A traditional sport medicine/ sports rehabilitation team usually consists of a physician, physical therapist and athletic trainer to provide care for a patient. These professionals working together is key to their patients overall health. Now the team approach for sport rehabilitation has broadened from interprofessional jobs to intraprofessional careers as well to help the patient. This new teams includes, educators, clinicians and scholars has improved patient care by providing a more detailed approach to patient care.The traditional model of care is not done in a uniform manner, with the creation of a new drug, running test is the lab and making it safe for dispensaries after going through clinical trials and practices for medical companies. This type of production is flawed because patient care isn't done in a medical lab but in clinics and this leads to ineffective care and treatment based on the environment of the clinic and surroundings for the patient.
ReplyDeleteOf the new research done in laboratories only 14% get published in take on average 17 years for it to be integrated into use in clinics. The new team of sports medicine and rehab has the ability to work on the accelerated rehab plans done by in-clinic trials for faster patient treatment and care.Comparative research is done for most common injuries such as ACL to determine what technique surgeons and medical professionals used that healed the patient quicker and more efficient. Comparative Effectiveness Research or CET is all patient based and oriented to find what rehab tools works best for them and is most effective. Paitient-based research is even more inclusive a study done by providers in a clinical practice that have a overreaching goal of improving patient care as quickly as possible.
Educators have the job of teaching health care professionals and students new concepts but also trying to create some model clinic-type environment for practice and assessment for students.This helps immerse students into the health care culture and get a feel for what clinical care is like and the fundamental needs of a patient are. While research scholars job are to collaborate with clinicians to ensure all patient outcomes and treatments are effective and in what ways can they be improved for future patient care. Common patient injury data could have an affect on the techniques for high functioning athlete rehab and could be problematic in data research. This is important for researchers to consider while finding flaws/ improvements for patients in this team atmosphere for sports rehabilitation effectiveness.

While each profession that may be apart of a sports medicine team or in general a health care team, may have individual goals or jobs for a patient, working in a team is described as working with two or more people towards a common goal. For example an orthopedic surgeon will work with athletic trainers and chiropractors directly to get the patient back to where they need to be in terms of a healthy functioning body, however, if they weren't working as a team they might be working towards two completely different goals that could be the complete opposite of where the patient should be in recovery.
ReplyDeleteThe biggest thing that is required by teams is communication. Without it, it isn't much of a team at all, it is more of a group, which is just a group of people doing individual work that doesn't affect each other. A team needs communication so that each profession knows where they need to be and what they need to do for a particular patient.

Group work and team work are both vital to a well functioning sports medicine team. They typically go hand in hand, but they are not essentially the same thing. Group work is utilized when members want to maintain their individual roles and contribute from their personal perspectives. This is good in situations where there are no specific set boundaries and duties tend to overlap. In the healthcare setting, this is less risky and provides better methods of communication. People tend to be more task-oriented due to the fact that they do not have to actually work together, but simply inform one another on what they are doing. As a team, members have specialized jobs in order to reach one common goal. There are seven components that contribute to a high quality team output. Included are to work on a common task, occupy their own working space, organize all tasks, encourage multitasking, time management and controlled work methods, follow a general leader, and maintain ability to influence recruitment. Though the two function very similar, whatever structure is used should encourage the most effective output.

When looking at teamwork it is one of the most important things in almost any field you may go into. When looking into sports medicine it is no different. Teamwork and communication is vital for any sports medicine team. In sports medicine a traditional team consists of an athletic trainer, physical therapist, and physician working together. This team approach remains a vital element of optimizing patient care. However there has been a new team approach proposed. In this team approach it will be based on intraprofessional boundaries, instead of interprofessional boundaries. This is very interesting because the new team would consist of clinicians, educators, and scholars. As you can see this is quite a bit different than the original team. This new team would provide a more detailed approach to patient care. However, either way a great deal of communication and teamwork is required between all party members to ensure patient outcomes.

Sensation occurs when sensory information is detected by a sensory receptor. This conversion comes from sensory stimuli energy to action potential that is called transduction. There are the five senses that are very well know which are smell, touch, sight, hearing and taste. There are also other sensory systems that go unnoticed that provide information for balance, body temperature, body movement and pain. Our bodies acquire an absolute threshold that relates to the minimum amount of stimuli energy that must be present for the stimuli 50% of the time to receive a message. It is possible to receive a message below the absolute threshold at that is through a process called subliminal messaging. Subliminal messaging is a message that we receive mentally but we are not aware of, advertisers often use this strategy. It is proven that there is little effect on us when using subliminal messaging outside of a lab. There is often confusion between sensation and perception. Perception refers to the way sensory information is organized, interpreted, and consciously experienced. Perception is more psychological whereas sensation is more physical. We don’t often perceive stimuli that remain relatively constant over prolonged periods of time, this is called sensory adaptation. Attention has a huge role on sensory adaptation. Inattentional blindness is failure to notice something that is completely visible. I think this section was very interesting to me because I never realized how huge of a role attention had on my perception.

Having a Sports Medicine Team is important because it helps provide care for the patient. It also improves the health of the patient. Having a team is important because not everyone is capable of performing every need for the patient. A traditional Sports Medicine Team consists of an athletic trainer, a physical therapist, and a physician. The team approach for sport rehabilitation is changing from interprofessional boundaries to intraprofessional. This means that the team will consists of clinicians, educators, and scholars. This approach is believed to be a evidence-based practice and evaluation of patient outcomes. With this new approach educators have the ability to teach the patients and other health care providers new concepts. This new approach can help with the ability to understand what is going on and being able to communicate it back to the patient. Either way, having a Sports Medicine Team is critical because there needs to be communication between the certain health care providers and the patients.

During an athletes recovery process having a Sports Medicine Team is a vital element in the wellness of the patients care. This does not mean that AT's, PT's and physicians are the only ones working to improve the athletes health but in fact there's another team that consists of clinicians, educators and scholars that make the patients process a lot easier. In the article it said that after ACL reconstruction acquired it sparked a great outcome for clinical practices. One thing that stood out to the patients was that each surgeon would have different surgical techniques based off their ACL injury. Some examples are patellar tendon or hamstring grafts. Surgeons will also provided protocols for their athletes that will be given to the athlete's physical therapist so they know what type of workouts they need to present to the athlete. Going through a recovery process as an athlete is physical and mentally hard but with the clinical surgeons this whole process for an athlete to be able to return too play wouldn't exist. These health care services goals are to be able to improve the patients care and to improve their healthcare overall in their lifetime. However, educators play a huge role in this new approach of a Sports Medicine Team. Educators are the ones who help teach the new generation the material needed to be successful in the medical field. They allow students to have hand on clinical hours while being able to introduce the concepts in order to learn the proper ways to take care of an athlete when they are injured. A Sports Medicine Team is crucial in the development of an athletes recovery process and shouldn't be overlooked in this society.

Teamwork in a professional setting is important in all fields including a sports medicine field. Sports medicine is a multidisciplinary area of practice, all parts of rehabbing a patient can’t be preformed by one physician therefor teamwork and communication is vital in improved patient care for athletes looking to return to play as soon as possible. The first people involved in this process are clinicians who provide these services but the people who train these clinicians are vital as well. Teachers and professors that guide students throughout their schooling are important in the process of rehab because without them guiding future clinicians the field would be full of people that don’t know what they’re doing. Another vital role in the team setting of sports medicine are researchers. Researchers play a role that often goes unnoticed because they collect data and perform studies based off data collected and try to form new ways of improving care more efficiently and effectively. Without researchers medical research studies and their results would take an average of 17 years to find their way into practice and the field wouldn’t be advancing and accelerating the way it has recently in terms of new and improved forms of rehabilitation. Without the communication between and combination of these three vital roles of the clinician, the educators, and researchers the field wouldn’t be what it is today, and sports medicine would still be 20 years in the past.

A sports medicine team is a vital element of successful patient care. The traditional team consists of the athletic trainer, physical therapist, and the physician, but a new kind of team based on intraprofessional boundaries consists of clinicians, educators, and scholars is introduced in this article. This team is essential for evidence-based practice and evaluation of patient outcomes. This article talked about how the sport rehabilitation should begin to produce a greater body of evidence comparing the effectiveness of many rehabilitative approaches on patient-oriented outcomes. Funds from the government are used to support research assessing the comparative effectiveness of health care treatments and strategies.To improve patient care and demonstrate the value of sport rehabilitation, a team approach to engaging in clinical outcomes is necessary. Clinicians, educators, and scholars have equal responsibility for the outcomes of care provided by our professions. The effectiveness of a particular patient care intervention must be established through clinical research, which should then be translated back to clinical practice. Research scholars must also collaborate with clinicians to measure patient outcomes. Educators will teach a new generation of clinicians the importance of outcomes assessment and is a vital role in this team that occurs through several mechanisms. Collaborating and working together throughout the field of sports rehabilitation will improve patient outcomes and demonstrate effectiveness as a whole.

Team work is essential in any work place where you have to work with people who have different jobs, and you all have to collaborate to get the whole job done. Well team work is very important in the medical field especially in recent years in pediatric heart care. At first there wasn't much done with pediatric heart care because their wasn't that much known about it, only stuff that was known was for adults and with that each section dealing with it was very separated and they didn't communicate that much between each step. But when it got in to pediatric there was many procedures that needed to happen right away so their needed to have a team ready that was able to communicate to make sure everything was going right. With the team work you need to make sure you have communication, be understanding, being able to deal with disagreement, have a collective decisions, and to have a leader. Some things that could make it hard is egos, rewards, time, and hierarchy all of these making it hard to work as a team, but all needing to be able to get over to make a cohesive team.

Having the ability to work in a team and communicate effectively are skills that you must have in any profession. These skills are extremely important when you work in the medical field. Having another human being’s life in your hands puts great pressure on you and your colleagues to make the right decisions. When the specific medical field is pediatric cardiology, the pressure is even greater. Over the past few decades, knowledge in specialties such as pediatric cardiology has seen a significant amount of growth. This has been not only because of medical and technological advances but because of improvements in teamwork and cohesiveness. In places such as India, there is less of a focus on communication. Each person involved with pediatric heart care would do their job and then move on to their next patient. While this is not necessarily a bad thing, it hinders the physicians’ ability to provide the best care possible to the patient. When a cardiologist does not communicate well with the surgeon, you have cause for potentially life-threatening mistakes. This lack of communication also leads to a smaller team. In the medical world, the larger the team usually mean the better the team. Like in India again, the surgical team was often the postoperative and/or the rehabilitation team(s) as well. A specialist cannot be expected to administer the pre- and postoperative care. They are called specialists because they specialize in a specific scope of medicine. With this being said, the larger the team is, the better the communication needs to be. Having so many people caring for one person can be hectic. Everyone needs to be on the same page so that the choices that are made all strive towards the same outcome.

When performing something as a group the results will be more efficient when thriving off team work. If each specific skill works closely together it boost the chances for the best possible outcome of patient such as pediatric heart care with the development of hybrid heart procedures. In the article they talk about some of the basic components and they keys to having good team work. Which consisted with everyone competent in their respective areas. For this team it requited individuals having skill and experience with pediatric cardiology, pediatric cardiac surgery, anesthesia just for the team to function. What makes the team perform well together consists of understanding one another, dealing with disagreements, communication, role of leadership, etc. They establish that nowadays in order for pediatric cardiac professionals need to understand they can only function through properly equip team because that’s what get the job done efficiently and that’s why teamwork is so important.

Both group work and team work are great ways for any sports medicine teams. In a group each person gives the group their own opinion on how should they reach their goal. Teamwork everyone is focused on one topic and one goal. Teams communicate with each other more so the whole team stays on track. In groups there’s communication but more individual work and others input if wanted. Everyone role plays a big difference in both group and team work. WIthout group and team everyone would be lost and wouldn’t accomplish nothing and never reach their goal. When assembled, the individuals more often than not connected to share data and viewpoints and make choices to offer assistance each other perform more viably inside each member's person zone of obligation.

In the article, Teamwork in pediatric heart care, the author talks about the relationship between cardiologists and surgeons. At first there was not really any teamwork going on between the two respective professions, for example; “Cardiologists thought of surgeons as arbitrary, unscientific, and rigid with little willingness to listen to honest feedback and change their established ways.”¹ There was this “hierarchy” that surgeons thought they had over cardiologists, but then it was realized that to have the most efficient work done, there needed to be a better system. A reason for this need for a more efficient way to work is because: “The emergence of pediatric cardiac intensive care as a distinct discipline requiring specialized focus has been a significant development.”² Within the article, Kumar, the author, concludes by talking about future challenges like; “... anesthesiologists perform a significant amount of perioperative transesophageal echocardiography to test adequacy of repair.”³ So, in conclusion, teamwork does help a lot, especially in situations like healthcare.

Working in a group always involves team work and communication. Due to the fact that if there is not team work and communication there would not be resolutions found in a timely manner if at all. The article hit on these points relative to pediatric heart care which has had a lot of technology and newly discovered knowledge in the past years. Which has caused a lot of new aspects, views, and push for teamwork within the field. Before for all the advancements everything was very rigid in respects to the field where cardiologists would assess and explain what needed to be corrected for the surgeons to actually carry out the surgery with no real communication other than the orders sent on paper to the surgeon. Even through recovery and everything after their "job" they were not involved anymore. Now with the push all that are involved must communicate to come up with what the best plan of action would be. There is a lot of collaboration and total involvement of almost everyone involved in a pediatric heart case. Which will increase the patient's chances of recovering fully and with no complications. Everyone involved with the surgery will be on the same page so when there are check-ups and or happens to be something wrong that there isn't a disconnect on what occurred. The biggest take away over all is the idea that teamwork really makes things easier but there will always be disagreements and people who have egos that get in the way. This needs to be taken into consideration and delt with in a respectful healthy way where there is no real big conflict. If not, everyone involved is delayed until the situation is resolved. Having chaos and hectic situations can be hard but the most important variable in the healthcare world is the patient and no patient wants to have a group of healthcare professionals not knowing what the next step to getting better is. They want help and it's the job of the professionals to act professional.

When it comes to a sports medicine team one of the main people that works with athletes that are underage and have problem with their hearts are made up of a group of different cardiac specialists, whether they are a cardiologist, a cardiac nurse, an anesthesiologist, etc. Cardiac care depends heavily on teamwork, when they do not work as a team you get miscommunication within the team and then it could possibly cause problems when it come to helping and healing the patient. When a team is working at their prime they have great communication and they all will push their egos aside and do what is for the best for the athlete and not doing what you may think is right but may be wrong and cause more of a problem. Especially today people have trouble pushing their egos aside but it is needed now more than ever because we are growing and learning more on how to treat certain problems and maybe someone might know more about a certain treatment more than others and it may help the athlete get back to their sport a lot quicker than another older treatment.
