UNM DFCM Vice Chair of Education Ease and Joy of Practice Series Precepting in the Patient's Presence (PIPP) Encounter time by 2 minutes Pt face time by 3 minutes Pt perception 6 more minutes w/ them Vs Conference Room Staffing Thoughtful article/ RCT of 209 encounters by David Power documenting the benefits of students or residents presenting in the patient room. http://www.stfm.org/FamilyMedicine/Vol49Issue2/Power97 I have enjoyed doing this with my students and resident. Also helpful with time-based billing since you are spending more time face-to-face with the patient. Daniel Stulberg, M.D. The studies show good patient comfort with having learners present to faculty in the patient room and a preference for PIPP in the future. Learner perceptions were positive and faculty preferred PIPP for teaching, learning, patient care and time efficiency. The current study included a patient population with a high percentage of Medicaid patients, low health literacy and high rates of needing an interpreter.
