Interprofessional Response

Interprofessional Response Order Description   Title of Project: Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Education for High-Risk Individuals Problem statement: According to the Center of Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC) (2017) of the United States, daily PrEP reduces the risk of getting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) from sex by more than 90%. PrEP can stop HIV from infecting and spreading throughout your body. It is highly effective for preventing HIV if used as prescribed. HIV prevention is a major concern in the United States and is a growing epidemic. In 2014, an estimated 1.1 million persons aged 13 and older were living with HIV (CDC, 2015). About 50,000 people get infected with HIV each year (CDC, 2017). Due to the new advancement in medical treatment PrEP can prevent or control the spread of infection. PrEP is only prescribed for a patient that are considered high-risk for contracting HIV. The high-risk target group includes men who have sex with men (MSM), HIV-discordant couples (one partner has HIV the other partner doesn’t), and injection drugs users. In addition, PrEP is can be used if an HIV positive partner wants to have a baby. The target group is MSM’s population in Gadsden County, Florida. A collaboration from Gadsden County Health Department (GCHD) and Gadsden County Jail will increase awareness and provide treatment. Currently, there is no data as of how many do not have access to treatment. However, the Surgeon General of Florida wants to eradicate the spread of HIV among the high-risk population by providing PrEP therapy in 67 counties health department (CHD) free of charge (Ryder, P. 2017). Plan: Implement policy, PowerPoint, teaching plan, for staff and MSM’s. Goal: To decrease the transmission of HIV in high-risk individual, educate the individual about the medications and regimen, and provide referrals services to help individuals minimize their exposure to HIV.

HERE'S THE RUBRIC PLEASE FOLLOW Interprofessional Primary Response Post your first collaborative response to the project you have adopted, directly under that student's project thread. In addition, copy and paste the response to be graded using the submit assignment button. The feedback should be specific and meaningful, and it should provide discussion of resources, references, or both to assist the student’s project. Follow instructions provided in the rubric. Your first response as primary responder is very important, as you are critiquing and helping each other perfect your projects. Your response helps faculty evaluate how well you synthesize the concepts of writing up a project. The two requirements for this assignmentare as follows: 1. Use constructive, professional, and supportive feedback and assist with critique of selected project. Initially, you should be evaluating the title, problem statement, plan, and overall goal, demonstrating how well you comprehend the concepts. Ask yourself the following questions: How well does it meet the expectations in the rubric? What suggestions can you offer? Is the problem statement clear or is it missing something? Does it address who, what, where, and why? Is the plan complete? Is the evidence of completion complete? Is the goal well written? Does it have all the following components: condition, who, performance, and criterion. If not, what changes can you offer? Can the performance be properly evaluated for the criterion selected? Are the objectives solid? Have they overlooked a possible objective, etc.? Essentially, you are helping to make sure they are on the right track and avoid any surprises. This is similar to when you complete a review of the literature; you are using all your critical reflection and critical thinking skills. 2. Share relevant and meaningful information, helpful literature, websites,etc. Find resources that will help enhance the project. Inform the project manager why the resource will aid the project. What makes the resource especially important? Share your own professional experiences as they relate to the project. Again, faculty is evaluating your ability to critically think – not just for your project, but for a peer project too.
