10516 Background: Teams are critical in delivering patient-centered care amid the challenge of health care workforce shortages. While conventional team-based collaborative care model involves physician and non-physician professionals, roles for pre-professional students in teams are largely educational and arguably underutilized. Methods: In a collaborative effort with the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Center for East West Medicine (CEWM), TeamX Health, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, designed an innovative, team-based curriculum for pre-professional students with our aims to harness the potentials of students in shaping the present and future delivery of oncological care. Over a 10-week academic quarter, students are challenged to explore the evolving evidence-based specialty of integrative oncology, and delivered as a “capstone project”, a creative solution to problems facing cancer patients today. Results: From April 2018 through October 2018, two 6-student cohorts have completed the curriculum. 10 participants (83%) were undergraduates and 2 (17%) were post-graduate alumni. Participants were selected based on a competitive application process with commitment to engage in the 2-hour weekly learning session. Sessions were taught in team-based learning format, covering topics ranging from cancer prevention, survivorship, symptoms management, nutrition, complementary therapies, integrative medicine models, and informatics. At completion of the curriculum, cohort one launched a health promotion YouTube channel addressing the physical and emotional burden for cancer survivors, and cohort two published a website for patients and caregivers to share their cancer journey serving as a greater social support platform. Conclusions: Redesigning the educational experience for pre-professional students may unlock unexpected possibilities to shape how we learned from and care for our patients. Harnessing the potentials for all levels of stakeholders ought to be part of defining team-based collaborative care.

Abstract Objective At our institution, traditional postpartum rounds were time consuming and inefficient with a low percentage (approximately 12%) of patients meeting the goal of being discharged by 11:00 am. A patient-centered collaborative care (PCCC) initiative was implemented to improve discharge efficiency, staff communication, and patient satisfaction. We investigated whether this paradigm shift to PCCC could improve clinical inefficiencies and timely discharge. Methods The PCCC rounding system was created by a representative group of physicians, residents, nurses, case managers, and social workers. An intervention study was conducted to examine the impact of PCCC during which physicians, residents, medical students, nurses, case managers, and social workers made rounds together. Efficiency data were collected for patients whose infants were delivered by the obstetric service for a 1-month period before and 6 months after implementing PCCC. Comparisons were made on the time of discharge and whether Foley catheter removal affected discharge time. χ2 test, Wilcoxon 2-sample test, and Pearson correlation coefficient were used where appropriate. Results Three hundred five patients were included in this analysis, of which 156 participated in traditional postpartum rounds and 149 in PCCC rounds. Discharge efficiency significantly improved with PCCC rounds, with 20.8% of patients being discharged by 11:00 am as compared to 11.5% for traditional postpartum rounds (P  =  .03). Early Foley catheter removal was significantly associated with time to discharge order (Pearson correlation coefficient, 0.22; P  =  .01) and discharge time (Pearson correlation coefficient, 0.28; P  =  .002). Conclusions Patient-centered collaborative care rounds improve the efficiency of postpartum care and discharge time.
