a developing concern about the limited correlation
between the amount of resources expended and the outcomes in terms of health status. Health care refo
the pursuit of better outcomes in quantity and quality of health services using the same or fewer resource
In the health sector, these objectives are commonly expressed in terms of improving equal access to serv
effectiveness of medical care, efficient utilization of medical resources, satisfaction of users and sustaina
The current timeframe is appropriate for the development of a more firmly established interdisciplinary tra
program for medical health professionals. The progression of health care reform places an emphasis on
effective patient management while reducing cost.
a. Degree Path focus on collaborative problem solving
The degree path for each discipline would require completion of a core curriculum within their professiona
domain with an added certification of Interdisciplinary Health Care Provider (IHCP). This added credentia
might serve as an incentive for specific and more complicated health care settings, such as intensive car
burn units.
The IHCP certified social worker would complete the medical social worker track in the accredited master
social work programs. Since there exist didactic course work and hospital fieldwork placements for this m
social work masters students, an additional “rotation” designated for a higher-level involvement in an
interdisciplinary team would be required.
Pharm.D. students after completing their course work , enter a course of clinical experience where the
pharmacy student develops essential skills, such as consulting patients, delivering immunizations and
performing screenings . During the final two years, students are placed in patient care settings under the
supervision of licensed pharmacists. These rotations allow students to experience different areas of phar

the required Phar.D. requirements and a completed a 6-month term on the team.
Nursing participates would most optimally participate as part of an advanced nursing degree. Participants
masters in nursing program (MSN), administrative nursing or a nurse practitioner program would be eligib
The IHCP certified nurse would complete a 6-month rotation on the team.
Healthcare administrating management participants would be at the master’s level. There are currently m
group management (MGMA) and American college of medical practice executives (AMPCE) InternshipResidency Programs available for graduate students. In these internship-residency programs the studen
gain hands-on, experience in medical practice management. Typically the experience follows the univers
program’s didactic course work and offers students exposure to organizational operations, decision-maki
and the opportunity to participate in health care projects. The IHCP certified healthcare management
administrator would complete a 3-month rotation of the team. A major benefit of this certification would be
greater acceptance of the healthcare administrator in the physician community. In addition, this traditiona
“business” person would have a greater understanding of the mechanics of providing health care service
This interdisciplinary program would be based primarily in hands-on training like most internships, howev
classroom component could be used to complement the program. The classroom time would be best utili
small group problem solving tasks. These tasks may include the students that are scheduled to join the
interdisciplinary team on the next rotation. This would provide a pre-clinical introduction to both the mater
well as the other students and mentors they will be working with.
Within each discipline, the rotations on the teams should be staggered to provide an ongoing level of qua
care. There should be a one-week overlap of one student to teach the incoming student “the ropes” of the
on the team. In addition, the completion of a “rotation” by a discipline should be staggered, so there is no
than one new team member per month. This will also maintain the professional quality of the team.
Each student representing a disciple on the team would be required to give an analysis of patient care in
area. In addition, the team in a weekly conference would comprehensively review one patient to allow
maximum cross-disciplinary learning. The healthcare management would provide the hospital logistic, leg
and financial aspects of the care. The nurse would provide the daily demands of the patient care, includin
timing and implementation of the nursing care, the effectiveness of the physician’s orders for specific nur
care and the continuity of care through out the 24-hour nursing cycle.
Attainment of certification would require a satisfactory rating by the program training staff of each of discip
