Building Caregiver Partnerships
The educational tools were developed and pilot-tested through the dedicated efforts of an interdisciplinary Steering Committee from Northeast Ohio Medical University and Summa Health based in Akron, Ohio.
The film
The foundational piece of this project is a 20-minute film titled No Roadmap: Caregiver Journeys that was designed to generate discussion on core issues related to home-based eldercare. The film is a tribute to all the families who travel the caregiving road with no map, but with conviction and love to guide them.
Case-based learning
Cases were developed to stimulate discussion on caregiving issues that residents and providers might encounter in a variety of settings including, office, outpatient clinic, hospital and on the phone.
Discussion guides
Various discussion guides have been developed to help facilitate conversation and learning.
ACGME milestones
The film, coupled with case discussions and clinical encounters in hospital, clinic and home settings, encompasses multiple reporting milestones for medical and surgical residents.
Education models
Suggested education models and ideas for the film are available.
Feedback & assessment
Evaluation forms and program feedback provide us with valuable information for future use.
