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.
The Professional Nurse01:22

The Professional Nurse

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.
Nursing Clinical Information System01:27

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Healthcare Workforce Integration
  • International Nurse Transition

Background:

  • Internationally educated nurses (IENs) require tailored programs for successful integration and retention.
  • The Supervised Practice Experience Partnership (SPEP) program in Ontario aims to support IENs' transition into practice.
  • The University Health Network developed a customized SPEP program for bidirectional integration, involving IENs and practice leaders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development and implementation of a customized Supervised Practice Experience Partnership (SPEP) program.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the SPEP program in integrating internationally educated nurses (IENs).
  • To provide a model for nursing leaders and educators designing nurse transition programs.

Main Methods:

  • Continuous evaluation using surveys and focus groups with IENs and practice leaders (managers, advanced practice nurse educators (APNEs), preceptors).
  • Development of core program components: onboarding workshops, structured learning pathways, handbooks, and a community of practice.
  • Adaptation of curriculum based on evaluation findings, emphasizing nursing fundamentals through case-based learning.

Main Results:

  • Improvements observed in IENs' critical thinking, communication, clinical reasoning, and judgment.
  • Curricular adjustments were made to emphasize nursing fundamentals via case-based learning due to limited prior clinical experience among some IENs.
  • Ongoing support from dedicated SPEP APNEs, especially those with prior IEN experience, was crucial for successful implementation.

Conclusions:

  • The data-informed, adaptive SPEP program effectively enhances IEN integration into the healthcare workforce.
  • The program serves as a practical model for designing and implementing nurse transition programs in diverse healthcare settings.
  • Continuous evaluation and adaptation are key to successful integration programs for internationally educated nurses.
