University of Southern Indiana: Student Team Develop Comprehensive Care Plans
Students engage with the Veteran’s Administration (VA) Patient Aligned Care Teams (PACT), as well as nurse practitioners and support staff from the USI Community Health Centers, to develop comprehensive care plans and provide patient care. The teams are charged with developing a plan of care that addresses an individual’s primary health care needs.
Resources for the plan include individual, family and community assessments, and it is developed in collaboration with the IPE team, the individual and the family/support system. The teams also integrate technology such as telehealth to assist and support the patients for better self-management of their health. USI faculty members serve as Interprofessional Clinical Coaches (ICC) at each location. Intended intervention outcomes include improved management of chronic conditions and reduced hospital admissions.
South Dakota Nexus: Promoting Quality Conversations about Advance Care Planning in South Dakota through Interprofessional Teams
In order to meet South Dakota’s need for a unified approach towards Advance Care Planning (ACP), the University of South Dakota’s (USD) Department of Nursing assembled an interprofessional, collaborative network of health professionals to pilot an ACP process. The ultimate goal is to implement a process statewide. The project starts by training learners in USD’s School of Health Science as “First Steps Facilitators,” based on the model pioneered by the Gunderson Respecting Choices® program. Following initial implementation of the training in Sioux Falls, ACP Facilitator training will be integrated into USD’s Health Sciences’ curriculum at USD campuses throughout the state. Trained facilitators will implement the approach to ACP at a number of intervention sites in Vermillion, South Dakota. The community was chosen because it has a hospital, a senior center, and a nursing home that already partner with USD as part of the health sciences curriculum. If the intervention has positive results, it will be scaled up to a state-wide level. A pre-post design will be used to assess the impact of the unified approach to ACP on the state.
Toolkit for the Ambulatory Team Objective Structured Clinical Examination (ATOSCE)
The ATOSCE is a simulation and assessment tool involving an interprofessional, ambulatory (outpatient) encounter. Western University of Health Sciences developed the tool to provide geriatric-focused IPE teamwork education and practice with simulated exercises. Two cases were developed and scripted for actors portraying the standardized patients, a standardized caregiver, and standardized clinicians.

Interprofessional Competencies in Integrative Primary Healthcare
In October 2014, the National Center for Integrative Primary Healthcare (NCIPH) was launched as a collaboration between the University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine and the Academic Consortium for Integrative Health and Medicine and supported by a grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration. A primary goal of the NCIPH is to develop a core set of integrative healthcare (IH) competencies and educational programs that will span the interprofessional primary care training and practice spectrums and ultimately become a required part of primary care education.

Old Dominion University: IPEC Competency #2 Roles and Responsibilities
This learning activity is grounded in IPEC Competency Two: Roles and Responsibilities. The purpose of the video is to enhance the student’s knowledge of their own role as well as the roles and contributions of other professions. Therefore, the primary focus of the video is to illustrate how health professionals from various fields impact the health of public as well as individual plans of health care and the resultant health outcomes rather than to highlight the specific details of a patient care conference.
