Abstract:

The novel FAMILY MEDICINE follows three married women as they struggle to define themselves in Foley, South Dakota, a small town where privacy is nearly impossible. Marcy Morrow, a queen bee, in a vulnerable moment reveals misgivings about her second pregnancy to Bridget Cunningham, the wife of Dr. Herb Cunningham and his office manager at the town’s only medical practice. Bridget's offer of off-the-books help begins a chain of secrecy into which Dr. Maka Smith, the practice’s other physician, is reluctantly pulled. Meanwhile Marcy and Bridget’s husbands run for mayor, forcing the women to reexamine their lives, ambitions, and the nature of friendship. The use of multiple perspectives, as in Anne Tyler’s Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant, helps reveal motives while heightening tension. FAMILY MEDICINE’s focus on a small community, like that Jane Austen’s Emma, uncovers the rivalries, alliances, and power of gossip in a circumscribed world.

Abstract:

This pre-conference workshop is designed to provide a foundation in osteopathic principles and practice and basic skills in osteopathic diagnosis and manipulative treatment for medical students, residents and family medicine faculty with little to no training in osteopathic medicine. It is also an excellent opportunity for doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs) to refresh their skills. Upon completion of this session, participants should be able to: Understand the four tenets of osteopathic medicine and their applicability to allopathic as well as osteopathic medicine. Demonstrate the basic osteopathic assessment and treatment of 3–4 common diagnoses that present in outpatient and inpatient family medicine settings. Produce an outline of a training curriculum in osteopathic assessment and treatment for non-DOs within his/her own program using the tools provided by the workshop.

Abstract:

A report on the creation of a new program to improve family medicine residents' understanding, and quality of care, of anticoagulation patients. Patients requiring anticoagulation therapy pose unique issues requiring a systematic approach to their care, balancing the potential benefit from therapy with possible adverse events. Here, we describe a model that helps to standardize both the care received by patients on anticoagulation therapy as well as the training of family medicine residents caring for those patients. A team-based model of care (family medicine residents, clinical pharmacists, and nurses) is used to achieve the goals of improved care and education. Clinical pharmacists are used in concert with family medicine residents and attendings to assess patients' medication profiles and help direct patient care and resident learning. Both the idea itself and the formal structure are presented in a model for possible adaptation to other programs

"Measuring Patient Interest in Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) in a Rural/Community Family Medicine Residency Program in Northeast Tennessee." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2017. https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu-works/6871.

Full text

Abstract:

Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) has been demonstrated to be an effective addition to traditional medical practice. However, patient awareness of CAM techniques may be low, particularly in rural areas. The aim of this study is to measure adult patient interest in CAM, particularly Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMT), acupuncture, meditation, nutrition, and breathing techniques in a community Family Medicine practice. An anonymous survey was given to 200 adult patients in an outpatient clinic over the course of 3 months. Survey items were designed to assess if patients were aware of CAM, if they had experience with any of the mentioned modalities, if they were interested in the mentioned modalities, and which CAM services patients would like to see offered in clinic. In regards to having heard of CAM, 57.3% of patients had reported that they were aware of CAM, while 42.7% were not. Of those that had heard of CAM, 42.4% had experience with OMT, 55.1% had experienced acupuncture, 7.6% had experienced breathing techniques group, 14.4% had experienced nutrition groups, and 5.1% had experienced meditation groups. 22.3% of patients were not interested in any form of CAM being offered in clinic, while 77.7 were interested in at least one type of CAM. OMT held the highest rating among interested patients, with 29.1% wanting to see it offered in clinic. These results indicate that, while many patients were not aware of CAM, there was nonetheless a high degree of interest in seeing CAM techniques offered. The implication of this study is that CAM should be implemented in the clinic as soon as possible. Future research should assess the degree to which patients actually utilize these services, once offered.

Full text

Abstract:

Interprofessional team-based care has the potential to improve patient outcomes, improve access to care, decrease costs, and improve team satisfaction. In recent years, efforts to implement team-based care have grown with the adoption of the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) and an increasing focus on value-based payment models. To better prepare our learners for this future, we introduced a formal team-based care curriculum in our three family medicine residency programs and one pediatric program. In addition to curricula for residents, we developed a team-based care didactic for family medicine clerkship students, presented by an interprofessional team of faculty. This session will describe our curricular efforts, team-based didactic for students, and outcomes related to students’ experiences with and knowledge of team-based care.

Abstract:

Title: Assessing Resident Physician Knowledge about Breastfeeding Medicine in a Rural Family Medicine Clinic Authors: Samantha Jensen, MD and Amanda Stoltz, MD, Bristol Family Medicine Residency Program, Department of Family Medicine, James H. Quillen College of Medicine, East Tennessee State University, Johnson City, TN Introduction: Many residents and faculty encourage the long-term goal of breastfeeding, and our residency program provides extensive training in obstetrics and newborn nursery. However, there is little structure and direct guidance for breastfeeding medicine already built in to the family medicine residency training. We aimed to develop a dedicated breastfeeding medicine longitudinal curriculum to improve the effectiveness of family medicine physician residents as teachers and advocates by improving residents’ fund of knowledge, provide structure for encouraging breastfeeding at prenatal visits, and incorporate breastfeeding into our family medicine practice by improving the on-site locations for breastfeeding and pumping. Method: The method of research was pre-lecture and post-lecture surveys comprised of 15 questions, including knowledge-based questions, assessment of confidence level, and a question on perceived barriers to breastfeeding. Participants attending two educational sessions during the study, and additional educational sessions have continued after study conclusion. The post-lecture survey was completed 12 weeks after first lecture. Lecture topics included an overview of breastfeeding medicine, how to encourage breastfeeding at prenatal appointments, contraindications, maternal nutritional supplements, formula supplementation, galatogogues, and the storage of breastmilk. Results: Results were compiled from the responses of 20 pretests and 9 posttest surveys. Results showed an increase in correct responses to the knowledge portion 61.15% pretest versus 77.69% posttest (t(28) 3.41, p<0.01). Resident physician confidence also increased by the conclusion of the study (t=28, p<.01). Conclusions: It can be concluded that educational lectures increase knowledge and confidence in resident physicians with regards to breastfeeding medicine. Areas for future study include specific research focusing on methods to increase access to resources for breastfeeding mothers.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: East Tennessee State University’s (ETSU) Department of Family Medicine initiated Quality Improvement (QI) training in its three residency programs in 2008. The purpose of the project was to develop, implement, and assess a formal curriculum and experiential learning process to train family medicine residents in QI knowledge and skills. METHODS: Family medicine faculty members received training in QI theory and design. Rising second-year residents received a daylong workshop on the basics of QI principles. Residents worked in teams to develop and implement QI projects. Self-assessed QI proficiency was measured prior to and immediately following the workshop. QI knowledge was assessed with the Quality Improvement Knowledge Application Tool (QIKAT) at baseline and following project completion. RESULTS: Two groups of residents (n=37) received training and completed at least 1 year on their projects. Analyses revealed that residents’ self-assessed QI proficiency improved after receiving a day-long training workshop and was consistent for both groups of resident training. Application of QI knowledge as assessed by the QIKAT did not improve following QI project participation in resident Group 1 but did improve in resident Group 2. CONCLUSIONS: A formal QI curriculum was successfully developed and implemented into three family medicine residency programs. Residents’ QI knowledge and skills improved following training and experience conducting QI projects. Faculty and resident commitment to the program and competing time demands proved challenging to the introduction of QI training. Future studies should assess residents’ sustained learning and translating QI residency experiences into practice.

Abstract:

Reviews the book, Complementary medicine and clinical practice edited by David P. Rakel and Nancy Faass (2006). Complementary and alternative medicine, or CAM, as it is known, has been an important and controversial topic for allopathic medicine. Although the majority of the patients in this country will use one or more forms of complementary medicine, and spend more out-of-pocket money on CAM techniques and practitioners than on allopathic ones, there is still a great deal of uncertainty among practicing physicians about what exactly CAM consists of. This book goes a long way toward helping to clarify this diverse and changing topic. Overall, each of the topics in the book emphasizes a refreshing focus on health compared with the antidisease focus of many more traditional medical articles and books. Each of the chapters integrates the technique and philosophy of the topic explored into an overall health-oriented approach to patient care. Rakel and Faass's book creates a template for a new model of medicine. Given its broad scope, it is ideal for family physicians to consider as we envision the evolution of our practices.

Abstract:

Healthcare is an important part of life in most societies that attract a significant amount of public investment. Primary healthcare is a fundamental branch of the healthcare system where patients and doctors initially meet. Family Medicine Information Systems are developed in an effort to ease the daily work of family doctors with the help of information technology. Such systems are generally used for handling critical tasks such as managing health records of patients, monitoring pregnancy and keeping track of children&rsquo<br>s vaccination. Like any medical information technology, the usability of such systems is a vital concern for enabling efficient and effective primary healthcare operations. Family Medicine is a recently established practice in Turkey and there are a number of systems in service to aid the daily work of family doctors. However, none of these systems have been subjected to a systematic usability analysis. In this study, a usability analysis of a popular Family Medicine Information System used in Turkey is conducted. By combining several usability evaluation techniques, the study identified several important usability issues and provided recommendations for further improving the system. The main usability issue observed in the system was the overall complexity of the information presented at the main interface that often confused and misled the users. In order to address this problem, it is suggested that features related to the most frequent family medicine operations should be placed on the main screen, whereas remaining features should be organized under auxiliary pages with clear navigation aids.

Abstract:

This project surveyed 21 respondents to determine whether family medicine physician assistants' medical education and training while in residency is sufficient to assess or identify domestic violence. The project found that although family medicine physician assistants do receive education and training on domestic violence, it is insufficient because victims may still go undetected and unserved.

Abstract:

Several studies have documented a deficiency in the delivery of preventive services to adolescents during physician visits in the United States. In many instances, a correlation has been noted between insufficient training and provision of adolescent medicine services in the practicing physician population. The American Medical Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Family Physicians, American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Society for Adolescent Medicine recommend adolescent providers deliver comprehensive health services to teenagers. This study sought to assess and compare Pediatric, Family Medicine and Obstetric-Gynecology resident perceptions of their responsibility, training, experience and comfort with providing comprehensive health care services adolescents. We asked residents to identify the following: (1) adolescent health services they considered part of their scope of practice in their respective field; (2) the level of training they had received with regard to select adolescent health services; (3) the experience they had performing select clinical activities with adolescents; and (4) their comfort with aspects of adolescent care. We further asked two questions to test resident knowledge of an adolescents right to consent to contraception or an abortion without parental notification in the state of their residency. A total of 87 residents (31 Obstetric-Gynecology, 29 Family Medicine and 27 Pediatric) were surveyed. Most residents from all three fields felt the full range of adolescent preventive and clinical services represented in the survey fell under the scope of their practice. Most residents also reported high levels of comfort with examined aspects of adolescent care. In regard to some activities, the positive scope and comfort responses were matched by high reported levels of training and experience, including defining confidentiality; counseling about eating, exercise and obesity; counseling about substance abuse; and discussing STDs, sexual partners and contraception. However, for multiple key adolescent services, considerable discrepancies existed between reported levels of training and experience and the positive responses concerning scope and comfort. In particular the results of study suggested all residents need considerably more training and experience with mental health issues, referring teenagers for substance abuse treatment, and addressing physical and sexual abuse. Overall, there were also significant differences between fields. Family Medicine residents reported the greatest potential for providing comprehensive health care. However, they suffered from the overall deficiencies in training and experience noted above. Obstetric-Gynecology residents reported deficiencies in the provision of several preventive counseling and general health services. Pediatric residents reported multiple deficiencies in the provision of sexual health services. Our results indicate, at this time and in the near future, it is unlikely that adolescents will be able to obtain the full range of recommended preventive and clinical services in a single physician visit unless residencies programs actively incorporate increased training in the full range of adolescent preventive and clinical health services.

Abstract:

<p>Background: There might be a risk that family members experience limited possibilities to act, participate and influence the end of life care for the elderly in the nursing home. For family members it could be the first time they face death which can imply a lot of questions and existential needs. Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the needs of family members in the patient terminal care in a nursing home. Research methods: The study implemented a qualitative approach and data was collected through four interviews and through a literature review were 17 articles were selected. The results were processed and analysed with a qualitative content analysis and two main categories, participation and assurance with subcategories were identified. Results: Families have a basic need of feeling assured that their elderly relative gets appropriate care in the nursing home. Feeling assurance could be a situation where the family members participate in the end of life care with confidence. The experience of family members is that the situation for feeling participation exist when there is a possibility to make decisions, act as intermediary or representative and be able to take responsibility. The environment that ensures feeling assurance is to feel support, to get insight, to receive information and know that the elderly persons symptoms are under control.</p>

Abstract:

Adult immunizations effectively reduce diseases. Despite this, it is difficult to convince patients to be vaccinated. We developed and implemented two different strategies, each deployed separately to improve our flu vaccination rates in two flu seasons. Data assayed from two seasons (2015-16 and 2016-17) show changes by approach used. Results suggest the strategy involving the most effort was no more effective than the lower effort strategy. These data are discussed in terms of appropriate metrics and future research.
