Detailed Description and Purpose of the IPE Experience
This activity is designed to encourage collaborative, multi-disciplinary healthcare for trauma patients. The symposium will educate healthcare professionals on the need to implement change to provide the most current and effective care for trauma-related injuries to have the best patient outcomes. Learners will be able to use available resources effectively when treating trauma/critically ill patients.
Following a morning of trauma-related panel discussions, presentations, and poster sessions, learners will gather for a tabletop small group discussion over lunch. Interprofessional teams of learners will participate in facilitated discussions on teamwork, interprofessional communication tools, roles/responsibilities, and values/ethics of patient-centered trauma care. Learners will reflect on "aha" moments from the symposium and how they can grow their skills in evidence-based collaborative practice and team leadership in trauma care.
Symposium Learning Objectives:
1. Describe each trauma verification level.
2. Characterize the role of communication between healthcare providers along the continuum of care to improve patient outcomes.
3. Identify the unique aspects of caring for injured patients in rural areas.
4. Describe appropriate and timely consultation and/or referral in the trauma acute care surgery populations.
5. Describe and discuss the initial evaluation and treatment of inhalation injuries.
6. Discuss confounding variables/elements during goals of care discussions.
7. Develop conceptual strategies incorporating damage control principles to minimize morbidity and mortality after severe injury.
8. Identify potential trauma patients that are candidates for ECMO.
9. Identify, anticipate, and plan for children with a difficult airway.
10. Develop a safe and effective plan for the management of the pediatric airway.
IPE Learning Objectives:
1. Learners will actively engage in tabletop discussions and share insights into the importance of teamwork and interprofessional dynamics in achieving optimal patient outcomes for trauma-related injuries.
2. Through guided small group discussions, attendees will identify key values and ethics in trauma care, recognize patient-centered approaches, and formulate action plans to integrate these principles into their respective roles.
3. Learners will reflect on their "aha" moments and develop strategies for fostering evidence-based collaborative practice and leadership within their interprofessional trauma care teams.
