Transforming Patient Care: Aligning Interprofessional Education with Clinical Practice Redesign outlines a series of recommendations to align healthcare education and practice, providing immediate action steps to link interprofessional education and collaborative care.

The recommendations stem from a January 2013 Macy Conference where leaders in health professions education and healthcare delivery came together to discuss how they might align their efforts.

As health professions education and healthcare delivery undergo rapid change, stimulated in part by the Affordable Care Act, it is critical that they not be developed in isolation. Educational reform must incorporate practice redesign, and delivery system change must include a central educational mission for transformation to endure.
