Measuring the Impact of Interprofessional Education on Collaborative Practice and Patient Outcomes
Over the past half century, there have been ebbs and flows of interest in linking what is now called interprofessional education (IPE) with interprofessional collaboration and team-based care. Whereas considerable research has focused on student learning, only recently have researchers begun to look beyond the classroom and beyond learning outcomes for the impact of IPE on such issues as patient safety, patient and provider satisfaction, quality of care, health promotion, population health, and the cost of care.
Duluth-Area Interprofessional Practice and Education
I hope this can be a neutral convening space for collaborators in the Duluth area.
Interprofessional Client-Centred Collaborative Practice: What Does it Look Like? How Can it be Achieved?
Interprofessional client-centered collaborative practice (ICCCP) is collective by nature, emerging as it does at the intersection of a wide variety of professional knowledge and scopes of practice. Many studies of ICCCP focus on the determinants or inputs of collaborative practice as well as on the results, outputs, or outcomes. This is echoed methodologically, as a preponderance of ICCCP teamwork studies primarily employ interview and survey data.

An Example of Interventional Audiology in an Interprofessional Post-Trauma Clinic
Although often discussed separately, interventional audiology and inter-professional healthcare ideally go hand-in-hand. This article describes how we apply interventional audiology in an inter-professional setting affecting the care of trauma patients on the day of services and in the future to improve recovery and reduce future trauma. In addition, we provide data that illustrate that the inter-professional setting affects future practices of the professionals who become aware of the positive impact improved communication has on their patients.
Design and Evaluation of interprofessional cross-cultural communication sessions
The 2013 National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) call for healthcare professionals to provide quality care and services that are responsive to diverse cultural health beliefs and practices. Accreditation organizations for health professional programs require their curriculum to adequately prepare future practitioners for serving culturally and linguistically diverse populations. Another common curricular need of health professional programs is interprofessional education (IPE).
Mapping Collective Sensemaking in Communication: The Interprofessional Patient Case Review in Acute Care Rounds
INTRODUCTION Observational studies of the actual practices of interprofessional collaborative practice (ICP) are needed to complement research on the determinants and consequences of collaboration. This naturalistic study of team communication maps a key practice: the patient case review in daily rounds. Here, ICP is conceptualized as collective sensemaking, or the joint description of the patient’s situation and associated action planning—a fundamentally communicative practice.
Leveraging mobile smart devices to improve interprofessional communications in inpatient practice setting: A literature review
As mobile smart device use has increased in society, the healthcare community has begun using these devices for communication among professionals in practice settings. The purpose of this review is to describe primary literature which reports on the experiences with interprofessional healthcare communication via mobile smart devices. Based on these findings, this review also addresses how these devices may be utilized to facilitate interprofessional education (IPE) in health professions education programs.
University of Minnesota: Utilizing IPECP for Dentistry and Pharmacy
This project is focused on interprofessional education and collaborative practice between pharmacists and oral health professionals by adding medication therapy management services to existing general dentistry practice.
Integrating the Electronic Health Record into high-fidelity interprofessional intensive care unit simulations
With the rapid adoption of electronic health records (EHR), there is a growing appreciation for the central role they play in clinical decision making and team communication, with many studies documenting new safety issues with integration of the EHR into the clinical enterprise. To study these issues, we created a high-fidelity simulation instance of our clinical EHR. In this paper, we describe the impact of integrating the EHR into high-fidelity, interprofessional intensive care unit (ICU) simulations, and the errors induced.
