University of Southern Indiana: Student Team Develop Comprehensive Care Plans
Students engage with the Veteran’s Administration (VA) Patient Aligned Care Teams (PACT), as well as nurse practitioners and support staff from the USI Community Health Centers, to develop comprehensive care plans and provide patient care. The teams are charged with developing a plan of care that addresses an individual’s primary health care needs.
Resources for the plan include individual, family and community assessments, and it is developed in collaboration with the IPE team, the individual and the family/support system. The teams also integrate technology such as telehealth to assist and support the patients for better self-management of their health. USI faculty members serve as Interprofessional Clinical Coaches (ICC) at each location. Intended intervention outcomes include improved management of chronic conditions and reduced hospital admissions.
