Communication Approach

Formal assessments of cognition that rely on language may conceal the non-linguistic cognitive function of people with aphasia. This may have detrimental consequences for how people with aphasia are supported to reveal communicative and decision-making competence. This case report demonstrates a multidisciplinary team approach to supporting the health and social care decision-making of people with aphasia. The case is a 67-year-old woman with Wernicke’s type aphasia. As the issue of long-term care arose, the speech and language therapist used a supported communication approach with the patient who expressed her wish to go home. A multidisciplinary team functional assessment of capacity was undertaken which involved functional assessments and observations of everyday tasks by allied health, nursing, catering and medical staff. In this way, the patient’s decision-making capacity was revealed and she was discharged home. A collaborative multidisciplinary team approach using supported communication and functional capacity assessments may be essential for scaffolding the decision-making capacity of people with aphasia.

Multidisciplinary Team Approach

Background: Personal protective equipment (PPE) is defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration as specialized clothing or equipment worn by an employee for protection against infectious materials. They include gloves, gowns, masks, respirators, googles and face shields. The CDC has issued guidelines on appropriateness of when, what, and how to use PPE. Despite these guidelines, compliance with PPE remains challenging. Methods: We implemented a massive hospital-wide rapid education program on PPE donning and doffing of all employees and staff. This program included an online video, return demonstration and just-in-time training. To develop the program, we recorded PPE training video, reviewed PPE validation checklist, developed new isolation precaution signage with quick response (QR) code to video, developed a nutrition tray removal video and a equipment cleaning video, developed family and visitor guidelines for isolation precautions, and created an audit tool for PPE donning and doffing practices. The program required interdisciplinary collaboration including administration, infection prevention, nursing education, central supply, environmental services, facility maintenance, and security. Results: The first phase of the program was implemented through 30 separate 4-hour PPE skills fair offered over 48 hours. In total, 500 staff members were trained in the first 48 hours; 6 additional 3-hour sessions were provided on site in the following 3 month. Additionally, training was provided in off-site clinics, physician leadership meetings, new-hire orientation for nursing staff, and monthly resident and fellow training through graduate medical education. As needed, training was provided by infection prevention, nursing education, and floor nurses. In total, 5,237 staff members were trained within 3 months after implementation. Actual audit results (50 audits per week) showed improved and sustained compliance to >94%. Conclusions: A massive hospital-wide educational program including online video, return demonstration, and just-in-time training is a feasible and very effective method to improve compliance with PPE donning and doffing. A multidisciplinary team approach, administration support, and continuous education and audits are key factors in successful implementation.Funding: NoneDisclosures: None
