Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I

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...

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-II

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care. Here are a few more healthcare professionals.
Physical Therapist
A physical therapist (PT) aims to restore function or prevent additional impairment in a patient following an injury or disease. Massage, heat, cold, water, sonar waves, exercises, and electrical stimulation are some treatments used by PTs to treat...

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Chronic Kidney Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Chronic Kidney Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

Age-related pharmacokinetic changes are extensively documented, but understanding age-related pharmacodynamic alterations is relatively limited. This knowledge gap can be partly attributed to the complexity of developing appropriate measures of drug responses compared to bioanalytical methods for determining drug concentrations.Most information regarding age-related differences in human pharmacodynamics originates from cross-sectional studies. However, these studies assume that observed mean...

Summary

The aging population requires more social workers trained in gerontology. Current education is evolving to emphasize interdisciplinary geriatric care teams for comprehensive patient services.

Area of Science:

Gerontology
Social Work Education
Interdisciplinary Healthcare

Background:

Growing aging population necessitates enhanced social work expertise in gerontology.
Social work education historically evolved from a medical model to a life-cycle perspective.
Current gerontological social work education is shifting towards interdisciplinary team-based care.

Purpose of the Study:

To address the need for adequately trained social workers for the aging population.
To explore the evolution of gerontological social work education.
To highlight the importance of interdisciplinary geriatric care and education.

Main Methods:

Historical review of gerontological social work education models.
Analysis of the 'third generation' of gerontological social work education.

Examination of the Hunter/Mount Sinai Geriatric Education Center's model.

Main Results:

Gerontological social work education has progressed through three generations, with the current focus on interdisciplinary collaboration.
Effective interdisciplinary geriatric care requires educators to be part of interdisciplinary teams.
Barriers and facilitators for interdisciplinary collaboration in healthcare are identified.

Conclusions:

The 'third generation' of gerontological social work education, emphasizing interdisciplinary geriatric care, is best taught as continuing education.
Educators must be trained to function within interdisciplinary teams to effectively teach geriatric care.
Overcoming barriers to interdisciplinary understanding is crucial for effective collaboration in geriatric healthcare.
