Barrett

Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University proudly showcases the work of undergraduate honors students by sharing this collection exclusively with the ASU community.

Barrett accepts high performing, academically engaged undergraduate students and works with them in collaboration with all of the other academic units at Arizona State University. All Barrett students complete a thesis or creative project which is an opportunity to explore an intellectual interest and produce an original piece of scholarly research. The thesis or creative project is supervised and defended in front of a faculty committee. Students are able to engage with professors who are nationally recognized in their fields and committed to working with honors students. Completing a Barrett thesis or creative project is an opportunity for undergraduate honors students to contribute to the ASU academic community in a meaningful way.

As the complexity of healthcare continues to rise, the need for change in healthcare delivery is more prominent than ever. One strategy identified by the World Health Organization (WHO) for responding to these increasing complexities is the use of interprofessional practice and education to improve patient outcomes, reduce costs, and enhance the patient experience of care (Triple Aim). Interprofessional collaboration among diverse disciplines is evident on the Phoenix Biomedical Campus, integrating a wide variety of institutions and multiple health profession programs; and at the Student Health Outreach for Wellness (SHOW) free clinic, -- a successful tri-university, student-led, faculty mentored, and community-based model of interprofessional learning and care -- based in downtown Phoenix. This project conducted a comparative analysis of interprofessional components of 6 different clinical models in order to provide recommendations for best practice implementation. These models were chosen based on availability of research on interprofessionalism with their clinics. As a result, three recommendations were offered to the SHOW clinic for consideration in their efforts to improve both patient and educational outcomes. Each recommendation was intentionally formulated for its capacity to increase: interprofessionalism and collaboration between multiple disciplines pertaining to healthcare, among healthcare professionals to promote positive patient and educational outcomes. These recommendations include implementing an interprofessional education (IPE) course as a core component in an academic program's curriculum, offering faculty and professional development opportunities for faculty and mentors immersed in the interprofessional clinics, and utilization of simulation centers. Further studies will be needed to evaluate the impact these specific interventions, if adopted, on patient and educational outcomes.

This research paper focuses on how the idea of suffering has evolved over time in the United States healthcare system. Different aspects like long vs short-term illnesses, bias, and more were inspected to determine how they play a part in increased or decreased patient suffering. The final determination of how suffering in the system has evolved and what to do with this information is also discussed.

Over the past seven years, the Student Health Outreach for Wellness (SHOW) Community Initiative has served vulnerable populations in Maricopa County through a volunteer workforce of providers, graduate health professional students, and undergraduates from all three of Arizona’s public universities. With an interprofessional volunteer base, SHOW has managed to transition its health education and screenings from a clinic-based setting to community-based settings. These new clinical outreach programs within SHOW present unique challenges to maintaining the integrity of interprofessional, team-based care, and new evaluative tools are needed to provide feedback for improvement. Now, as a pioneer site for the National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education, SHOW must continue to conduct internal research to evaluate their innovative model of care. For this project, the four core competency domains for interprofessional collaborative practice were used to outline proposals for the implementation of several new evaluative measures: the Assessment for Collaborative Environments (ACE-15), the Interprofessional Collaborative Competencies Attainment Survey (ICCAS), patient satisfaction surveys, and critical incident reporting. These tools and protocols are necessary to solidify SHOW as a national model for interprofessional education and practice.
