Summary
The MiPLAN model enhances bedside teaching for medical trainees and educators by structuring preparatory meetings and in-the-moment feedback. This approach aims to improve the efficiency and quality of clinical education.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Clinical Teaching Strategies
Background:
- Clinician educators and medical trainees experience time constraints impacting patient care and teaching.
- Effective and efficient inpatient bedside teaching methods are needed.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and describe the MiPLAN model for structured bedside teaching.
- To enhance the efficiency and quality of clinical education at the bedside.
Main Methods:
- The MiPLAN model integrates constructivist learning theory and adult learning principles.
- It comprises a preparatory meeting (M), five learner-focused behaviors (i), and a teaching prioritization algorithm (PLAN).
Main Results:
- The "M" involves team introductions, goal setting, and expectation clarification.
- The "i" behaviors guide educators during learner presentations (introduction, in the moment, inspection, interruptions, independent thought).
- The "PLAN" algorithm prioritizes teaching based on patient care, learner questions, attending's agenda, and next steps.
Conclusions:
- The MiPLAN model aims to increase clinician educator confidence and the frequency/quality of bedside teaching.
- Further research is proposed to evaluate the model's generalizability and impact on educational and patient outcomes.

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...
01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

01:20Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning, patient...

01:29Planning Nursing Care II
A nursing care plan can present in two forms: informal and formal. Informal is a care plan for the individual use of the nurse and goals they wish to accomplish during their shift. Informal care plans are not included in the patient chart. A formal nursing care plan is a written or computerized guide that organizes patient care. It is further subdivided into two: standardized and individualized care plans. Standardized care plans are pre-populated care plans for specific patient populations,...
01:13Patient-centered Care
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...
01:21Planning Nursing Care I
The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...
