Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

11
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...

Patient-centered Care

2.1K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Public Health
  • Health Equity

Background:

  • Healthcare disparities negatively impact patient well-being.
  • Continuing professional development (CPD) offers strategies to mitigate these disparities.
  • Limited data exists on the effectiveness of disparities-focused CPD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize quantitative data on the impact of healthcare disparities-focused CPD programs.
  • To assess the effect of CPD on healthcare providers' knowledge, competence, and practice.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of quantitative data from seven CPD programs focused on healthcare disparities.
  • Inclusion of 41,588 healthcare providers who engaged with educational content.
  • Assessment of knowledge and competence improvements via test questions and post-activity evaluations.

Main Results:

  • A 25% improvement in knowledge-based questions and a 27% improvement in competence-based questions (p < 0.05).
  • Of 1101 participants in post-activity evaluations, 59% reinforced current practice, and 34% planned practice changes.
  • These changes aimed at implementing strategies to reduce or mitigate healthcare disparities.

Conclusions:

  • Disparities-focused CPD programs demonstrate potential for enhancing provider awareness.
  • CPD can equip healthcare providers with understanding and tools to address healthcare disparities.
  • Further research into the long-term impact of such CPD is warranted.
