This report highlights four areas of National Center progress during Year Three. Because of the sheer volume of National Center activity, we have chosen our most important achievements – showing where we are making a significant difference in the national conversation about health care transformation.
Highlights of Year Three include:
Addressing the Interprofessional Collaboration Competencies of the Association of American Medical Colleges: A Systematic Review of Assessment Instruments in Undergraduate Medical Education
PURPOSE:
To summarize characteristics and validity evidence of tools that assess teamwork in undergraduate medical education (UME), and provide recommendations for addressing the interprofessional collaboration competencies of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC).
METHOD:
IPEPI: Interprofessional Education and Practice Inventory
PURPOSE:
Teamwork has become an integral part of health care delivery. Such emphasis on teamwork has generated the need to systematically measure and improve the learning and performance of health care teams. The purpose of this study was to develop a comprehensive assessment instrument, the Interprofessional Education and Practice Inventory (IPEPI), to evaluate learning and performance in interprofessional health care teams.
METHODS:
Participation in an Interprofessional Health Fair: Student Perceptions of Teamwork and the Role of Faculty
INTRODUCTION Development of interprofessional skills is increasingly recognized as a critical component in the preparation of health professionals. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of preparation and participation in an interprofessional educational experience on health professions students’ perceptions of teamwork and communication skills.
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).
Moving Beyond PowerPoint
An article that discusses the use of virtual reality role-playing, high-fidelity simulation and online forums in nursing education. The creation and use of the ACE-15 tool as a measurement tool is also discussed as a means to improve the interprofessionalism at clinical rotation sites. Nexus Innovation Network Site Oregon Health and Science University is a focus.
The National United States Center Data Repository: Core essential interprofessional practice & education data enabling triple aim analytics
Understanding the impact that interprofessional education and collaborative practice (IPECP) might have on triple aim patient outcomes is of high interest to health care providers, educators, administrators, and policy makers. Before the work undertaken by the National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education at the University of Minnesota, no standard mechanism to acquire and report outcome data related to interprofessional education and collaborative practice and its effect on triple aim outcomes existed.
Perceived benefits and challenges of interprofessional education based on a multidisciplinary faculty member survey
OBJECTIVE:
To identify differences among faculty members in various health professional training programs in perceived benefits and challenges of implementing interprofessional education (IPE).
METHODS:
A 19-item survey using a 5-point Likert scale was administered to faculty members across different health disciplines at a west coast, multicollege university with osteopathic medicine, pharmacy, and physician assistant programs.
RESULTS:
TDM: Team Development Measure
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Our objective was to describe the psychometric properties of a measure of team development that can be used to assess and guide team functioning in health care settings.
Redesigning inpatient care: Testing the effectiveness of an accountable care team model
OBJECTIVE
Describe a model of inpatient care and measure its impact.
DESIGN
A quantitative assessment of the implementation of a new model of care. The graded implementation of the model allowed us to follow outcomes and measure their association with the dose of the implementation.
SETTING AND PATIENTS
Inpatient medical and surgical units in a large academic health center.
