Interprofessional Communication: Communication in Healthcare Settings
This interactive eLearning module provides examples of effective and ineffective communication and their impact on patient outcomes. A number of helpful tools for team communication are illustrated as well as strategies for communicating during difficult clinical situations.
The development of this module was supported (in part) by the Scottsdale Healthcare Hospitals (SHC) as part of the Graduate Nurse Education Development Project and by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation as part of the Interprofessional Primary Care Project (The Macy Project).

The patient's voice in IPE
I was a conference committee member for and attended the conference: 'Where the patient voice in health professions education' (WTPV) in Vancouver last week. There were 260 delegates including community members, patients, service users, carers as well as academics, health professionals and educators. Note that patient here is an umbrella term for people in the health and social care system as recipients. Many of the presentations and discussions had an interprofessional focus. I think that patient involvement as educators and IPE have a lot of synergies and
Factors of Good Collaboration in Home-Based End-of-Life Care: A Questionnaire Survey of Japanese Home Care Nurses, Home Helpers, and Care Managers
Good interprofessional work (IPW) is essential to provide quality home-based end-of-life (EOL) care. The purpose of this study was to explore the factors of "good collaboration," as evaluated separately by home care nurses (HNs), home helpers (HHs), and care managers (CMs). The relationship was examined between their evaluation of good collaboration and their recent actual experience of interprofessional collaborative work for a home-based EOL case.
Preparing pharmacists to deliver a targeted service in hypertension management: evaluation of an interprofessional training program
Background
Non-adherence to medicines by patients and suboptimal prescribing by clinicians underpin poor blood pressure (BP) control in hypertension. In this study, a training program was designed to enable community pharmacists to deliver a service in hypertension management targeting therapeutic adjustments and medication adherence. A comprehensive evaluation of the training program was undertaken.
Methods
Application and Student Perceptions of the PEEER© Model for Effective Healthcare Team Communications
Few interprofessional education (IPE) models include patients and caregivers. To address this, we developed a novel model for teaching IP communication which included patients and caregivers as team members. We describe the model and our use of it in several health professions education curricula. We report preliminary data from learners regarding their experiences learning and utilizing the model as part of their IPE. Overall the model was positively viewed by students, although the perceived value of learning activities involving the model varied by discipline.
Designing Simulations for Athletic Training Students Through Interprofessional Teaching Collaboration
Context: While multidisciplinary team approaches to education and practice have been promoted for decades, literature on collaborative efforts in athletic training and nursing remains sparse.
Objective: The goal of this article is to provide an example of an interprofessional teaching collaboration in which a simulation scenario was developed between athletic training and nursing education faculty members and to outline the observed benefits and barriers arising from this approach.
