From a big-picture visual to supporting data cards and group dialog to tips for facilitators, this hands-on tool will help you consider the determinants underlying the health problems faced by your patients as well as a 6-step process for leading change in your community.
WHO: This tool is flexible enough to be used by a variety of healthcare students and professionals, for training and for workforce development. It is especially effective when used with interdisciplinary teams.
Showcase Title: Practical Playbook: Supporting Partnerships to Improve Health Outcomes*
Description:
A 2012 Institute of Medicine report emphasized the increased need for public health and primary care to partner and work together to address multiple determinants of health and improve health outcomes. To this end, Duke University's Department of Community and Family Medicine, the de Beaumont Foundation, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention developed the Practical Playbook (PPB). The PPB provides tools and resources for both practitioners and educators in public health and primary care who want to implement practical strategies to improve population health outcomes. The PPB also coordinates and provides technical support for collaborative stakeholders in communities selected by the BUILD Health Challenge, evaluating and disseminating best practices for what works and how partners can work together. In this session, we wish to share with participants lessons that we have learned from supporting partnership development processes and insights that could be valuable about such collaborative work for others.

Two landmark reports set in motion the idea for establishing a global network of health professionals that could be the catalyst for needed reforms in health and educational systems around the world. These reports—Health Professionals for a New Century (Frenk et al., 2010) and The Future of Nursing (IOM, 2011)—laid the foundation for the establishment of the Global Forum on Innovation in Health Professional Education (the Forum) in January 2012. As part of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, the Forum offers a neutral platform on which all health professions can come together to share valued perspectives on topics of mutual concern.
National Center for Integrative Primary Healthcare
Showcase Title: The National Center for Integrative Primary Healthcare Enhancing Interprofessional Integrative Health Education
Description:
Evidence for the clinical and cost effectiveness of integrative healthcare is accruing; however a shortage of trained integrative health providers has hindered widespread adoption of these approaches into the healthcare system. The University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine (AzCIM) in collaboration with the Academic Consortium for Integrative Medicine and Health received a HRSA grant to establish the National Center for Integrative Primary Healthcare (NCIPH) to address this need. The NCIPH supports the incorporation of competency-and evidence-based Integrative Healthcare (IH) curricula into educational programs. The ultimate goal of this project is to transform primary care health professional education to include an emphasis on providing an integrative approach to patient care utilizing an interprofessional collaborative team.
The center goals are:
- Establish an interprofessional leadership team
- Develop a coordinated set of competencies in IH across primary care professions
- Develop a 45-hour interprofesssional IH curriculum for primary care
- Create an accessible and interactive online infrastructure to house IH curriculum, best practices, and resources
- Develop patient education materials and facilitate access to IH practitioners working with the underserved

The Oral Health Nursing Education and Practice (OHNEP) Program is a workforce-redesign initiative committed to advancing the integration of oral health into the nursing profession in educational and clinical settings. This national initiative aims to develop a nursing workforce equipped with the interprofessional oral health competencies to recognize the importance of oral health promotion and disease prevention as an integral component of nursing practice. OHNEP supports the collaborative of nurse practitioners, midwives, registered nurses, and licensed practical nurses as key stakeholders on interprofessional teams across the health system that promote national efforts to expand oral health access, reduce oral health disparities, and improve oral health and overall health outcomes across the lifespan.
The mission of the OHNEP Program is to:
- Implement and evaluate the impact of a replicable interprofessional model for integrating interprofessional oral health competencies through faculty development and curriculum integration in undergraduate and graduate nursing programs as well as “best practices” in clinical settings
- Disseminate its interprofessional oral health model and best practices nationally
- Develop a nursing workforce that is knowledgeable about the relationship between oral and systemic health
- Develop a nursing workforce that is collaborative-practice ready to integrate interprofessional oral health competencies into their clinical practice
Student Run Free Clinic Faculty Association
Showcase Title: Student Run Free Clinics Interprofessional Clinical Practice Sites
Description:
Students volunteering in a student-run free clinic have been shown to maintain high attitudes towards working together on interprofessional teams. This environment provides interprofessional teams of student the opportunity to care for underserved patients under the tutelage of interprofessional teams of preceptors. Many models for how this can be done exist all over the country. Recognizing that starting, maintaining, and growing a student-run free clinic is challenging, a group of faculty from these clinics started meeting on an annual basis at the Society of Student Run Free Clinics Annual Conference to share ideas. Out of this grew the Student Run Free Clinic Faculty Association which creates a network of faculty, clinicians and staff involved in student-run free clinics and provides a mechanism to share data and outcomes to improve these clinics. This showcase and consultation kiosk will bring the expertise of the President and PresidentElect of the Association to talk about the tools, tips and resources for starting a new clinic or enhancing one which already exists. We will talk about practical operational issues such as finances and pharmaceuticals and facultyspecific issues of scholarship and promotion. Afterwards we will be available to speak oneonone to interested attendees.
University of Missouri Kansas City
Showcase Title: Fostering Effective Community Partnerships to Develop Team Identity: Lessons Learned from Rural and Urban Practice Partnerships
Description:
Participants will discover the importance of fostering current clinical partnerships while developing new relationships prior to embarking on IPE projects, based on lessons learned. Building effect leadership teams while increasing trust and enhancing relationships is essential to the process. Without community clinical practice partnerships, students are unable to fully experience interprofessional training. Many current providers have not experienced formal education on how to work effectively within interprofessional teams. In this project, training was provided to teams of providers, students and staff from the clinics involved, focusing on IPE, incorporating process improvement to address the patient’s behavioral health needs while working to improve the patient’s healthcare outcomes. Teamwork is an essential component to the scheduling and implementation of this training. The benefits of working collaboratively with community stakeholders, fostering interprofessional relationships, focused on improving patient satisfaction, reduction of health care costs, and improving health outcomes in the current NEPQR rural project setting will be discussed.
