Development, Implementation, and Assessment of an Online Modular Telehealth Curriculum for Health Professions Students.

Purpose: Several national health profession organizations endorse or have developed competencies for telehealth, yet there is no standardized curriculum for teaching telehealth to health professions students. Additionally, implementing telehealth curricula is challenging due to limited curricular space and differing needs of various health profession programs. We describe the development, implementation, and pilot assessment of an online, modular telehealth curriculum for health professions students.

Delayed Arterial Bleed After Pulmonary Lobectomy.

Background: Postlobectomy hemorrhage is rare. The majority of the bleeding happens early after surgery, with the median time to reoperation being 17 hours.

Case Report: A 64-year-old man with a lung nodule underwent video-assisted thoracic surgery right upper lobectomy 3 weeks prior and presented to the Emergency Department (ED) with acute-onset chest pain and shortness of breath in the setting of delayed hemothorax from acute intercostal artery bleeding.

Creating a win-win for the health system and health Profession's education: a direct observation clinical experience with feedback iN real-time (DOCENT) for low acuity patients in the emergency department.

Background: Clinical education across the professions is challenged by a lack of recognition for faculty and pressure for patient throughput and revenue generation. These pressures may reduce direct observation of patient care provided by students, a requirement for both billing student-involved services and assessing competence. These same pressures may also limit opportunities for interprofessional education and collaboration.

Lessons Learned from the Development and Implementation of Virtual and Telehealth Interprofessional Educational Clinics.

Purpose: The Interprofessional Educational (IPE) Clinic at Duke is a clinical experience that has allowed an interprofessional team, including health professions students, to care for patients in the emergency department (ED) since 2015. COVID-19 presented fundamental challenges to the structure of this experience, such as student restrictions on attending clinical experiences and limitations on the number of providers in a patient room, which necessitated a transition from face-to-face encounters to virtual ones.

Materials And Methods: As a result, two virtual experiences were implemented; one was based in the ED with in-person faculty and patients with virtual learners and one staffed by ambulatory providers engaging in telehealth clinics.

Glasgow Blatchford Score of limited benefit for low-risk urban patients: a mixed methods study.

Background And Study Aims:  Most patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) are hospitalized. Risk-stratifying UGIB with scoring tools may decrease avoidable admissions, thereby reducing the cost of care. We sought to describe how frequently low-risk UGIB patients present to urban emergency departments (ED) and the proportion who are admitted to examine how incorporating risk scores into decision support might diminish healthcare utilization in this population.
