This report highlights four areas of National Center progress during Year Three. Because of the sheer volume of National Center activity, we have chosen our most important achievements – showing where we are making a significant difference in the national conversation about health care transformation.
Highlights of Year Three include:
2016 TeamSTEPPS National Conference
This conference brings techniques, tools and new thinking to assist health care professionals in successfully implementing and sustaining TeamSTEPPS.
IPEC 2016 Spring Institute
Interprofessional teams consisting of health professionals and academic and practice partners are invited to attend the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) 2016 Spring Institute.
2016 Institute for Healthcare Improvement Change Conference
The 2016 Institute for Health Improvement (IHI) Change Conference will highlight lessons from the first two years of IHI’s Leadership Alliance, IHI’s High-Impact Leadership framework and IHI’s disciplined process for innovation.
Leadership Development for Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice
Leadership Development of Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice is an edited compilation of chapters written by international medical and health professional experts. The book provides historical and current perspectives on leadership in healthcare.
Featured Chapter: Chapter 7, Interprofessional Leadership Development in the United States, authored by Alan Dow, Amy Blue, Shelley Kohn Conrad, Mark Earnest, Amy Leaphart, & Scott Reeves, includes case studies from Nexus Innovation Network sites
AIHC Webinar Series: Social Determinants and the Context of Care: Going Beyond the Obvious for Prevention and Practice
This webinar will provide participants with socioecological and trauma-informed frameworks to better understand individual, interpersonal, interprofessional, community and policy-level implications of early and enduring adversity and health inequities.
Integrating Acupuncture in an Inpatient Setting
Acupuncture, a licensed health care profession in the United States, is poorly integrated into the American health care system, despite the evidence of its effectiveness. The purpose of this study was to offer a phenomenological description of the experience of acupuncturists who delivered acupuncture care in a tertiary teaching hospital in New York City.
Measuring the Impact of Interprofessional Education on Collaborative Practice and Patient Outcomes
Over the past half century, there have been ebbs and flows of interest in linking what is now called interprofessional education (IPE) with interprofessional collaboration and team-based care. Whereas considerable research has focused on student learning, only recently have researchers begun to look beyond the classroom and beyond learning outcomes for the impact of IPE on such issues as patient safety, patient and provider satisfaction, quality of care, health promotion, population health, and the cost of care.
Duluth-Area Interprofessional Practice and Education
I hope this can be a neutral convening space for collaborators in the Duluth area.
