Does source matter? Nurses' and Physicians' perceptions of interprofessional feedback
Objective
Receptiveness to interprofessional feedback, which is important for optimal collaboration, may be influenced by ‘in-group or out-group’ categorisation, as suggested by social identity theory. We used an experimental design to explore how nurses and resident physicians perceive feedback from people within and outside their own professional group.

The Patient-Centered Medical Home's Impact on Cost and Quality: Annual Review of Evidence, 2014-2015
As in previous editions, this year’s Annual Review of the Evidence provides a summary of PCMH cost and utilization results from peer-reviewed studies, state government evaluations, industry reports, and new this year, independent federal program evaluations published between October 2014 and November 2015. It reviews the recent evidence for PCMH and advanced primary care in light of new and long-awaited developments in health system payment reform including Medicare’s transition to value-based payments and passage of the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA).
A Case-based Interprofessional Education Forum Improves Students' Perspectives on the Need for Collaboration, Teamwork, and Communication
Interprofessional education (IPE) focusing on patient centered care is an emerging trend in health care education. With the goal of facilitating interprofessional teamwork and collaboration, an IPE forum was implemented following the keys to success outlined by Buring et al, and the impact of the IPE experience on health science students was examined using the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) and the Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale (IEPS).

Relationship of organizational culture, teamwork and job satisfaction in interprofessional teams
Background
Team effectiveness is often explained on the basis of input-process-output (IPO) models. According to these models a relationship between organizational culture (input = I), interprofessional teamwork (process = P) and job satisfaction (output = O) is postulated. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between these three aspects using structural analysis.

Team-Based Learning for Nursing and Medical Students: Focus Group Results From an Interprofessional Education Project
Past research indicates that inadequacies in health care delivery create substantial preventable quality issues that can be addressed through improving relationships among clinicians to decrease the negative effects on patient outcomes. The purpose of this article is to describe the implementation of an interprofessional education project with senior nursing and third-year medical students working in teams in a clinical setting. Results include data from focus groups conducted at the conclusion of the project.
