• Jack Newman is a 54 y/o M who presents to establish primary care with acute complaint of polyuria and polydipsia.
• History of HTN, Hyperlipidemia, Type 2 Diabetes, Smoking and Obesity
• Visit #1 – before exposure to IPTC • Prioritize problem list and address self-care
• Hidden problem – Literacy
• Visit #2 – after exposure to IPTC• Identify discrepancies in self-reported data and medication reconciliation
• Hidden problem – Access to medications
Impact of an interprofessional ambulatory care APPE rotation on student behaviors related to interprofessional communication and
teamwork.Linda Chestnut PharmD Candidate 2016; Jana K. Zaudke MD, MA; Sarah Shrader

• In the spring of 2011, the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy joined five other national health professions associations in recommending interprofessional competencies . 1
• The WHO defines IPE: “When students from two or more professions learn about, from and with each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes.”
• Proponents claim that we can transform our health care system if we move to a training model that values a team approach and places the patient central to health care delivery.
• To design an Interprofessional Standardized Patient Encounter for the outpatient primary care setting and deliver it using and interprofessional teaching objective structured clinical experience (iTOSCE) format.
• To integrate the iTOSCE into the educational curriculum of the interprofessional ambulatory care APPE rotation.
• To measure Interprofessional Communication and Team-Based Care using the iTOSCE before and after the exposure to the educational curriculum (Studio Pop) during rotation.
• In the fall of 2011, the Interprofessional Teaching Clinic (IPTC) was established in partnership with Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Health Professions.
• Patient care is provided by interprofessional teams – third year Medicine, fourth year Nursing, and fourth year Pharmacy students.
• Occupational Therapy (OT), Physical Therapy (PT) and Health Information Management (HIM) students rotate through IPTC one-half day a week.
• Psychology interns from KU-Lawrence campus rotate through IPTC three half-days a week.
• Law students from KU-Lawrence are available by consult through the KU Medical-Legal Partnership.
• Interprofessional student teams exposed to IPTC had higher iTOSCE scores at Visit #2 (post-IPTC) compared to Visit #1 (pre-IPTC)
CONCLUSIONS
JACK NEWMAN:THE INTERPROFESSIONAL STANDARDIZED PATIENTBACKGROUND
PURPOSE
THE INTERPROFESSIONAL TEACHING CLINIC
• During AY 2014-2015, a total of 64 students participated in this simulation with an 87% completion rate for the iTOSCE at Visit #1 (pre-IPTC) and Visit #2 (post-IPTC).
• Medicine = 20 students• Pharmacy = 36 students• Nursing = 8 students
• During AY 2014-2015, a total of 4 interprofessional faculty members participated with a 97% completion rate.
• Pre and Post IPTC rotation scores were compared by looking at faculty scores and then independently looking at student scores. This was done using unpaired t-test statistical analysis.
• This process was approved as exempt research by the institutional review board
• Interprofessional student teams were scored significantly higher on the iTOSCE by faculty and student evaluators (p=.005, and p=.0005, respectively) at Visit #2 (post-IPTC) than Visit #1 (pre-IPTC). • Faculty – 1.75 > 1.45; t(14) = 3.30, p = .005 • Students – 1.84 > 1.71; t(39) = 4.21, p = .0005

In the second half of the event, the groups switch places, and Groups #1 and #3 observe #2 and #4.
Groups #2 and #4 get a chance to ‘do over’ the case.
EVENT TIMELINE
RESULTS
• Studio Pop is a necessary educational adjunct to IPTC.
• IPE curricula transform education and practice simultaneously.
• Interprofessional student teams see patients together in IPTC and have protected time together every Tuesday PM for:• Debriefing• Reflection• Simulations
STUDIO POP
FUTURE• Design and implement another standardized patient to be used along with Jack
Newman. (Sally Simpson)
• Determine the impact on lasting behavior change, such as carrying IP collaboration skills forward into other rotations, into residency and into practice.
