SCCM Resource Library-PICU Overnight INTerprofessional Education of Residents (POINTER) Improves Bedside Care Knowledge, Comfort & Participation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Christine Schindler, the Advanced Practice Provider Director for Critical Care and Palliative Care Services at the Medical College of Wisconsin and Children's Wisconsin, discusses the role of advanced practice providers (APPs) in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). She highlights that APPs bring a unique perspective and skill set to the team, and the literature supports their role as dynamic providers that enhance team-based care. She provides a historical context of the development of nurse practitioners and physician assistants, who are collectively referred to as advanced practice providers. She also discusses the growth and scope of practice for the PICU non-physician workforce. She emphasizes the importance of onboarding and ongoing training for APPs, as well as the need for a strong leadership model to support and develop the role. The video also touches on the integration of APPs into the ICU team, their impact on patient care outcomes and resource utilization, and the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the PICU. The video concludes with a call to action for nurses and APPs to address health inequities and achieve health equity in their practice.

Asset Caption

Resident education is increasingly focused on knowledge and skill acquisition rather than on mechanics of bedside care. Hands-on aspects of patient care (e.g. suctioning oral secretions, drawing blood), are often carried out by non-resident team members. Interprofessional education (IPE) programs represent an opportunity to enhance unit culture, promote collaborative behavior, and reduce error. A critical care hospitalist, nurse (RN), and respiratory therapist (RT) developed an IPE-based series for PICU residents facilitated by multi-professional content experts. The primary aim was to deliver a supplemental curriculum to improve resident knowledge of ICU bedside care. Secondary aims were to improve self-reported confidence/comfort, participation in bedside care, and interprofessional collaboration.
