Category 3 – Innovation in Clinical Supervision

REACH – REACH Population Health Checks Team, Central Institute of Technology

Lyn Purdue – Occupational Therapy Team, The Marian Centre

Jacqueline Donnelly – ICU Outreach Program, Armadale Health Service

The REACH Population Health Checks Team

Central Institute of Technology – Health & LifestyleThe Central Institute of Technology’s REACH initiative is an innovative ‘grow your own placement’ partnership with the Department of Health and Curtin University. It provides health checks to the community via a fully mobile community outreach service delivered at health campuses, Independent Living Centres, shopping centres, libraries and colleges.

In its short lifespan the program has provided 3,278 health checks and referrals for underserviced and at risk populations. The service works within a wellness, rather than illness, paradigm and is delivered by a team of 15 students, under the supervision of a registered nurse and program oversight of nurse practitioners.

In 2014 the program will be expanded to include nurse practitioner, registered nursing and general practice placements in a dedicated hub facility funded by Health Workforce Australia.

The project is a genuinely innovative, State Training Provider (formerly TAFE) led example of Western Australian ‘student run’ services, delivering the triple benefits of primary health care services and utilising the workforce in training whilst addressing the limited availability of placements for student enrolled nurses, a profession critical to the supply of the nursing and midwifery workforce in WA.

Lyn Purdue and the Occupational Therapy Team

The Marian CentreThe Marian Centre is a stand-alone private psychiatric service with a team of occupational therapists who facilitate a full range of inpatient and day patient therapy programs to support and educate those with mental illness on their journey to recovery.

The Marian OT supervision program is an innovative variation on a team supervision model developed by the OT team in preference to the traditional one-on-one supervisory model approach. It has established a reputation as an intensively supported student experience customised to the service’s patient centred therapy programs with an outstanding degree of challenge and extension for students.

Incorporating elements of ‘student led’ placements, the program puts extra emphasis on simulating the post registration working environment, casting the student in the role of a competent professional and established team member. To achieve this, the team is involved in extra student preparation prior to the placement and an uncommonly intensive in-house

9


induction program. During the placement there is a high regularity of team meetings and peer review arrangements that echo the intensive training support utilised in clinical psychology placements.

Coupled with this high intensity approach the team has built a reputation for an above and beyond level of embrace of each student – including students with a disability – and a culture of innovation that benefits staff, students and patients in a unique mental health setting.

Jacqueline Donnelly

ICU Outreach Program

Armadale Health ServiceThe ICU Outreach program provides 24 hour supervision and support by experienced ICU specialists to junior medical and nursing staff who work after hours and on weekend on general wards with acutely unwell patients in need of round the clock care.

The only initiative of its kind in WA, the ICU Team have modified and adapted an internal outreach support model for use in a busy general hospital, with an increased focus on a ‘stay and teach’ approach starting from an applied, patient centred review of pathophysiology theory, and an interprofessional learning approach that involves junior staff in developing a treatment plan in consultation with the team, and multiple daily follow up case reviews.

The impact of the supervision program has been directly measured by improvements in the quality of care, with medical emergency team (MET) calls being reduced by over 60 per cent and unplanned readmissions to ICU being nearly halved since the inception of the program. The individual efforts of the staff that compose the ICU Outreach team, their commitment to their colleagues, students and patients and their innovative solution to the challenges facing services with a large junior workforce are highly deserving of recognition as a finalist in the WA Clinical Supervision Awards.
