Teamwork and Collaboration Bibliography
This annotated bibliography from the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses Institute provides an overview of resources that have contributed to the discussion surrounding interprofessional practice and education. Dating from 1997 to 2013, the abstract and references for each resource are included.
Kansas Preceptor Toolkit Webinar
The University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC) and the National Center have teamed up to develop a toolkit for preceptors. Resources were designed for providers who wish to transform their practices into exemplary interprofessional collaborative practice and interprofessional education sites for patients, students, and other healthcare practitioners.
Implementation of interprofessional learning activities in a professional practicum: The emerging role of technology.
To prepare future healthcare professionals to collaborate effectively, many universities have developed interprofessional education programs (IPE). Till date, these programs have been mostly courses or clinical simulation experiences. Few attempts have been made to pursue IPE in healthcare clinical settings. This article presents the results of a pilot project in which interprofessional learning activities (ILAs) were implemented during students' professional practicum and discusses the actual and potential use of informatics in the ILA implementation.
Importance of Interprofessional Education, Practice and Research in the Pharmacy Curriculum in the Era of Globalization
The profession of pharmacy has evolved gradually for more than a century and has seen many educational challenges and reforms. The pharmacy curriculum is science-based and varies widely in different parts of the world in both content and outcomes. The global pharmacy curriculum could be broadly categorized as product/industry-focused or patient-focused. In the United States (US), the baccalaureate degree has been replaced with the entry level Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) curriculum.
True Grit: Promoting Student Resiliency Through Interprofessional Education (IPE)
Health professional students must learn how to be resilient. Today’s global society is increasingly diverse and complex requiring resiliency to successfully navigate challenges in the workplace. Healthcare students learn core knowledge, skills, attitudes and values and are asked to quickly apply learning to a clinical or functional setting. Their ability to move from receiving direct instruction to clinical practice is facilitated through supervised interprofessional training in simulation, experiential opportunities, and co-curricular settings that develop practitioner re
Team structure and culture are associated with lower burnout in primary care.
PURPOSE:
Burnout is a threat to the primary care workforce. We investigated the relationship between team structure, team culture, and emotional exhaustion of clinicians and staff in primary care practices.
METHODS:
Overcoming challenges to teamwork in patient-centered medical homes: a qualitative study
BACKGROUND:
There is emerging consensus that enhanced inter-professional teamwork is necessary for the effective and efficient delivery of primary care, but there is less practical information specific to primary care available to guide practices on how to better work as teams.
OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this study was to describe how primary care practices have overcome challenges to providing team-based primary care and the implications for care delivery and policy.
APPROACH:
From triple to quadruple aim: care of the patient requires care of the provider.
The Triple Aim-enhancing patient experience, improving population health, and reducing costs-is widely accepted as a compass to optimize health system performance. Yet physicians and other members of the health care workforce report widespread burnout and dissatisfaction. Burnout is associated with lower patient satisfaction, reduced health outcomes, and it may increase costs. Burnout thus imperils the Triple Aim.
Elements of team-based care in a patient-centered medical home are associated with lower burnout among VA primary care employees.
BACKGROUND:
A high proportion of the US primary care workforce reports burnout, which is associated with negative consequences for clinicians and patients. Many protective factors from burnout are characteristics of patient-centered medical home (PCMH) models, though even positive organizational transformation is often stressful. The existing literature on the effects of PCMH on burnout is limited, with most findings based on small-scale demonstration projects with data collected only among physicians, and the results are mixed.
