Background
The health care team challenge™: Developing an international interprofessional education research collaboration
Interprofessional education (IPE) to improve and increase interprofessional collaborative practice (IPC) has been documented for over 50 years in Canada, but it is within the last 15 years that it has gained attention in research, education and practice contexts. IPE is defined as two or more professions that learn with from and about each other to improve collaboration and the quality of care (CAIPE 2002).
Indiana University Health Interprofessional Collaborative Practice Model
The Accountable Care Unit (ACU) model encompasses unit-based clinical triads that consist of the RN, MD, and care manager, who use team-based care; relational coordination with shared goals, shared knowledge and mutual respect; unit-based leadership and management; patient centered workflow that incorporates daily clinical triad “huddles” on individual patient concerns, RN/MD collaborative rounding, and safe handoffs; and data-driven unit-based decision making.
Indiana University: The Bloomington Nexus Project
The Bloomington Nexus project creates a translational model for improving transitional care for patients who have been discharged from acute care.

A critical appraisal of instruments to measure outcomes of interprofessional education
CONTEXT:
Interprofessional education (IPE) is believed to prepare health professional graduates for successful collaborative practice. A range of instruments have been developed to measure the outcomes of IPE. An understanding of the psychometric properties of these instruments is important if they are to be used to measure the effectiveness of IPE.
