Advocating for the Patient in an Interprofessional Environment (#1202)

This simulation was developed in collaboration with Carolyn Loy and Debbie Gillis at Toronto East General Hospital and Tracey Dyer at Centennial College.

A woman with terminal cancer wants to die at home. She and/or her oldest daughter meet with the health care team to discuss her options.

• Coordinate the needs of the patient and family within the scope of practice of the team members
• Develop and practice skills necessary to be responsive to each other's assessment 
• Negotiate changes in the patient care plan 
• Ensure synthesis of interdisciplinary findings 
• Create a comprehensive and collaborative plan of care

Mrs. Pink was admitted to the hospital after a fall at home. She has end stage cancer and wishes to return home as soon as possible.
