In this article, the importance of having a sports medicine team is expressed as covering all the bases for recovery and even research. The sports medicine world needs to start providing more research and information on the advantages and disadvantages of certain rehabilitation techniques to help improve patient outcomes. To conduct this research there needs to be clinicians, scholars and educators working together to find the most effective rehabilitation techniques for different injuries. Along with general research, there needs to be practice based research that the clinicians perform. The goal of practice based research is to “improve patient care by improving clinical practice.”1 One of the key roles of an educator when teaching athletic training students is to teach them through both clinical and instructional strategies to teach the students to pay more attention to the outcomes of rehabilitation. Overall, in sports medicine, according to this article, there needs to be a team of clinicians, scholars, and educators who are researching the most effective methods of rehabilitation for patients and teaching it to the rest of the medical world.

From what I learned from the reading emphasized on a team approach is that there are multiple factors that go into making a team. Of course one can easily rely on athletic trainers, physicians and sports therapists, but another huge factor would be the field of teaching and educating. From what I gathered, educators are just as an important part of the process, as they teach others to prepare for the future. I learned that only around fourteen percent of new medical research is put into full use, and also that a great deal of research is put into the study of altercations such as the ACL tear. Although fields such as these are heavily studied, many athletes come back with mixed reports when all is said and done. This is why educators can be important, as they learn from success, mistakes, and looking at these problems from a different point of view, they can heavily contribute to solving a problem or in this case healing a wound. The best way I found it displayed, was when the article stated “ In order to enhance patient care, the effectiveness of a particular patient care intervention or treatment must be established through clinical research, then those findings can be translated back into medical practice”.

ReplyDeleteIn the article, A Team Approach, the importance of having a sports medicine team is explained as being “...the team approach to health care...” It is important having a group of health professionals in order to receive proper care. Being able to have others on your team makes it a lot easier for research because you are able to compare and contrast your findings with what others were able to find too. Especially in today's age, it is important to continue to be able to find new information and many times this is done more effectively through having a team of people. New research on therapeutic techniques must be done because it is important to continue to improve the process of bettering the patient. This article proves that in order for their to be continued research, there needs to be a team of professionals working together. These health professionals include: clinicians, educators, and scholars.

In the article, A Team Approach: Demonstrating Sport Rehabilitation’s Effectiveness and Enhancing Patient Care Through Clinical Outcomes Assessment, the importance of having a sports medicine team is coming together as a team to reach a common goal. That common goal is to get the injured athlete back to functioning health. Certain group members have specific jobs that other members can not do. They all communicate to make sure they are all on the same page with the athlete. This step is very important to getting the athlete back to playing. They all must be on the same page so one member of the team’s idea does not interact with another member of the team’s approach. Some of the best teams in sports medicine can switch from working by themselves to, when they need help with ideas and things that may not be in their field, using their team to their advantage. To possibly getting a new look or perspective on the athlete.

In the article regarding sports rehabilitation, it discusses the appropriate approaches and methods to making the patient better. The importance of having a sports rehabilitation team is having multiple people who are achieving the same goal. Each member of the team adds value, so therefore the more hands involved, the more in depth the treatment will go when it comes to treating the patient. Having multiple people involved makes it easier and better for multiple reasons. There is more insight and more opinions as far as what to do regarding treatment. The rehabilitation process also is a vital process when it comes to having a team. There is a lot more that goes on when it comes to rehabilitation than people realize. Clear from the surgeon who repaired the injury, to the parent who is supporting the patient. It is all about making the patient better. Even doctors and care takers reach out to colleagues for extra options, suggestions, and may even ask for help when it comes to rehabilitation. It is pretty cool with how in the medical field, everyone comes together and achieves a certain goal. It is most certainly unique.

This article explains how important it is to have a sports medicine team. A sports medicine team is there for numerous reasons. One is because there is so much to know about the human body, so they split the body up into teams so they can be a pro in that area. This allows the sports medicine world to come up with more information and research on rehabilitation techniques in order to get the patient back to where he was. Clinicians, scholars and educators must work together in order to find these researches of different techniques or they will not be successful. Practice based research is also something clinicians must perform. Something that educators do is teach athletic training classes to students looking to become athletic trainers or any other medical field. Sports medicine teams are very important for the patient’s recovery. They must work together in order to be successful in patient’s recovery. If they aren’t working together than they a jeopardizing someone’s health.

In this article it is discussed how important it is to have a team aspect in sports rehabilitation. This team is very important because they are the people who will get the athlete back to their full potential. They talk about how the professionals in this team have changed to clinicians, educators and scholars instead an all medical professional team. This new team is important for patient care because they all provide skills needed for different aspects in the rehabilitation process. Also, with this new team we can now do more than just treat the patient, we can now teach rehabilitation in a classroom and in a clinic. Adding these new people to the sports medicine team will make the rehabilitation process better for the athlete because they will have all aspects covered and be in the best possible hands.

Most of us were taught growing up to choose our words wisely, as at times they can have different impacts on people. In relation to this article, we can see a prime example of this within health care. It is concluded that depending on the circumstance the appropriateness of team work vs. group work should be knowledgeably chosen. When grouped, the members usually interact to share information, best practice, or perspectives and make decisions to help each other perform more effectively within each member’s individual area of responsibility.1 Therefore, when performance goals can be met through individuals doing their own jobs the group approach may be more effective. The health care sector has used the term team, as it has been seen to improve performance.1 It is common that members of a team tend to have leaders who effectively take charge to reach the goal in the most efficient way. However, in conclusion, both words have relatively the same connotation. Both respectively, have to do with people working together to achieve a common goal. Which in Health Care it is always important to get the task at hand done efficiently and successfully.

In the article, A Team Approach: Demonstrating Sport Rehabilitation’s Effectiveness and Enhancing Patient Care Through Clinical Outcomes Assessment, there was an emphasis on team work in health care, but more so with clinicians, educators, and scholars. The need for a new team with the teammates I just listed is important for getting the best results out of the care a patient receives, and introducing new information and techniques into the field to help future patients. Having this team in heath care is also important so that all of the care providers are on the same page, and to make sure that treatments aren't contradicting each other. A newer concept to the whole team idea is bringing educators and students into the team. With doing so students will practice and eventually value and routinely collect patient outcomes. Overall the health care teams main focus is to make sure the patient is receiving the most effective treatments available.

According to this article, there needs to be another approach to the team approach in sports medicine. The most common team talked about is made up of athletic trainers, physical therapists and physicians. This common team is not enough. This article focuses on a team made up of clinicians, educators, and scholars. They are to focus on evidence based research, and evaluate the specifics with each athlete’s recovery. What this means, is that right now, when an athlete recovers from an injury, they are treated just like every single other person who has had that same injury. If researchers start to focus on intraprofessional boundaries, they can learn to develop more specific techniques to help their patients. This is a team approach because it cannot be done without a team. Each person has a role, and those roles could not be handled well under a single person. One person could add prepare future students to be effective evaluators, another could investigate to find effective treatments. The goal this team approach takes is effectiveness, and order to be effective they need that team.

While reading this article, I have gotten a better understanding of the type of team the sport rehabilitation world has and is adapting into. When you think team approach for any type of sporting injury, you commonly think Athletic Trainers, Physical Therapists, and Physicians. While all of those are extremely important, the team approach in sport rehabilitation is now expanding with the more broad terms of Clinicians, Educators, and Scholars.¹ The expansion of these words is helpful to the team approach in rehab for many reasons. One of the most important reasons is in expand knowledge through research. This research is used to teach not only the Athletic Trainers, Physical Therapists, and Physicians more about how the body should heal through rehabilitation, but to teach the patient what is happening in their healing process. This research should not only be taught in a lecture form, but clinically as well.¹ People are more likely to understand the process if it is shown clinically, rather than through simple verbal communication. Within any team approach, every team member has their own job and their own goal. By broadening these member positions, there is more room for focus in specific areas and more room for improvement. The ultimate goal for rehabilitation is to get the patient back to being pain-free and having full range of motion. This process is more effective with a team approach, rather than one single member trying to focus on all aspects of the injury and rehabilitation.

In this article, i learned the importance of having a Sports Medicine Team and why it is important to have a well working team while working with a patient. In this article “Teamwork in Pediatric Heart Care” they discussed how this idea of teamwork applies to such a complicated process such as heart care. When looked at from an outside point overview, we can see the mass effort it takes to take care of the patient. It is a contribution of the initial cardiac doctors, to create the first diagnosis, then to the pre-surgery care, with nurses and anesthesiology professionals that help with the surgery itself, then to the surgeons themselves and followed by post surgery care, with more nurses and caretakers. And to work together they must all work as one. If one of these profession does not work together completely the process is disrupted and is slowed down. So in order to keep this process fast and efficient, all pieces of the process must be working together.

This article proposes a new approach to a sports medicine team based upon intraprofessional, not interprofessional boundaries. Having a sports medicine team with good communication and teamwork skills is vital to efficient patient recovery. This is especially the case in sport rehabilitation settings, as more than one type of professional is necessary to create an effective care plan. This team of professionals is able to include “clinicians, educators, and scholars and is vital for successful evidence-based practice (EBP) and evaluation of patient outcomes.” This new approach allows for each team member to contribute in unique ways, adding to a patient’s overall health plan. For example, one member may be conducting research to determine the most effective rehabilitation plan post ACL surgery for the quickest recovery time. While on the other hand, one teammate may be training and teaching students how to perform such rehabilitation techniques. Though both of these contributions are very different from each other, they both depend on each other. If no one was instructing students on how to become physical therapists, researching rehabilitation techniques would become quite unnecessary. All in all, each individual on a sports medicine team depends upon each other’s contributions, working together to provide the most effective treatment for their patients.

In this article, Groups or Teams in Healthcare: Finding the Best Fit it discusses the difference between groups and teams. It explains, how teams work in most healthcare settings and are usually beneficial, but might not be as effective as people think they are. Some may argue that groups are a better way to go because they are more appropriate, less risky, and less disruptive. Although, groups can be beneficial teams are becoming more common within the healthcare system. They have been increasing performance which, increase their output. Healthcare systems are in the process from transitioning from groups to teams, but they are worried that people may expect a lot from teams and that may ruin the entire concept. A large amount of ideas have been introduced to help benefit both groups and teams in the healthcare setting. Depending on the circumstances sometimes a group may be more effective than a team and vise versa. When it comes down to it working in a group or a team is much more effective than working individually.

This article made me realize why we must have sports medicine teams. They are used for many reasons. There are so many different body parts and different body functions that we need sports medicine teams so we can have experts for every level of the body. Instead of having one person or doctor working with the patient on becoming healthy or rehabbing, we can have a whole team of experts in their respective fields working together and collaborating on how to return the patient back to their normal health. To find these different rehabilitation techniques, scholars, educators, and clinicians must work together and research various ways to help patients or else they would be unsuccessful. Clinicians are very involved with practice based research which contributes to the process. Educators also play a very big role in this process because they are the people who teach college classes on all of the medical fields and are essentially the beginning of scholar’s medical careers. Sports medicine teams are great for patients and their recovery and overall health. I don’t know why you would rather stick to one doctor in one specific field when you can consult many in their own fields and have them all help you recover. It is one of the most effective ways to return to normal health.

In this article we learn the importance of a team approach in sports medicine. When we think of a classic athletic based injury the names athletic trainer, physical therapist and physician usually pop into our heads. This article focuses on members of the medical team that we don’t commonly think about such as, educators, scholars and clinicians. Having multiple different people on your team who specialize in specific subjects will give the patient/athlete a better diagnosis and a quicker recovery. This should all be taught clinically because it is easier for the athlete is see and feel what is going on, rather than just verbal communication. The end goal for rehabilitation is to regain range of motion and have no pain. This article is trying to explain that if a single person tries to focus on every part of the injury and rehabilitation it is not as effective as a team approach.

This article discussed the transitioning to a new type of team in sports medicine. Three significant members to this team mentioned in the article were clinicians, educators, and scholars, in addition to the doctors, physical therapists, among others who all contribute in their own way and offer something unique to the team. These people focus on different ways to help each individual athlete through the process and try to find any way for that specific athlete to recover quicker, as opposed to treating all athletes with a specific injury (such as a torn ACL) the exact same. Instead, they look for different methods that would help a certain indiviual recover from an injury faster than the expected time. This is regarded as this team focusing on intraprofessional boundaries which appears to be the future of teamwork in sports medicine. This new way of teamwork as opposed to a doctor or two trying to handle everything by themselves is much more structured and will be more successful, since there are many people who all specialize in something different.

In the article I read it talks about the differences between groups and teams in the medical field. It talks about the importance of each in certain scenarios and what one can bring to the table while the other cannot and why some people may like groups more than teams and vice versa. For groups in health care, people argue that they are more appropriate because they can be less risky and less disruptive than team performances because they can be 'vague or elusive.' The argument is that groups can concentrate on their own problems and establish issue, which then become their own main focus. It sis argued that the team approach is only necessary when there is shared characteristic or goal that is distinctive to the members so the all members can work together towards a common goal with different end-products. In conclusion, both teams and groups are effective but only depending on the situation and what is the most appropriate approach.

ReplyDeleteIn the article A Team Approach: Demonstrating Sport Rehabilitation’s Effectiveness and Enhancing Patient Care Through Clinical Outcomes Assessment, the importance of using multiple medical professions are discussed. This importance of using the multiple medical professions is to get a clear understanding of what is happening in a patient. This is determined by the complete knowledge that can be only be gained by using multiple sources. Where this is especially important is during the rehabilitation phase of an injury. Like mentioned in the article surgeons often times have the most complete understanding of the body and it's repose to injury. While this may be true without the knowledge of how to implement these rehab programs through other professions the athlete won't see a proper outcome and the program as a whole won't be as effective. In order to have a successful rehab program there must be a foundation in research and then a physician, in necessary, and an athletic trainer, without these key parts the program will not be successful.
