VA Connecticut Healthcare System at the West Haven Campus has established a Center that will train future healthcare professionals to function effectively within teams to provide exceptional quality patient centered care. The educational objectives of the program follow the enterprise core domains.

The Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center is "Transforming Out-Patient Care" (TOPC) by creating and enabling physicians, nurse practitioners and associated health learners to lead and participate in patient-centered interprofessional teams. The mission recognizes the importance of a comprehensive care model and the need for care transitions across venues (e.g. coordination of acute care to out-patient environment). The site has developed a competency based curriculum to support this model guided by CoEPCE/enterprise core domains.

The Seattle CoEPCE is working to advance education of interdisciplinary teams and develop clinical leaders who deliver patient-centered care, transform delivery of healthcare services, and improve health outcomes. A central focus of the Seattle CoEPCE is to develop skills needed for collaborative primary care practice during training.

Formal training, workplace learning and reflection drive the Boise Center of Excellence’s team-based primary care curricula. This interprofessional curriculum supports several disciplines, particularly nurse practitioner, internal medicine and pharmacy residents, and psychology interns and post-doctoral fellows. To deepen trainees’ understanding of interdependent roles and optimize preparation for practice in a transforming healthcare system, the Center also fosters multidisciplinary, continuous quality improvement (CQI) projects.

Program Highlights

The San Francisco Center and Education for Patient Aligned Care Teams (EDPACT) is working to develop and implement a model of patient-centered, interprofessional education. The goal is to bring together teams of trainees, physicians, advanced practice and other nurses and associated health care providers to build shared knowledge and incorporate design principles for optimal workplace learning.

A global panel of representatives from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe, Australasia, Japan, Eastern and African countries, and the World Health Organization will engage in a moderated dialogue covering top issues related to interprofessional education and practice from their respective regions.
