Indiana University: The Indiana University Student Outreach Clinic Nexus Project
Leaders have identified a need to enhance knowledge about roles, scope of practice, and training of professions at the clinic. Leaders are concerned that lack of knowledge is reducing interprofessional collaboration and contributing to inappropriate, over-, or under-utilization of services.
The main objective of this project is to improve quality of care, increase interprofessional collaboration, and increase efficiency in utilization of resources by: 1) increasing knowledge about roles, scope of practice, and training of the professions at the clinic and 2) assembling an interprofessional team to screen patients on admission to the clinic and make recommendations for collaboration across professions.
