What personal values characterize members of high performance teams?  What core principles are associated with high quality team-based health care? What is a person-centered perspective

With emphasis on a person-centered perspective, these and other questions are explored in this interactive eLearning module to illustrate the alignment of personal values and core principles with practice habits – competency behaviors – associated with high performance teams and teamwork in health care.

The American Therapeutic Recreation Association’s Code of Ethics is to be used as a guide for promoting and maintaining the highest standards of ethical behavior. The Code applies to all Recreational Therapy personnel. The term Recreational Therapy personnel includes Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialists (CTRS), recreational therapy assistants and recreational therapy students. Acceptance of membership in the American Therapeutic Recreation Association commits a member to adherence to these principles.

Interest in interprofessional education (IPE) and collaborative practice continue to grow (Frenk et al., 2010; Cox & Naylor,2013) but whether IPE improves clinical outcomes is uncertain.

This module provides an introduction to the roles and responsibilities of interprofessional primary care team members. It includes interactive activities to assist you to explain your own role and responsibilities to patients, families and team members.

The development of this module was supported (in part) by the Scottsdale Healthcare Hospitals (SHC) as part of the Graduate Nurse Education Development Project and by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation as part of the Interprofessional Primary Care Project (The Macy Project).

The EIC-ICU Toolkit is a series of three tools that are based on extensive theoretically informed qualitative research in a number of ICUs across North America. The Toolkit aims to address the related issues of interprofessional collaboration and patient family involvement in the ICU in an effort to improve the safety and quality of care delivery. These tools in this toolkit can be used collectively, as stand-alone activities, or can be incorporated into existing interprofessional team activities.

Toolkit in the Clinical Teacher

Despite its now long history, interprofessional education (IPE) is still not a routine component of health professional education. Although there are challenges when introducing IPE, as noted here, these may be overcome with careful planning and consideration of the learning outcomes for all of the students involved.
