2. Day’s Objectives
Interprofessional
Collaborative
Practice with
Medically
Underserved &
Vulnerable
Populations
• Develop a common
understanding of what is
meant by Teamwork,
Collaboration &
Interprofessional Education
• Provide an overview of
national IPE/CP trends and
goals
• Discuss populations being
served by RICE Project Sites
• Apply IPE/CP principles to
collaborative learning &
practice opportunities at
community sites
• Share methods for improving
partnering, networking &
team-building skills with
clients, systems and each
other
3. Small Group Activity 1
How do you define
teamwork?
1. Where did you learn
about how to be a
team member?
2. What skills are
needed to build
collaborative teambased practice?
3. What are the barriers
to working as a team?
4. What does collaborative practice look like in
your agency?
“… interdisciplinary collaboration is the achievement of
goals that cannot be reached when individual
professions act on their own” (Bronstein, 2003).
5. Why is collaborative practice important?
“Trends in social problems and professional practice
make it virtually impossible to serve clients
effectively without collaborating with professionals
from various disciplines.”
6. Definitions
Interprofessional Education occurs when two
or more professions learn about, from and
with each other to improve collaboration and
the quality of care.
Collaborative Practice promotes the active
participation of relevant cross-disciplinary
professions in patient-centered care.
7. Interprofessionality is not
•
•
•
•
•
•
Simply sharing electronic health records
Sole profession teams (neurologist, pulmonologist, radiologist)
Learners hearing a talk about another profession
Reporting out at interdisciplinary team meetings
Co-location without intentional collaboration
Decision-making without client/patient input
10. COMMUNITY Landscape
Medically Complex Conditions
Maine’s Rural Population
Maine ranks 3rd in the nation and 1st
in New England for food insecurity
• Fragmentation of health care is
associated with worsening MCCs
• Behavioral health disorders (BHD)
are associated with worsening
MCCs & early death
• Transition to continuous care is
associated with improved overall
health
11. Child Poverty
American Community Survey Data
Findings: Maine
•
•
•
•
More than 1 in 5 children (20.9% under
18 years of age) live in poverty
More than 1 in 4 young children
(26.9% of children under the age of
five) live in poverty.
Child poverty is getting worse, not
better: poverty rates are greater than
they were just four years ago in the
immediate aftermath of the Great
Recession.
Maine median household income in
2012 was $46,709, significantly lower
than pre-recession levels and
significantly lower than in
2008, 2009, and 2010-the immediate
aftermath of the recent financial crisis
and recession.
12. Maine’s Veterans
Maine ranks in the top five states in concentration of
Veterans. York, Androscoggin and Kennebec counties are
in the top five counties both in terms of actual numbers of
Veterans as well as concentration of Veterans in the overall
population (Government Accountability Report, 2011)

D-P suffers with severe knee pain.
Mrs. D-P is anxious to return to work

18. With Clients/Patients/Families
"When I come to
Lewiston, not speaking
English, not employed, not
educated, the gap is
already there," she said.
When young he spoke
French in the home but
increasingly spoke English
to "fit in." He had heard
those who did not speak
fluent English referred to as
"dumb Frenchmen" and he
didn't want to be judged by
his language skills.
19. Teams & Teamwork

deliver patient-centered,
community-responsive
care.

beginning with
different definitions of
team; lack of systems
integration; few
policies supporting
team practices; and
physical separation.

21. Purposeful Leadership

address social determinants of health

28. Patricia Chalmers, 31
Pat Chalmers is a 31-year-old woman who prides herself on self-sufficiency and
resourcefulness. She works part-time as a bookkeeper and gets paid to take care of
her aging grandmother with whom she lives in a one bedroom apartment.
Pat describes herself as having been a caretaker since adolescence. It is difficult for
her to acknowledge her own needs or to seek help from others.
Pat is tired of people commenting on her weight, diet, and need to exercise. She
avoids health systems as much as possible because she knows she’ll be told to lose
weight or be blamed for “being fat” (her words). “I know what risks I face” she says.
“I’ve accepted my size and would like others to respect that.” She also avoids contact
with human services or any resources she sees as linked to “the state.”
Pat’s records reveal that she gave birth to a child at 16 who was adopted. Although
she rarely talks about this experience she will say that she felt she was given no
choices and had to move on.
Pat’s grandmother comes to her appointment today. She is 56 but seems much
older. Pat brought her along so she wouldn’t “chicken out” talking to a shrink. Pat
has experienced depression since middle school and symptoms have worsened since
she severely broke an ankle 6 months ago. The break was significant enough to
require surgery. At the same time, Pat learned she had Type II diabetes. When asked
about this Pat reacted strongly. “I don’t have the time or money for diabetes,” she
explained.
29. Patricia Chalmers
1. What do we know about Pat?
2. Reflect upon thoughts and feelings that surface after hearing
Pat’s story? Are there assumptions, biases or experiences
that might get in the way of working with Pat?
3. Why is it important for you to understand the roles of
others that are working with Pat?
4. How can working with others improve the quality and safety
of Pat’s care?
30. The Nexus
The next step forward is to increase the link between
future healthcare employers and campus-based
interprofessional educational initiatives.
32. “One of the best parts of this
interaction for me was the
ability to learn and share with
one another. I was able to share
my strengths as a student and
learn to appreciate the strengths
of student pharmacists. “
“Because we know each other
better, our interactions come
easier and smoother when it
comes to patient care… we feel
comfortable to chime in and the
visits became integrated in an
organic way.”
“We have the same goal:
to provide excellent
patient care, but we
approach this goal from
very different
perspectives.”
