Abstract

The goal of this project is to provide the information needed for interprofessional collaboration focused on patient-centered care for patients requiring, or who have, a venous access device (VAD). In this project, I outline the process of developing an evidence-based curriculum to support interprofessional education for such patients with long-term venous access. Parse's theory of humanbecoming, constructivist theory, and narrative pedagogy were used as the basis for the curriculum development for a two-day workshop for interprofessional edcuation. A case study was used to highlight how care changes when the focus is on patient/family-centered care rather than provider centered. A key feature of this curriculum was the use of a case study to guide the participants in the care of those facing a vascular depletion diagnosis, and a VAD intervention.
