Moving Beyond PowerPoint
An article that discusses the use of virtual reality role-playing, high-fidelity simulation and online forums in nursing education. The creation and use of the ACE-15 tool as a measurement tool is also discussed as a means to improve the interprofessionalism at clinical rotation sites. Nexus Innovation Network Site Oregon Health and Science University is a focus.
University of Minnesota: Utilizing IPECP for Dentistry and Pharmacy

Train-the-Trainer Faculty Development Program: University of Washington, August 14-17, 2017
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.

Integrating the Electronic Health Record into high-fidelity interprofessional intensive care unit simulations
With the rapid adoption of electronic health records (EHR), there is a growing appreciation for the central role they play in clinical decision making and team communication, with many studies documenting new safety issues with integration of the EHR into the clinical enterprise. To study these issues, we created a high-fidelity simulation instance of our clinical EHR. In this paper, we describe the impact of integrating the EHR into high-fidelity, interprofessional intensive care unit (ICU) simulations, and the errors induced.
Health Information Technology/Health IT
Health information technology (or health IT) applies various electronic methods that are used to manage data about people's health and health care, for individuals, patients, and populations. Health IT may include: clinical decision support, computerized disease registries, computerized provider order entry, consumer health IT applications, electronic medical record systems, electronic prescribing, and telehealth.
The Right Team at the Right Time
Authored by Barbara Brandt
As we approach the holiday season, I reflect on the past three years with the National Center. Many friends and colleagues are aware that my family and I have been intensely navigating the full breadth of the health care delivery system since 2012. Notably, my then spry 91-year old father fell on Christmas Day 2012 as we walked through his apartment door. The 2012 hip fracture and repair were followed by another fall on Easter 2013. On July 4, 2015, he fell again and suffered a severe fracture of his humerus, which is now held together with 11 pins. Our family now avoids holidays like the plague.
