| Module Description: |
The aim of the module will be to empower practitioners work at advanced level in leading and developing integrated person-centred care in order to deliver better outcomes for people, professionals and organisations. This module will situate advanced practice in an integrated care context reflecting contemporary national (HSE 2015; DoH 2016, 2017; Government of Ireland 2019) and international (WHO 2005; 2007; 2010; 2017) health and social care policy. An integrated care approach is recognised by the WHO as fundamental to addressing Goal 3 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN 2015). Advanced practice with integrated care recognises the changing nature of population needs. This seeks to move away from managing acute, episodic care to a more holistic, person-centred, longitudinal approach to care and case management. This in turn requires advanced practitioners to re-examine their philosophy and practice. In doing so practitioners will reconsider the nature and focus of their work within and outside traditional institutional relationships. Consequently, this
module will prepare advanced practitioners to understand the shift in service models and
associated implications for advanced practice. In doing so, the module will draw on national
and international policy on integrated care, explore the fundamentals of integrated care
(philosophy, values) and enable practitioners to embrace and implement the critical
enablers of integrated care (care process/service redesign). Students will be supported to develop e-learning skills and use of technology though extensive online resources via the IFIC website.
