In this interview, we discuss the advancement of medical education with the skills and simulation centre, the future of the medical curriculum, and how to be involved in medical education as students. R E S U M E Dans cette 4e edition du JMUO, le sujet mis en lumiere est l’education medicale. Nous avons rencontre le Dr Viren Naik, anesthesiologiste, professeur agrege de l’Universite d’Ottawa (uOttawa) et directeur medical du Centre de competences et simulation de l’Universite d’Ottawa (CCSUO). C’est aussi un membre important de l’Academie pour l’innovation en education medicale (AIME), le centre de l’Universite d’Ottawa qui a pour but de faire avancer la recherche en education medicale. Dr Naik est un chercheur tres dynamique qui a plus de 60 publications et subventions evaluees par les pairs a son actif. Dans le passe, il a aussi preside l’examen ecrit en anesthesiologie du College royal des medecins et chirurgiens du Canada. Durant l’entrevue, nous avons discute de l’avancement de l’education medicale au Centre de competences et simulation, de l’avenir du cursus medical et de la facon que les etudiants peuvent participer a l’education medicale.

Improving the postoperative handover process in the intensive care unit of a tertiary teaching hospital.
Journal of Clinical Nursing, 2016Co-Authors: Jian-guo Yang, Jun ZhangAbstract:Aims and objectives The aim of this study was to improve the postoperative handover process and immediate postoperative patient outcomes. The objective was to implement a postoperative handover protocol in the neurosurgical intensive care unit of a tertiary teaching hospital. Background Postoperative handover is a multidisciplinary collaborative medical activity that involves information transfer, sequenced tasks and high-quality Teamwork. Evidence suggests that a lack of a standardised postoperative handover protocol adversely influences care quality and potentially compromises patient safety. As there is a lack of such protocols in China, there is an identified need for improvement. Design This was a pretest/post-test study with follow-up after three months. Methods A postoperative handover protocol that included a postoperative handover checklist, a standardised handover pathway and Core Team Member involvement was developed based on research evidence and expert opinions and was then implemented and evaluated. Results Following the implementation of this protocol, improved Teamwork was achieved, surgeons were more frequently present at bedside handovers, the rate of transferring key messages increased, the rate of ventilator weaning within the first six hours of neurosurgical intensive care unit admission increased, and the ventilation duration per patient decreased without any clinical incident occurring in the first 24 hours after neurosurgical intensive care unit admission. Conclusions Following the implementation of a tailored standardised handover protocol, communication, Teamwork and short-term patient outcomes were improved. Relevance to clinical practice This clinically based research highlights the need for policy makers and administrators to create unit-specific protocols for improving postoperative handovers.

The Professional Contribution of Chiropractors to Danish elite football clubs: A qualitative exploration of role and perceived value in an interprofessional service provision context.
2020Co-Authors: Joachim Hostrup, Anders Koza, Corrie MyburghAbstract:Abstract Background: Interprofessional Team-based care has been widely adopted in elite level athletic health and performance practice. And although chiropractors can claim some penetration as health care service providers in high level sport, their position as valued Members of interprofessional health care Teams, especially those built around traditional medical organisational structures, is unclear. In Denmark, the mainstream provider status of chiropractors is more favourable than in most parts of the world. Moreover, chiropractors have been identified as service providers in the Danish premiere football league (Super Liga). However, little is currently known about the professional contribution made by chiropractors in this powerful sporting context.As a first step to map the professional practice landscape of Danish sports chiropractors, this investigation sought to explore the perceived role and perceived value of chiropractors as service providers in elite Danish football clubs. Methods: A comparative qualitative case study using semi-structured individual interviews was conducted. Six Danish Superliga clubs were purposively sampled to compare and contrast instances where chiropractors were absent from the health care Team, contracted as in-house health care Team Members or engaged as external service providers. Triangulated responses were solicited from healthcare co-ordinators, chiropractors and athletes within each club’s organisation through short semi-structured individual interviews. The audio-recorded responses were transcribed verbatim and thematically analysed using a framework approach.Results: Inductive and deductive coding revealed 14 unique codes, which were further organised into 4 code families relating to the role of chiropractors, benefits of utilizing chiropractic care and facilitators and barriers to interprofessional practice. From this framework 3 themes were abstracted, these being: “Broadening horizons”, “In-house preferred to take-away” and “Already covered, or even necessary?”. Conclusion: In this practice context, chiropractors fill the role of musculoskeletal health care service providers. Their perceived value stems from additional expert disciplinary knowledge, improved diagnostic triage and increased treatment flexibility. However, where not utilized, the role of the spinal health expert is questioned and when acknowledged, limited to that of a technician/therapist. It is unclear whether chiropractors can claim Core Team Member status. Further exploration of this interesting context of IPP practice is warranted.
