A Relational View of Hospital and Post-acute Staff Communication and Adherence to Evidence-based Transitional Care
This descriptive research used social network analysis to explore the influence of relationships and communication among hospital nursing (RN, LPN, CNA) and discharge planning staff on adherence to evidence-based practices (EBP) for reducing preventable hospital readmissions. Although previous studies have shown that nurses are a valued source of research information for each other, there have been few studies concerning the role that staff relationships and communication play in adherence to evidence-based practice.

Saint Louis University: Undergraduate Community Practicum
The Undergraduate Community Practicum engages interprofessional teams of undergraduate health professions students with agency partners in the community to support or implement projects that advance the agency's goals.
Saint Louis University: Clinical Practicum
The Clinical Practicum engages interprofessional teams of undergraduate health professions students with interprofessional teams in a clinical setting. Multiple settings within hospitals, health care organizations, and community settings are utilized to enable students to gain experience assessing how different interprofessional teams function, and the environmental and personal attributes that contribute to effective teams working together to improve patient care and outcomes.

Toolkit for the Ambulatory Team Objective Structured Clinical Examination (ATOSCE)
The ATOSCE is a simulation and assessment tool involving an interprofessional, ambulatory (outpatient) encounter. Western University of Health Sciences developed the tool to provide geriatric-focused IPE teamwork education and practice with simulated exercises. Two cases were developed and scripted for actors portraying the standardized patients, a standardized caregiver, and standardized clinicians.
Train-the-Trainer Faculty Development Program: University of Missouri, September 12-15, 2016
This three-and-a-half day curriculum was co-developed by experts from three universities with established IPE training programs and a national advisory committee. Training sites will provide content, skills, and strategies for facilitating and coaching IPE teams. The purpose of this program is to prepare health professions faculty and collaborative practice clinicians from all professions to lead IPE efforts and promote interprofessional team-based care.
How Accurately Do ICU Providers Using An Electronic Health Record Communicate Patient Data During Daily Inter-Professional Patient Care Rounds?
RATIONALE: Accurate data communication during daily patient care rounds is essential yet challenging in the data-dense intensive care unit (ICU) environment. The electronic health record (EHR) is a data management tool utilized in many ICUs yet its impact on data communication during rounds is uncertain. Our previous work showed that ICU providers preparing for rounds extract only 78% of available 24-hour lab data from the EHR and accurately communicate only 61% of this information during rounds.
