Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center: Interprofessional Collaborative Practice services for cardiovascular risk reduction
The specific objectives of this Nurse Education, Practice, Quality and Retention (NEPQR) Project are to promote cardiovascular risk reduction in Chronic Disease Management (CDM) through interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP); provide services to enhance the quality of care to the most vulnerable and high risk populations through IPCP; provide opportunities for interprofessional teaching and learning experiences for health professions students; and improve access to quality care for vulnerable individuals in Lubbock and surrounding counties.
Measuring the Impact of Interprofessional Education on Collaborative Practice and Patient Outcomes
Exploring the importance of team psychological safety in the development of two interprofessional teams
It has been previously demonstrated that interactions within interprofessional teams are characterised by effective communication, shared decision-making, and knowledge sharing. This article outlines aspects of an action research study examining the emergence of these characteristics within change management teams made up of nurses, general practitioners, physiotherapists, care assistants, a health and safety officer, and a client at two residential care facilities for older people in Ireland.
Exploring interprofessional collaboration during the integration of diabetes teams into primary care
Background
Specialised diabetes teams, specifically certified nurse and dietitian diabetes educator teams, are being integrated part-time into primary care to provide better care and support for Canadians living with diabetes.
A sociological exploration of the tensions related to interprofessional collaboration in acute-care discharge planning
Patient discharge is a key concern in hospitals, particularly in acute care, given the multifaceted and challenging nature of patients’ healthcare needs. Policies on discharge have identified the importance of interprofessional collaboration, yet research has described its limitations in this clinical context. This study aimed to extend our understanding of interprofessional interactions related to discharge in a general internal medicine setting by using sociological theories to illuminate the existence of, and interplay between, structural factors and microlevel practices.
Roles and Responsibilities: It Takes a Team
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).

Methods
EIC-ICU Toolkit: Enhancing Interprofessional Collaboration in the Intensive Care Unit
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.
Loyola University Chicago: Interprofessional Care Coordination Teams to Address Diabetes
This project studies the impact of using a care coordination team on both outcomes for diabetic adult patients and outcomes for health care providers.
Virtual TeamSTEPPS® Simulations Produce Teamwork Attitude Changes Among Health Professions Students
Background:
The majority of the estimated 400,000 or more patient deaths per year in the United States are from preventable medical errors due to poor communication. Team training programs have been established to teach teamwork skills to health professions students. However, it is often challenging to provide this training at a physical site. A brief intervention using a virtual learning environment with TeamSTEPPS®-based scenarios is described.
