Breaking Down the Silos: An Interprofessional Approach to Education
An interprofessional practice gap was identified in relation to discharge care provided to patients with tracheostomies or laryngectomies. Using a case study method, this article presents an approach that administrators of educational programs can take to develop an instructive strategy to address the practice gap and improve patient care.
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.
Method:
Developing interprofessional education: putting theory into practice
Toolkit in the Clinical Teacher
Despite its now long history, interprofessional education (IPE) is still not a routine component of health professional education. Although there are challenges when introducing IPE, as noted here, these may be overcome with careful planning and consideration of the learning outcomes for all of the students involved.
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.
Methods
Teaching Interprofessional Collaboration: Using Online Education Across Institutions
Interdisciplinary courses among students in occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech-language pathology are important for addressing teamwork, communication, and understanding of professional roles, especially in pre-service training for early intervention and school-based practice where collaboration is essential. Although interprofessional education (IPE) as a part of higher education in the health sciences has been strongly encouraged, IPE courses are difficult to schedule and implement.
