Twelve tips for delivering successful interprofessional case conferences

Medical Teacher (2017)

Bridget C. O’Brien Shalini Patel Meg Pearson Abigail Eastburn Gillian Earnest

Interprofessional case conferences (ICCs) offer an interactive, practical way to engage members of two or more health professions in discussions that involve learning and working together to improve patient care. Well-orchestrated ICCs provide opportunities to integrate interprofessional (IP) education into routine clinical practice. The authors provide 12 tips to support the conceptualization, planning, implementation, facilitation, evaluation, and sustainability of ICCs. They draw from extensive experience as IP educators and facilitators of ICCs and from literature on IP education, case-based learning, small-group facilitation, peer-assisted learning, and learner engagement - all of which offer insights into ICCs but have not been integrated and applied to this context.

Implementing an established musculoskeletal educational curriculum in a new context: a study of effectiveness and feasibility

Medical Education Online (2020)

Meg Pearson Andrea M. Barker Michael J. Battistone Stephen Bent Krista Odden

Background: Musculoskeletal (MSK) problems are common, yet many primary care (PC) providers feel inadequately trained to manage these conditions. Previous studies describe successful MSK educational innovations at single sites, but none have reported on subsequent attempts to replicate or adapt these innovations to new contexts. This article presents a study of a national Veterans Affairs MSK training program modified to fit an existing PC educational program.Objectives: (1) To evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of an adapted MSK curriculum in a new context. (2) To provide a model for adaptation studies in health professions education.Design: A national MSK shoulder and knee curriculum was adapted for San Francisco VA PC trainees, which included a small-group workshop and workplace learning within a newly-created MSK clinic. Effectiveness was evaluated by assessments of trainee confidence in exam and injection skills (via 5-point Likert scale) and faculty-observed performance of knee and shoulder exams (reported as percent of maximum possible score). Feasibility was evaluated by determining acceptability of the program to PC trainees (via 5-point Likert scale) and ability to implement the curriculum using local resources.Results: 52 trainees completed the training during a 2-year period. Trainees' confidence in MSK exam skills improved from 3.3 to 4.5 for shoulder, and from 3.5 to 4.6 for knee. Confidence performing joint injections improved from 2.6 to 4.2 (shoulder) and 2.5 to 4.5 (knee) (p < 0.001 for all). Observed performance improved markedly - from 50% to 92% for shoulder, and 57% to 90% for knee. Feasibility was evident in high acceptability (5.0 for MSK clinic, and 4.9 for workshops), and successful and sustained implementation.Conclusions: Adapting an established MSK curriculum to a new context was effective and feasible. This may serve as a more efficient model for improving trainee education than de novo curriculum design at individual sites.

Hospitalizations for Hepatitis C in Mississippi, 2014-2018 – A Hidden Epidemic

Deleted Journal (2023)

Manuela Staneva Thomas Dobbs Paul Byers Meg Pearson Jonathan Hubanks

Goal: Utilizing Mississippi's hospital discharge data (HDD), we examined trends, demographics, comorbidities, in-hospital deaths, and hospital charges for hospitalizations with diagnoses for hepatitis C virus (HCV).Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of hospitalizations with primary or secondary HCV diagnoses. We performed descriptive and inferential statistical analyses using SAS 9.4. We compared categorical variables with chi-square tests and continuous variables with t-tests.Results: Between 2014 and 2018, patients hospitalized with an HCV diagnosis were more likely to have coexisting intravenous drug use (IDU) diagnoses compared to all other hospitalized patients (20.3% versus 3.3%, p < 0.001). From 2014 to 2018, hepatitis C infections associated with IDU spiked by 53.8%, fueling the overall increase in the number of hepatitis C hospitalizations in Mississippi. Almost one-third (31.8%) of all hepatitis C stays had a severe liver condition and 48.2% had nicotine dependence. The average charges for stays with coexisting HCV and decompensated cirrhosis were $65,975.Conclusions: In Mississippi, there has been a rapid increase in HCV hospitalizations associated with IDU. In addition, HCV hospitalizations were associated with severe morbidity burden and high economic expense. These findings underscore the need for measures aimed at containing the spread of this dangerous but preventable infection.

The Country Doctor.

Ware, Mass., May 24, 1906.

To the Editor:

—In the article on "The Country Doctor," inThe Journal, May 19, the author, Dr. John G. Wilson, in my opinion, has overshot the mark; while recognizing a vein of truth in what he says, I consider that some of his statements certainly need qualifying. The man does not live who has the time and the ability to do good work in surgery, bacteriology, chemical analysis and refraction and attend to a general practice of any size at the same time. The physician who is dependent on his practice for a living must first attend to that part of his work which brings in some adequate return for time spent, and this is more than can be said for most chemical and bacteriologic work as done by the general practitioner. The results of such work are as often negative as positive in
