Looking for a fun and engaging IPE experience? The IPE Escape Room is an adventurous way to meet new students across our various healthcare professions while improving teamwork and communication skills. Throughout this beginner escape room, teams will collaborate together to solve puzzles that will ultimately lead to a discharge plan in a simulated patient case. Team members are not required to have discipline-specific knowledge and teams will be provided clues as needed.
The IPE Escape Room Challenge is a perfect opportunity to learn more about TTUHSC, work with an interprofessional team of students from various professions, and learn more about the importance of interprofessional education and practice in healthcare. Following the completion of the challenge or at the end of the hour, a debrief will take place allowing teams to discuss their escape room experience and evaluate their team's performance.
Participants may be asked to switch days and times to ensure an interprofessional mix of learners.
Have a group of participants that you want to schedule? Email us at ipe@ttuhsc.edu for individual scheduling options.
Do No Harm: An Interprofessional Patient Safety Event
Date: September 13, 2024
Time: 8:30am - 12:30pm (Central Time)
Location: Virtual, Online Event
Preventable medical errors continue to remain a leading cause of death in the U.S., claiming the lives of over 400,000 patients each year. These numbers underscore the need for patient safety training and education for healthcare professionals. Interprofessional education and practice are critical to patient safety and improved patient care. Additionally, as interprofessional teams are becoming increasingly important in health care delivery, the benefits of interprofessional collaboration are becoming more apparent and can lead to increased patient safety and reduced incidence of medical errors.
The purpose of this event is to highlight the role of team-based care in order to identify and resolve potential medical errors and hazards, discuss root causes in cases of medical error, and practice disclosure of medical errors as a team with standardized patients.
