    Workshop #6: Showing the Value-Added Benefit of Health Profession Student Teams in Patient Care

    Indiana University

    Nexus Innovation Network

    Presentation:

    Showing the Value-Added Benefit of Health Profession Student Teams in Patient Care

    Presenters: 

    Deanna Reising, Kara Bierbaum, Douglas Carr, Rebecca Feather, Derrick Garletts, Aurelian Bidulescu & Andrea Pfeifle

    Topic: 

    Linking outcomes to reducing costs in health care and/or education

    Overview:

    The Indiana University Bloomington Nexus Innovation Network project convenes interprofessional student teams to serve as navigators for transitional care home visits. The project specifically targets the Institute of Healthcare Improvement Triple Aim with measures to assess student and patient outcomes.  Based upon lessons learned, the focus of this workshop will describe and strategize methodologies to demonstrate the impact of interprofessional practice and education. The workshop will specifically highlight program structures and processes that lend themselves to the development of interprofessional practice and education programs that have the potential to demonstrate impact.

    During the workshop, participants will strategize on how to identify, collect, and quantify value-added measures that have the potential to leverage interprofessional practice and education as a revenue stream. Interactive approaches will generate methodologies to overcome barriers in demonstrating outcomes. The workshop will use the collective expertise of the presentation team and its participants.  Workshop material include: a report which describe the methodology of the workshop and learning materials. The report will contain the outputs generated from the listing of the possible measures and strategies, value-added measures, qualitative approaches, and barriers as well as problem-solving strategies to overcome those barriers.

    Learner Objectives: 

    1. Describe how IPEP programs may be structured to evaluate and improve the IHI Triple Aim including lessons learned in the Indiana University Nexus Innovation Network project;

    2. Compare and contrast measurement and evaluation strategies to assess IPEP programs;

    3. Apply innovative methodological and data collection strategies to IPEP programs, including the identification of qualitative approaches that best illuminate the quantitative measures;

    4. Define the concept of “value-added” and opportunities and barriers to collecting related measures with the emphasis on problem-solving.
