- Is there untapped potential in the increased integration of mental health services into interprofessional care settings?
For upcoming #IPChat, a suggested topic: How to effectively integrate and coordinate clinical staff with health program staff in a team setting (eg, nurses, NPs, physicians, dietitians, etc with health promoters, diabetes education staff, youth health program staff, and others).
Two topics to put forward:
1. How to ensure teams are consistent in their language, terminology in patient care (e.g. doc calls 'em bed sores, nurse calls 'em pressure ulcers, OT call's it wound-care)
2. How to ensure IP teams know what fellow team members 'do' (Many's the hcp prof I've met that doesn't know what OT, Recreational Therapist or Physiatrist does)
I like these! I really like any that will generate a bit of 'good controversy'. What about:
-Social media and IP?
-How social media can affect patient outcomes (do we know if it can?)
-Social Media and the interprofessional team
I guess I'm looking at topics that help to solidify CIHC as an 'expert' in this field as well so we can be seen as teachers of social media in this arena.
