Faculty Medicine, Dentistry & Health Science Orientation Information IPE Placement Outpatients SCGH 2013
Introduction Interprofessional Education is a critical component of education in terms of students learning with, from and about each other. Interprofessional learning (IPL) embraces a life-long, active learning process between different cultures and healthcare disciplines (1) IPL philosophy supports health professionals working collaboratively in a health care setting, though a purposeful interaction with service users and carer, to produce quality patient centered care. All students should have reviewed the UWA FMDHS IPL handbook and pre-readings on the relevant unit Learning Management System (LMS- www.lms.uwa.edu.au). The handbook describes the learning outcomes for the placement and the expected capabilities that are required as an outcome of the placement. In addition to the specific IPE capabilities this placement will also provide learning opportunities for the development of skills and practice important for your future medical, nursing and pharmacy careers. Ambulatory Care The majority of patient care in hospitals is delivered in the outpatient setting as this is an advantage for patients in terms of social dislocation and hospital acquired infections associated with inpatient care. Most community based care is provided by GPs and community services such as Silver Chain. Being able to adapt clinical assessments to chronically ill patients, often with multiple problems, rather than acutely ill ward patients is vital. Many allied health professionals are involved in the care of patients accessing services in outpatients to ensure best patient care is delivered and to bridge the gap between community and hospital. This placement will provide opportunities to experience an ambulatory care setting and model of care, engage as a member of an interprofessional team and also gain discipline specific knowledge and skills. Placement Program: The orientation for the IPE placement will be held in the Respiratory Outpatients clinic, Ground floor B block Hovea street at 08.00 on the first day of your placement (see appendix 1 below). The timetable for the placement is provided in appendix 2 and further explanation will be given at the outpatient orientation. Learning Outcomes of the IPE Outpatient Placement Specific learning outcomes for students engaged in interprofessional clinical attachments that assist the development of the UWA interprofessional capabilities are to: 1. Discuss the importance of team work to delivery of effective patient care 2. Compare the different professional roles of team members 3. Compare and contrast the different skills of team members 4. Discuss the importance of handover and techniques for effective handover 5. Discuss the importance of placing the patient s views at the centre of care planning and team working 6. Engage in a review of the management of an individual patient with members of their own/other profession(s)
By the end of the placement the student will: Improve general clinical skills (knowledge, practical & presentation skills) Gain confidence in performing full patient assessment within a short time frame Gain an understanding of the role of outpatients and the patient pathway through the system, including understanding the roles of General Practitioners, community and hospital based nursing and allied health professionals and medical specialists. Develop awareness of both patient and referrer wishes/expectations Improve communication skills with patients, colleagues and community (verbal & written) Understand the importance of and participate in patient education These outcomes can be achieved through: Active involvement at each clinic (direct patient contact/assessment, organising and following up investigations, taking responsibility for letters to GPs, referrals, allied health) Time spent with multiple allied health professionals (in OP and community settings) Regular opportunities for feedback, debriefing, presentation and case discussion Reflective and self-directed learning Appraisal and assessment throughout the attachment (CPAT, ICAT, PSL or DoCs) Specific Clinic Information and Learning Outcomes Pleural Clinic: The focus of this clinic is the investigation and management of pleural disease. Gain knowledge of different pleural pathologies and their investigation Increase confidence with CXR recognition and interpretation Understand how to approach management and care of pleural effusion Practical experience of thoracocentesis and indwelling pleural catheters

The clinic provides outpatient and inpatient services accepting 1200 referrals a year to the service from General Practitioners, Specialists and Inpatient sources. The Department is accredited by the Faculty of Pain Medicine of the Australian & New Zealand College of Anaesthetists for advanced training in pain medicine. The Department offers medical training for anaesthetic trainees studying for Fellowship of the Australian & New Zealand College of Anaesthetists and provides support for them during module 10 of their training. UWA, Curtin and Murdoch Universities regularly place advanced trainees in Clinical Psychology in the Department. The Pain Management Department regularly welcomes and hosts visiting staff from within the SCGH campus, state-wide, national and overseas visitors to gain knowledge and experience in ways to manage chronic pain The Pain Management Department has 6 procedure sessions per week primarily run as a day procedure clinic where patients are admitted and discharged on the same day but with enough flexibility to cope with additional inpatients as required. Intrathecal Pump refill patients are also admitted as day patients for refilling of their pump and medical review by their treating Consultants on their respective procedure session Review of inpatient consultation requests are attended on a daily basis whenever possible by one of the clinical fellows on a rotational basis. Written ward consults average 10-15 per week but telephone consultations re inpatients would average 25-30 per week. If patients need a procedure they can generally be added into a routine procedure list within the week.
Tips for seeing patients in the outpatients department When reviewing a patient in the OPD setting it is useful to consider these points: When is referral to outpatients (or a private specialist) necessary? Why has this patient been referred/what is the purpose of today s outpatient visit? Patients are referred for many reasons e.g.: Referral for a specialist review - to make a diagnosis or plan management Referral for nursing or allied health review (i.e. physiotherapist, speech therapist) Follow up by a specialist of clinical progress, results and planning further treatment Managing patients with complex chronic problems which requires specialist input (i.e. Cystic Fibrosis, transplantation) Management of complex problems that require an Interprofessional team Does this patient need to continue to be seen in outpatients and who should provide follow-up care?
IPE Assessment Requirements Assessment for the Interprofessional placement is the Interprofessional Capability Assessment Tool. The ICAT assessment is to be completed by the end of the clinical placement by you and your IPE facilitator. Students are required to complete reflective entries that show evidence of having met the interprofessional capabilities and IPE facilitators will complete a rating of capability according to the rubric in the assessment. Placement Evaluation As part of an ongoing educational evaluation strategy we encourage all students to participate in evaluation activities. All students have been forwarded a link to a survey (via Survey Monkey). Please complete the pre-test Interprofessional Socialisation and Valuing Survey prior to starting this attachment. In order to measure a change in knowledge, attitudes and behavior with regard to interprofessional capabilities you will also be asked to complete post-test Interprofessional Socialisation and Valuing Survey on completion of your placement.
