Canadian Academy of Geriatric Psychiatry 2015 Annual Scientific Meeting Abstracts

摘要

The P.I.E.C.E.S. education program provides the foundation for a vision, language, and approach to the care of older persons with increasingly complex physical and cognitive mental health needs and associated behavioural symptoms. This framework works in concert with the British Columbia BPSD Algorithm and enhances the capacity of the interdisciplinary team to provide care, services and support to those older adults. The BC project started with the Kamloops Integrated P.I.E.C.E.S initiative in 2012 and the Ministry of Health sponsored provincial residential care initiative in 2013.This project was sponsored by the UBC Tertiary Geriatric Psychiatry Committee working with a grant from the PHSA which brings together representatives from the provincial tertiary centres for Older Adult Mental Health. A provincial project steering subcommittee guided the initiative. Initial education was provided for both educators and leadership, by P.I.E.C.E.S. Canada consultants. This consisted of a 24-hour education workshop to develop 29 P.I.E.C.E.S. educators selected from across the province, who in turn facilitated the 24-hour P.I.E.C.E.S workshops to colleagues. The one-day Leadership Development workshop included representatives from physicians, administrators, and the Ministry of Health. A four-hour P.I.E.C.E.S module for physicians was developed and piloted.The evaluation is underway using a framework based upon shared solution finding; enhancing and translating knowledge; validating; and acting together/partnering for health-care transformation.Discussion of the evaluation includes analysis of surveys, narratives, and quality improvement projects; analysis of the physician module; and a summary of resources utilized to date.
