    Topics: 

    Access to Care, Linking Outcomes to Reducing Costs in Health Care and/or Education, Promoting Teamwork, Patient Safety & Quality Improvement in IPE

    Overview: 

    The Interprofessional Care Access Network (I-CAN), a Nexus Innovation Network member and NEPQR grantee, provides an academic-practice model for interprofessional education and collaborative practice designed to enhance the healthcare experience, improve population health outcomes, and reduce healthcare costs by addressing social determinants of health. Oregon Health and Sciences University (OHSU) and Oregon State University (OSU) interprofessional faculty and student teams work with the Neighborhood Collaborative for Academic Practice Partnership (NCAPPs) in federally qualified health centers, dental clinics and community agencies in urban and rural Oregon. Focusing on upstream social determinants of health, the I-CAN fills a gap in the current system by advancing the health and well-being of at-risk individuals for whom standard approaches to healthcare navigation and engagement have failed.  NCAPP partners identify individuals with whom students collaborate to develop and prioritize a coordinated care plan and address health-related problems and barriers. 

    The I-CAN interactive workshop will explain the reproducible and scalable I-CAN model, describe project integration within curricula and communities, and engage workshop participants in facilitated case-based discussion and the “zoom” analysis model to enhance learning and sustainable intervention. Materials that will be shared include:  a description of the I-CAN model and population health framework, case studies, shared examples, and guided interprofessional workgroup problem-solving exercises to discuss how neighborhoods can be transformed through partnership.

    Learner Objectives: 

    1. Identify how the I-CAN model could inform and inspire healthcare innovation within your academic-community-practice environment;

    2. Describe a strategy for addressing Triple Aim goals along a continuum that links individual and population health;

    3. Evaluate an interprofessional model that prepares the future healthcare workforce to lead health and policy reform that is responsive to the needs of vulnerable and underserved clients, families, and communities;

    4. Explore examples of values-based learning during debrief and/or reflection about I-CAN interprofessional clinical experiences.
