IPE Grand Rounds: A Student-Led Initiative

Interprofessional Education (IPE) Grand Rounds is an innovative student-run initiative designed specifically to increase the clinical relevance of IPE for all health professions students. By creating new opportunities for students from medicine, nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, couple and family therapy, physician assistant and pharmacy to interact with health professionals who are actively participating in interprofessional work environments, the IPE Grand Rounds program allows students to develop a more complete picture of what it means to be a member of a collaborative practice team. During these sessions, students and panelists discuss both the benefits of working with team members from professions other than their own, as well as the real-world challenges they face in practice. While exploration of the effectiveness of IPE Grand Rounds in helping medical and other health professions students achieve IPE core competencies is currently underway, initial positive feed-back indicates that this extracurricular experience may help to bridge the gap between interprofessional education curricula and collaborative practice

Wearable-based assessment of heart rate response to physical stressors in patients after open-heart surgery with frailty

Due to frailty, cardiac rehabilitation in older patients after open-heart surgery must be carefully tailored, thus calling for informative and convenient tools to assess the effectiveness of exercise training programs. The study investigates whether heart rate (HR) response to daily physical stressors can provide useful information when parameters are estimated using a wearable device. The study included 100 patients after open-heart surgery with frailty who were assigned to intervention and control groups. Both groups attended inpatient cardiac rehabilitation however only the patients of the intervention group performed exercises at home according to the tailored exercise training program. While performing maximal veloergometry test and submaximal tests, i.e., walking, stair-climbing, and stand up and go, HR response parameters were derived from a wearable-based electrocardiogram. All submaximal tests showed moderate to high correlation ( r = 0.59–0.72) with veloergometry for HR recovery and HR reserve parameters. While the effect of inpatient rehabilitation was only reflected by HR response to veloergometry, parameter trends over the entire exercise training program were also well followed during stair-climbing and walking. Based on study findings, HR response to walking should be considered for assessing the effectiveness of home-based exercise training programs in patients with frailty
