Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I01:21

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.
Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care01:26

Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care

Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended. This...
Obedience01:08

Obedience

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation, obedience...
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation I: Adult01:21

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation I: Adult

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, is a life-saving emergency procedure performed when a person's heart has stopped beating or they are no longer breathing. The foundation of CPR is Basic Life Support (BLS), which focuses on the early recognition of cardiac arrest, the immediate start of high-quality chest compressions, and the timely use of an automated external defibrillator (AED).Assessing Responsiveness and Checking the Carotid PulseWhen approaching an unresponsive person, first ensure...
Ethical Dilemmas II01:30

Ethical Dilemmas II

Resolving an ethical dilemma in healthcare involves a systematic approach that considers every aspect of the issue, respecting both the patient's needs and values and the healthcare professional's ethical obligations. Here are potential steps to resolve an ethical dilemma:
SBAR I: Understanding the Concept01:29

SBAR I: Understanding the Concept

Effective communication among healthcare professionals during hand-off reporting is essential to delivering safe and continuous patient care. Common professional interactions include reports to healthcare team members, hand-off, and transfer reports. Nurses routinely report information to other healthcare team members and also urgently contact healthcare providers to report changes in patient status.
Standardized methods of communication have been developed to ensure that information is...

Summary

Ambulance personnel in Norway feel highly competent in patient care but believe other healthcare professionals undervalue their skills. Improved understanding between ambulance teams and general practitioners is crucial for better pre-hospital emergency care cooperation.

Area of Science:

  • Emergency medicine
  • Pre-hospital care
  • Healthcare professional development

Background:

  • Norwegian ambulance services have undergone significant professionalization.
  • Focus on ambulance personnel's self-perceived competence and inter-professional relationships.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess ambulance personnel's professional competence.
  • To understand their relationships with cooperating occupational groups.

Main Methods:

  • Survey distributed to 300 authorized ambulance personnel (2002-2005).
  • Questionnaire focused on inter-professional cooperation, professional appreciation, and patient handling skills.

Main Results:

  • 52% response rate.
  • Problematic relationships identified with nurses, general practitioners (out-of-hours), and doctors (emergency sites).
  • 78% believe their group has the highest competence in acute patient care; only 19% feel their competence is appreciated by others.

Conclusions:

  • Ambulance personnel exhibit high confidence in their practical patient care abilities.
  • Enhanced skills and treatment capabilities may expand their role in pre-hospital care.
  • Mutual understanding of roles and procedures between ambulance personnel and general practitioners is essential for effective cooperation.
