From page 37...
... • The use of a community-based participatory research framework helped to focus the center on the specific identified needs of the community residents (including primary care, dental health, and mental health) , and to engage community members at every step of the process.
From page 38...
... Eighty percent of new RNs who completed the apprenticeship program have reported increased confidence in their work, and a better understanding of their role within patient care and the health care community as a whole. With permission, Robinson and Barney-Knox shared the stories of some of the participants in the program.
From page 39...
... In addition, managing the apprenticeship program places additional workloads on existing administrative and executive staff. As for students' challenges, Robinson listed English as a second language; balancing work, school, and family obligations; and dealing with the challenges of not having attended school in years.
From page 40...
... Barney-Knox closed her presentation saying: "By partnering with the community colleges, we can start to build a pipeline for future hires through clinical rotations that come through our prison system." PATIENT-CENTERED CARE IN PUBLIC HOUSING The Pine Ridge Family Health Center is a unique health care system where the primary care center is owned and operated by a public housing authority, said Shirley Dinkel of Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas. The health center offers primary and urgent care services, has a nurse practitioner-led health care center, and is a dedicated training site for Doctor of Nursing Practice students.
From page 41...
... At the same time, Dinkel said, she was "dragged" into a conversation about a local preschool that needed nurse practitioner volunteers to provide free health care services. This conversation took place between Dinkel, Jane Brown -- who was then a faculty member at Washburn and is now the head nurse practitioner at the center -- and Mallory Keeffe, who is a community social worker.
From page 42...
... Finally, the IPE curriculum is being expanded and improved in order to give students rotations in the center and to encourage them, as Dinkel said, to "really think about social determinants of health." Dinkel closed her presentation with a quote from a patient of the Pine Ridge Family Health Center, who said: I want to give a shout out to all of the staff at Pine Ridge and to THA as a whole for one of the very best experiences I've had accessing and receiv ing health care in my entire adult life. Leaving the office, all I could think about was the quality of my experience and care from start to finish.
From page 43...
... We just walked around it." Dinkel analogized the current health care system to the downed tree: The system is "really hard for many, many people so let's just walk around it." The center is her way of helping people "walk around" the health care challenges, rather than work within a broken system. REFERENCE National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education.
