This presentation synthesized the major themes of the conference and provided recommendations for future work in preparation for All Together Better Health IV in New Zealand in 2018.
Development of an interprofessional and interdisciplinary collaborative research practice for clinical faculty
ABSTRACT This article describes an interprofessional collaborative research practice fellowship designed to foster the research skills of clinical faculty. The year-long fellowship was grounded in big data analysis and the triangle of informatics—knowledge, information, and data. Fellows were selected to include diverse perspectives, training, and knowledge but had limited experience in team science or being a member of an interprofessional research team. The underlying philosophy of the fellowship was experiential learning.
Measuring the impact of interprofessional education on collaborative practice and patient outcomes
Interest in interprofessional education (IPE) and collaborative practice continue to grow (Frenk et al., 2010; Cox & Naylor, 2013) but whether IPE improves clinical outcomes is uncertain. A recent report from the Institute of Medicine (IOM)1 is another step toward building a solid evidence base linking IPE to patient, population, and health system outcomes (IOM, 2015). The report lays out general guidelines for designing, analysing, and reporting studies of IPE across the health professional learning continuum.
Team science as interprofessional collaborative research practice: a systematic review of the science of team science literature
The National Institute of Health's concept of team science is a means of addressing complex clinical problems by applying conceptual and methodological approaches from multiple disciplines and health professions. The ultimate goal is the improved quality of care of patients with an emphasis on better population health outcomes.
What and how do students learn in an interprofessional student-run clinic? An educational framework for teambased care
A ersearch paper describing a framework for interprofessional learning based on interprofessional students in a student-run clinic.
A Model for Interinstitutional IPE Collaboration, The Texas IPE Task Force
An IPE Task Force has been created in Texas to facilitate interinstitutional collaboration around interprofessional education. The task force is bringing together representatives from the state’s academic health professions institutions to foster collaboration around interprofessional education. Institutional and academic health professions silos are giving way to collaboration around IPE. The history, development, purpose and outcomes of the IPE Task Force will be described.
