TRANSCRIPT
Donald W. Reynolds Foundation Dedicated to Geriatrics Education
Teaching Geriatrics broadly so that care of the older patient is improved
Emphasis on Quality of Life Interprofessional Education
ObjectivesUpon completion of the TCTP regarding care and transitioning of the hospitalized older adult, students should be able to:Relate general geriatric principles of care Recite at least three potential pitfalls that can occur with hospital dischargeExplain critical minimum steps that need to occur for safe transition from hospital to skilled care Cite examples of common rehabilitation management issuesDiscuss benefits of interdisciplinary team care for older adultsAppraise contributions that can be made from the other healthcare disciplines (other than one’s own) for improved geriatric careDescribe impediments to interdisciplinary discharge planning communicationDemonstrate ability to manage clinical problems in this unfolding case
Geriatric Competency Domains Cognition
Falls
Atypical presentation
Health care planning
Defining care goals
Medication management
Hospital care
Self-care capacity
Orientation The interactive case system is designed to engage teams composed of
individuals from multiple disciplines in an extended web-based unfolding case exercise.
At the start of each segment of the unfolding case, each discipline receives
information specific to the typical role of that discipline.
Team members from other disciplines each receive different, discipline-specific information, thus mirroring real life.
To succeed, team members must share their clinical information through the system’s electronic chart and then problem solve together.
Learners will be provided instruction, through the case system, on addressing functional impairments, quality of life issues, behavioral issues, and family concerns for a simulated older female patient as she is followed through her hospitalization for a hip fracture, transition of care to a skilled care facility, and the subsequent skilled care stay.
Case
Collaboratively “manage” the care of an elderly woman through three episodes of care (modules of case).Week one/inpatient moduleWeek two/module transitioning from hospital to a skilled nursing facility (SNF)Week three/module in SNF as the patient is preparing to be discharged home
Teams
Senior Nursing students Medical students in Internal Medicine sub-I Pharmacy students Social Work student OT students PT students

“Outside my profession's usual practice”
If able, would like you to try to answer questions, even if it is challenging.
Answers to test questions
Final answers to be submitted, then, after midnight of the due date, the acceptable answers to these questions will appear.
Time Management, Review Meet team/introductions Decide responsibilities Each unit lasts 1 week – use time well
Number of questions Add clinical material to case Answer questions by midnight of the next
Monday.
Questions for your team How will you engage team members who are
absent today? How about engaging team members who are
not active during ongoing case work? How will your team communicate? Defined dates for entering clinical information? Dates for entering individual answers? How will you decide about group answers? Who will enter group answers?
Ground Rules
You may use any method of communication you like Case forum is required for team dialogue We will evaluate based on what we see in forum If external dialogue is created
Document discussion inside the case website (like a chart) Use any published resources you like You may meet as a team, in person or in
cyberspace You may not discuss case content with people
outside your team (e.g. learners doing this before or after).
Goals of proctoring Help team with team process
Guide team approaches to interaction Provide feedback on process work and outcomes Counseling, perhaps chasing down team members
who are not contributing satisfactorily Trouble shoot technical issues, find help where
needed Blackboard support: [email protected]
Grade each student’s teamwork after each unit
Proctor responsibilities Supervise students of your discipline
Introduce yourself to the group if you have not yet met
Log in frequency Ensure all of your students are participating
Your students will contribute to the wiki in one color font but you should monitor if each student is contributing (if more than one student in each group)
Be available to guide students regarding content (eg, if there is a question about whether the student should know this content)
Determine and follow through on the “grades” for your students
