Abstract

In the past decade, Appropriate Education Programming for students with disabilities was mandated in Manitoba. Consequently, there are now both legal and ethical reasons why educators must endeavor to provide inclusive school settings for all students, including students with special needs. Recent school reforms have been influenced by societal change, educational restructuring, and increasingly diverse students needs. These factors also affect the inclusion mandate and, to a worrisome extent, create confusion about practices related to the education of students with special needs. Many researchers strongly suggest that collaboration is a key to creating and maintaining successful inclusive schools. However, professional development in collaboration skills and collaborative service delivery models has been offered to education professionals, specifically resource teachers and counselors, with mixed results. This study is an examination of resource teachers’ and counselors’ perceptions of the barriers to and facilitators of collaboration in inclusive schools.

Abstract

Introduction: Improved heart failure (HF) outcomes are needed due to patient health, utilization, and government penalty considerations. Previously we created clinical decision tools (CDT) and a CDT-guided multidisciplinary team care pathway (MTCP) for HF inpatients. Objective: This study evaluated outcomes of stepped wedge MTCP implementation in HF inpatient care across Intermountain Healthcare. Methods: HF inpatients (N=6,182) were studied at 19 Intermountain hospitals from January 2013 to November 2016. Starting February 2014, the MTCP intervention was implemented sequentially over 2.5 years in the 8 largest hospitals (accounting for 89% of HF inpatients). Where MTCP was implemented, CDT mortality and readmission risk scores were delivered electronically to clinicians within 24 hours of admission and repeated daily. MTCP was used for CDT "high risk" inpatients (n=1,221); lower risk patients received standard HF care (n=1,220). Controls were categorized retrospectively as high risk (n=1,791) and lower risk (n=1,950) at admission. Results: Patient age averaged 71.1±14.7 years; 45.5% were female. In CDT high-risk patients, the MTCP intervention was associated with 25% lower 30-day readmission (HR=0.75, CI=0.63, 0.88, p<0.001) and 48% lower 30-day mortality (HR=0.52, CI=0.37, 0.72, p<0.001). Cox regression adjustment for demographics, comorbidities, and medications retained both findings (readmission: HR=0.82, CI=0.69, 0.97, p=0.023; mortality: HR=0.54, CI=0.39, 0.76, p<0.001). CDT lower-risk patients in MTCP-implemented hospitals had no significant 30-day changes (readmission: adjusted HR=0.89, p=0.21; mortality: adjusted HR=0.86, p=0.51). LOS was not lower for MTCP recipients (4.5 days vs. controls: 4.6 days, p=0.65) or lower risk (3.8 days vs. controls: 3.9 days, p=0.35). Total variable cost (index stay & any 30-day readmission) was not different for MTCP (median $6,960 vs. controls: $6,741, p=0.08), but was higher in lower risk (median $6,258 vs. controls: $5,933, p=0.034). Conclusions: A CDT-guided precision medicine MTCP for high-risk HF patients was associated with lower 30-day readmission and mortality. Costs increased in lower risk patients where inpatient care was minimized but not higher-risk MTCP recipients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
