Abstract
Introduction: Home-based care (HBC) is a valuable tool to provide care to rural, medically underserved populations. By mitigating geographic and transportation barriers for vulnerable populations, HBC is a promising modality of health care delivery. Interprofessional education has become an integral part in undergraduate and professional curricula; however, applications of team-based training in HBC are often missing from curricula. When included, instruction in HBC often utilizes didactic instruction or laboratory experiences, which are discipline-specific and lack a focus on integration of team-based care. Methods: We implemented a standardized patient (SP) simulation of a posthospital discharge home visit using a team of learners from nursing, physical therapy (PT), occupational therapy (OT), dentistry, pharmacy, and medicine in a simulated home environment. Pre- and postsimulation competencies of interprofessional care were measured using the 20-item Interprofessional Collaborative Competency Attainment Survey (ICCAS). Results: Throughout the academic years of August 2018 - August 2020, 68 students from nursing, PT, OT, pharmacy, medicine, and dentistry completed a simulated home visit with an SP discharged from a hospital. For all 20 perceived abilities on the ICCAS, learners showed a statistically significant increase in postsurvey measurement. A modest to large (.31 ≤ r ≤ .94) effect size was observed in the majority of responses. Discussion: This SP simulation described a novel, interdisciplinary approach to incorporating HBC into interprofessional curricula.
