support their respecting the contributions of other professions, and better prepare them for providing team­based patient care. These early IPE experiences also increase the appeal of collaborating with other professions, reduce any negative stereotypical attitudes toward these other professions, and strengthen communication skills.
The Health Professions Accreditors Collaborative (HPAC), in association with the National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education (National Center), provided a guidance document on developing quality interprofessional education for the health professions. They stated that IPE plans should include four characteristics: (a) a rationale; (b) outcome-based goals; (c) a deliberate design; and (d) assessment and evaluation.
Case 7-7 (Questions 3, 4)
INTRODUCTION
Interprofessional practice and education (IPE) is a concerted effort to prepare medical, pharmacy, nursing, physician assistant (PA), and other health profession students to collaborate and deliver patient care as part of a team.1 In the early 1970s, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) report “Educating for the Health Team” addressed pharmacy as a component of the team as well as medicine, nursing, and
https://t.me/medicina_free
dentistry.2 However, there remains a concern that many practitioners, including pharmacists, are commonly trained in programs that are removed from other health care professionals. This educational separation could potentially have a detrimental effect on the beliefs and values that these practitioners may have on the contribution of other providers to patient care.
3,4
In 2003, the IOM addressed this matter in its report “Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality.”5 The report stressed incorporating interprofessional experiences into health care education and establishing core competencies for IPE. The 2003 IOM report states “all health professionals should be educated to deliver patient-centered care as members of an interprofessional team, emphasizing evidence-based practice, quality improvement approaches, and informatics.”5 These IOM recommendations generated the momentum for health professions to advance the need for IPE.
1,4
It is evident that with the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and the complexities of delivering health care today, an interprofessional approach toward patient care is important.3 In addition, new approaches to health care have stimulated a movement toward team-centered health care, such as the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) concept that encourages interprofessional teamwork in providing primary care.
6
With the PCMH model, physicians share responsibility with nurses, pharmacists, social workers, and others to manage complex patient care cases. The PCMH model puts the patient at the center of his/her health care and expands access and improves mechanisms for patient–provider communication, including the use of technology for patients to interact with their health care provider and have access to other health care resources.
6
The evolution of an IPE model that incorporates collaborative practice along with fundamental and continuing interprofessional education is referred to as the new IPE.7 This is a way to create a shared space between interprofessional education, interprofessional practice, and collaborative practice to improve health care outcomes while reducing cost.7 Thus, IPE is crucial in establishing integrated interprofessional teams that provide patient- and family-centered care to achieve what the Institute for Healthcare Improvement has
https://t.me/medicina_free
termed the Triple Aim.8 In this model, the three dimensions of care are to (a) improve the patient experience of care, (b) improve the health of populations, and (c) reduce the per capita cost of health care. More recently there has been an expansion to a fourth goal: (d) of improving the work life of health care providers including clinicians and staff.9 This “Quadruple Aim” recognizes “provider burnout” as an impediment to effective health care that needs to be addressed. Interprofessional patient care could potentially reduce individual caregiver burden and enhance each team members’ sense of contributing to shared outcomes.
CORE INTERPROFESSIONAL EDUCATION COMPETENCIES
CASE 7-1
QUESTION 1: You are enrolled in an IPE seminar with pharmacy, nursing, PA,
and medical students. Each week you will be assigned cases to work on in groups.
Your initial impression is that these exercises are primarily designed to help
foster teamwork, but are there any other areas that IPE helps develop as well?
The Interprofessional Practice and Education Collaborative (IPEC) was formed in 2009 from six national associations of schools of health professions (dentistry, medicine, nursing, osteopathic medicine, pharmacy, and public health), to promote joint efforts to advance interprofessional learning experiences with the goal of helping prepare students to participate in team-based patient care. An expert panel from its members produced a report in 2011 that established Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice.10 In 2016, IPEC published an update that organized and broadened the competencies within the domain of interprofessional collaboration to better achieve the Triple Aim with an emphasis on
https://t.me/medicina_free
population health.11 A subsequent update is currently being developed and is due to be released in early 2023.
12
The far-reaching impact of IPEC on health education since its inception has been demonstrated by the addition of associations of other health professions to its original core group including nutrition and dietetics, PA, podiatry, respiratory care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, psychology, speech-language and hearing, chiropractic medicine, optometry, veterinary medicine, and health library science.
13
The four IPEC competencies are (a) values and ethics for interprofessional practice, (b) roles and responsibilities, (c) interprofessional communication, and (d) teams and teamwork.
10,11
These competencies were identified to create a coordinated effort across the different health care professions to incorporate key content into their respective curricula and to guide curricular development. The competencies also provide a foundation for lifelong learning, as well as offer information to the different professions’ educational program accrediting bodies that can be used to set common accreditation standards.
10,11,14
In the first competency, IPEC considers interprofessional values and ethics as important elements in establishing a professional and interprofessional identity. These values and ethics are patient centered and grounded in a shared purpose to provide compassionate patient care. Working in teams adds value to patient/family and community outcomes that promote overall health and disease prevention beyond just the more traditional treatment of disease. In addition to being patient centered, competency in this area helps develop trusting relationships with patients, families, and other members of the health care team. There is also an expectation that one maintains competency in one’s own profession relative to his/her area of practice.
10,11
The second competency addresses the importance that IPEC places on one’s understanding of how professional roles and responsibilities complement each other in providing patient care to advance the health care needs of patients and populations. It is this diversity of expertise that is the foundation of an effective health care
https://t.me/medicina_free
team. Coordination of care occurs more effectively when each profession knows what the other can contribute to patient care.
11
Pharmacists should be able to effectively articulate to other team members what they can contribute in executing a treatment plan, especially when it comes to preventing and identifying any drug­related problems. Sharing roles has also been shown to enhance patient outcomes and reduce costs.3 For example, a nurse, social worker, and pharmacist can collaborate to develop a discharge plan that reduces the potential for hospital readmission by addressing such issues as community resources that may be available for assistance, medication adherence, patient education, and health care provider follow-up.3 The IPEC documents note that one should also understand the limitations of one’s abilities, knowledge, and skills and engage in continuous interprofessional development to improve team performance.
10,11
IPEC places communication as the third key competency. The expert panel states that one should communicate with patients, families, and both health care and non–health care professionals in a responsive and responsible manner. Characteristics such as being available, being well-informed, showing interest, and being receptive are key aspects of this communication area as well. Listening and encouraging the input of other members are also important attributes for this competency. Presenting information in a manner that patients, families, and other team members can understand helps enhance the safety and effectiveness of interprofessional care.
10,11
CASE 7-2
QUESTION 1: You are a pharmacy student on your Advanced Pharmacy Practice
Experience (APPE) rotation in internal medicine participating in medical rounds with a medical team that includes a very intimidating attending physician. Your team is evaluating a patient presenting with an upper respiratory tract infection. You note from the medical record that the patient is on warfarin. The attending physician directs the medical resident to order an antibiotic that you know may interact with warfarin and possibly increase the risk of bleeding.
How should you communicate your concerns to the attending?
https://t.me/medicina_free
Communication can be negatively impacted by demographic and professional differences that may exist between health care professionals (eg, older attending physician and younger pharmacist). To address this issue, the IPEC report encourages all team members to be willing to speak up in a respectful way if they have a patient-related concern. You should politely and very clearly explain to the attending what your concern is and provide evidence­based literature to support the nature and severity of the interaction. Despite the attending’s intimidating demeanor, failure to communicate the problem could result in harm to the patient. Being able to provide and receive feedback with confidence helps promote team-based care.
10,11
The fourth competency of IPEC, teams and teamwork, means working together for common patient care goals. Working in teams not only relates to shared problem-solving but also being able to constructively manage any disagreements that arise with other health care professionals as well as patients and family. Conflicts may occur when power is confused with expertise based on professional background. Staying focused on patient outcome and addressing any potential conflict openly through shared problem­solving and utilizing effective communication skills can help establish a more effective team. Besides, the report indicates that working in teams also means giving up some professional autonomy. Health care teams function best when the knowledge and expertise of the different professions on the team are integrated to make better patient care decisions.
10,11
As a consequence of this shift toward teamwork, most health care profession–accrediting organizations, including pharmacy, nursing, and medicine, now incorporate interprofessional collaboration and teamwork as part of their standards.14 In fact, the Health Professions Accreditors Collaborative (HPAC), consisting of many of the accrediting bodies of professions that are part of IPEC, was founded in 2014 in part to help facilitate the incorporation of intentional IPE throughout the curricula of its member bodies.15 The basic principle of IPE is that if students from different health care professions learn
https://t.me/medicina_free
together, they will be better positioned to work together in teams to provide optimal patient care.
11
CASE 7-3
QUESTION 1: A.Z. is a 66-year-old female, mother of six, widowed, non–English-
speaking Muslim refugee with limited medical literacy, who comes to urgent care with a 3-day history of cough and fever. You are an ambulatory care pharmacist working with the medical team responsible for the care of A.Z. that includes a bilingual (English to Arabic) translator, nurse practitioner, nurse, physician, PA, and social worker. Her medical history includes type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and anxiety. She takes metformin 1000 mg twice a day, simvastatin 20 mg daily, lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 10 mg/12.5 mg daily, and clonazepam 0.5 mg three times a day as needed. A.Z. is accompanied by her eldest son who translates for her and guides the medical decision-making process. A.Z. and her children practice traditional folk remedies such as black seed oil for respiratory problems and honey for diabetes. A review of A.Z.’s vital signs and laboratory work indicates that her blood pressure is 166/88 mm Hg, preprandial blood glucose is 210 mg/dL, and total cholesterol is 220 mg/dL.
How can we address each of the IPEC core competencies regarding this
case?
Values and Ethics
CASE 7-3, QUESTION 2: To respect A.Z. and her family’s cultural beliefs while
delivering high-quality and effective health care, what aspect of the care plan can be customized to ensure this patient receives care that reflects the patient’s values?
Patients of different cultures and religions may experience conflicts regarding their values or morals when interacting with members of the health care team. Health care providers’ awareness of and sensitivity to such issues can benefit patients and increase the quality of care they receive. It is important to understand the religious implications, culture, family perspectives, health practices, and beliefs of people of the Islamic faith. It is also important to validate the patient’s use of home remedies and work together to
https://t.me/medicina_free
incorporate as many cultural practices as possible. Creating and maintaining clinical relationships based on trust and good communication is essential. Protecting the patient’s freedom of belief, and maintenance of life and intellect while preserving honor and integrity is paramount in the Islamic faith.
16
The team should be cohesive in its approach to maintain a climate of mutual respect and shared values between team members as well as with patients and their families.
Roles and Responsibilities
CASE 7-3, QUESTION 3: You use your knowledge of your own role and those of
other professions to appropriately assess and address A.Z.’s health care needs and the needs of her family to promote health and well-being. How does the pharmacist’s approach differ from that of the other team members?
The pharmacist can explain to the family the medication regimen prescribed for the patient and discuss the rationale for treatment while being mindful of her cultural background. Prescription records can be reviewed for evidence of validating adherence. The pharmacist could research and provide information to the rest of the team on the herbal remedies that A.Z. is using. These home remedies can be explored for potential interaction with the prescribed medication (eg, how is the cultural use of “honey for diabetes” potentially affecting her treatment and could its judicious use be incorporated into her treatment regimen). The pharmacist’s knowledge of dietary supplements could also be helpful in suggesting alternative treatments that may be culturally acceptable to the patient and family.
The nurse practitioner or PA could initiate, manage, and coordinate A.Z.’s health care needs with the interdisciplinary team. Tasks will include, but not be limited to, prescribing medication, assessing efficacy of current medication and treatment plan, educating the patient and family about current treatment modalities, health promotion, and harm reduction. The primary care provider
https://t.me/medicina_free
(physician, PA, or nurse practitioner) can consider a referral to a mental health professional for counseling and mental health treatment as indicated. Other team health care members such as the social worker could assess how the patient’s PTSD and the role of the family dynamics could be affecting her health and treatment. A nutritionist could be helpful in assessing and addressing her dietary requirements in the context of her cultural orientation.
Communication
CASE 7-3, QUESTION 4: A.Z.’s son tells you in confidence that his mother does
not take any of her medications because the family uses home remedies. Should you communicate this information to the rest of the team and, if so, how would you do it?
It would be important to discuss with the son the need to share any vital information that could affect his mother’s health and well­being with the team. Explain to the son that his mother is an integral part of the team and is, in fact, its center. As such, she will not be ostracized by the team; rather, her actions and beliefs will be taken into consideration and become a part of the team plan. Communicating with the patient and her son about the role of medications is a necessary part of the teaching process. Being open to patient/family questions or concerns is crucial. Complete and open communication with the rest of the interprofessional team is essential for quality and consistency of care.
17
Teams and Teamwork
CASE 7-3, QUESTION 5: The pharmacist, translator, mental health care nurse
practitioner, nurse, physician, PA, and social worker meet with A.Z. and her children as part of care planning, delivery of care, and discharge. What teamwork skills are necessary to deliver patient-centered care that is safe, timely, efficient, effective, and equitable?
https://t.me/medicina_free
Teamwork skills include communication, problem-solving, listening, self-awareness, and collaboration. These are essential for providing quality health care. Effective team skills can improve patient outcomes, prevent errors, improve efficiency, and increase patient satisfaction. It is important to establish at the onset of care how patients and families want to be involved in their care. Engaging them in designing their plan of care increases their understanding of tests, procedures, and anticipated care outcomes, ensuring a successful discharge. Each member of the team contributes, within the confines of their own specialty, the needed skills to optimize the patient’s health and clinical care.
18
This unified approach achieved through the blending of multiple disciplines, with the patient and family at its center, is the key to a successful interprofessional team.
The end game of IPE is to establish and support fully functioning interprofessional teams that collaborate to promote the Quadruple Aim9 to optimize effective, compassionate, and cost-effective patient/community care while validating caregiver knowledge, skills, and teamwork. The IPEC core competencies can be seen not only as goals of preprofessional training but also as a grounding in the learning continuum of team members throughout the practice trajectory (Fig. 7-1).
