Published: November 2021

Given world-wide rises in the number of older adults, interprofessional education and training in geriatrics must be promoted across the learning spectrum, both for students and for health care professionals. This review examined interprofessional team-based education and training interventions in Canada focusing on the team component. A total of 10 studies (1997-2017) were eligible for analyzes. Studies offered health care providers opportunities to enhance their knowledge of geriatric competencies, as well as their ability to work in interprofessional geriatric teams. Although several interventions did not include team-based learning content explicitly, team-building opportunities, as well as assignments related to working on teams yielded positive impacts on learners. Results showed improved geriatric competencies as well as team functioning. Geriatric health care teams add significant value to the Canadian health care system. Consequently, opportunities to improve health care providers' geriatric knowledge and their ability to work in teams should be encouraged.

Background: The Anticholinergic Risk Scale and Total Anticholinergic Load were developed to assess the risks associated with anticholinergic drugs. Recently, the Japan Anticholinergic Risk Scale was introduced; however, the total anticholinergic load for adverse events has not been clarified, and the criteria for risk assessment in clinical practice have not been established.

Background: Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is an evidence-based practice that can identify adolescents who use alcohol and other drugs and support proper referral to treatment. Despite an American College of Surgeons mandate to deliver SBIRT in pediatric trauma care, trauma centers throughout the United States have faced numerous patient, provider, and organizational level barriers to SBIRT implementation. The Implementing Alcohol Misuse Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment Study (IAMSBIRT) aimed to implement SBIRT across 10 pediatric trauma centers using the Science-to-Service Laboratory (SSL), an empirically supported implementation strategy.
