Expanding care through a layered learning practice model

Abstract

Patients in malignant hematology and medical oncology services were counseled and provided discharge medication reconciliation by a pharmacy student or resident whose activities were managed and reviewed by an attending pharmacist using an LLPM, resulting in an improvement in all clinical outcomes and measures.

Describing education management and perceptions in health‐system pharmacy: A survey of medical institutions

“…Organizations should consider prioritizing additional programming needs such as those related to preceptor development, professional development, technician continuing education, and support for research. These areas are going to be more critical in the future as health‐system pharmacy models continue to expand and schools of pharmacy undergo curricular reformation; there will be a greater need for practitioners to be equipped with educational skills sets that require time and training to develop …”

Evaluation of a comprehensive, integrated, medical service‐based pharmacy practice model

“…Additional factors that may have impacted student growth include the change of the curriculum at the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, the quantity and diversity of rotations offered, and the partnership with the school which allowed a significant number of pharmacy students to complete rotation experiences at the institution. One specific result of the practice model change and focus on learners was the layered learning practice model . This synergistic model allowed for the department to expand the number of ASHP‐Accredited Pharmacy Residencies offered, which in turn, expanded the number of student rotations available.…”

Striving for excellence in experiential education

“…Given their recent experience as students themselves, residents are often seen as “near‐peers” by students, which can be leveraged in a shared preceptorship model 42 . The LLPM has successfully been implemented in ambulatory, acute, and critical care settings, increasing the quantity and quality of direct patient care services provided 40,43‐46 . The LLPM may be helpful in the need to precept a growing number of learners without negatively affecting the learning experience 43,44 .…”

Potential benefits of the LLPM include establishing meaningful learning experiences, increasing preceptor efficiency and effectiveness, expanding pharmacist patient care services, developing learners as members of a practice community, and improving practice readiness 41,45,47,48 .…”
