The University of Chicago fielded one of the six teams competing in the first-ever National Interprofessional Team Case Competition: A Systems-Based Practice, held April 8th and 9th at the University of Minnesota. This competition is sponsored by CLARION, a student organization dedicated to improving health care through interprofessional collaboration. The University of Chicago team consisted of Sam Seiden, a medical student with extensive research in patient safety issues, William Jackman a student in the combined MD/MBA program, and Nicole Eitmann, a doctoral student at the Harris School of Public Policy who also has a law degree. Faculty advisors, Vineet Arora, MD and Julie Mohr, PhD, provided guidance and support. The team was asked to identify system failures and present solutions, including an economic analysis, for a 28-page case describing a young schizophrenic female patient who suffered a clozapine overdose following a series of system failures during hospitalization.
