Register HERE for the inaugural offering of “Dynamic Discharge Discussions: Team Planning for the Patient with Cognitive Impairments.” This event joins Medicine, Occupational Therapy, and Physical Therapy students in an interprofessional simulation. Learners are tasked to assess a geriatric patient with cognitive impairments in preparation for a discharge planning meeting with the patient, family, and healthcare team. Learners will review hospitalization documentation and records and interact with a standardized patient (SP) in this hands-on interprofessional simulation.
This interprofessional simulation will take place in-person on Thursday, November 13, 5:00pm-7:00pm, at the UW Clinical Simulation Center, located within the UW Health University Hospital at 600 Highland Ave.
Learning Objectives:
- Communicate with patients, families, and team members in a responsive & responsible manner to elicit & integrate the perspectives, values, & expressed needs of both the patient & caregiver when exploring discharge options.
- Use the knowledge of one’s own role & those of other professions to interpret & discuss findings from functional mobility assessments.
- Engage in shared problem-solving as an interprofessional team by integrating data from multiple sources to reach a consensus on appropriate discharge recommendations.
Students who complete the course and participate in the peer-to-peer discussions will earn a UW-Madison Digital Badge to showcase via CV/Resume and Social Media (e.g., LinkedIn).
This learning offered by:
UW Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education and the IPE Healthy Aging Initiative Project, with support from BOLD Infrastructure for Alzheimer’s Act and the WI Department of Human Services.
