使医学成为一项团队运动

2014年7月18日

Health care delivered in teams is better care, more efficient and makes for happier patients. But we can’t expect health professionals to work as teams if we don’t train them as teams, says the University of Utah’s new interprofessional education director, 丽贝卡·威尔逊, Ph.D.

播音员: Medical news and research from the University of Utah physicians and specialists you can use for a happier and healthier life. 您正在收听的是范围.

面试官: Hospitals and clinics are under pressure to become more patient-centered, which in today's fragmented health industry means taking a more team-based approach to care. But you can't expect providers to work as teams if they haven't trained as teams. I'm talking with 丽贝卡·威尔逊, Director of Interprofessional Education of the University of Utah. Let's talk about the University's efforts to make medicine a team sport. What is Interprofessional Education, and why is it important?

丽贝卡·威尔逊: Interprofessional Education is students from two or more professions that are learning together to improve the quality of patient care and their collaborative skills. 这很重要, 作为专业人士, if the first time you ever meet the other people on your time is when you are just kind of striking out for the first time, that's a very difficult time to have to put all that together. 通过让学生在他们的项目中一起学习, they get a better feel for the entire healthcare team and how we all work together in the interest of the patient.

面试官: Give me an example of how this works sort of on the ground level.

丽贝卡·威尔逊: The students come together around a patient who is just about ready to go home. We all know that transitions in care are some of the most difficult times for patients when they go from hospital to home or other care settings. So we have the team put together to do what they think is going to be a routine discharge, 这在医疗保健领域也可能发生, 一个家庭成员出现了, 信息也在变化. 那么这个团队如何改变他们的计划呢? How do they communicate it to each other and make sure that they are getting back on the same page about what they think is best for the patient, and then how do they turn around and communicate that with the patient and the family member?

面试官: You were recruited from the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine in Arizona where you taught interprofessional courses in a simulation setting. 是什么吸引你来犹他或犹他大学?

丽贝卡·威尔逊: I think what drew me to the University of Utah was the opportunity to talk with pre-professional students. I had some wonderful 经历 with people in the profession that wanted to have that influence. I came to the University of Utah because I've been to Utah before and had great respect for the healthcare education that is happening in this environment, and I was excited with the idea of being able to be part of that.

面试官: 你从护士开始从医,对吧? 你有一个Ph.D. 教育技术. What about those 经历 sort of informs your vision for Interprofessional Education?

丽贝卡·威尔逊: I think coming from a nursing background and having been a nurse for many years ,看到 where we came from, where teams weren't really considered to be something that was in my education, 大发娱乐都是分开训练的, ,看到, 虽然, 在我的实践中, 当练习顺利时, 当团队运作良好时, 当团队表现不佳时, 我大约在17年前成为一名教育工作者. I have been working with different professionals and putting together those team-based 经历 ,看到, 再一次。, some of the quality improvements and other initiatives that we took and how much improving the team improved the overall patient care.

面试官: It sounds like we've come quite a way with Interprofessional Education. 大发娱乐要去哪里??

丽贝卡·威尔逊: 我相信大发娱乐正在前进, 一号, towards making sure that students see this in not just the classroom where we have control, 而且在临床领域, 奇妙的实践可能发生在哪里. 但也许他们甚至在看到它的时候都没有认出来. So helping the students to understand what Interprofessional practice looks like in the day-to-day around patients and around population health. 这是大发娱乐要去的地方之一. I think the other is getting a little bit broader about what we consider team and who's part of the healthcare team and how do pieces that we wouldn't necessarily always think of right away fit in. 社会关怀. 社会工作是一个很容易考虑的问题, 但是医疗管理, 法律, 业务, 所有这些领域. How do we help students to learn about each other so they're not encountering each other for the first time when they're trying to solve a practice problem?

面试官: 如果天空是极限, what would you like to see accomplished here at the University of Utah in the realm of Interprofessional Education?

丽贝卡·威尔逊: I think my ultimate dream is that Interprofessional Education becomes the way things are done. So it becomes a part of the fabric of how patients are cared for, that everyone has the opportunity to work to the top of their preparation, and that we understand how to work with each other and work with patients and making sure that the patients are always brought into the team. 我想如果大发娱乐能接受教育, 经历, 并且学着让人们到达那个点, 大发娱乐将会非常成功.
