Adapting the McMaster-Ottawa scale and developing behavioral anchors for assessing performance in an interprofessional Team Observed Structured Clinical Encounter
This article provides research with standardized patients, supporting modification of the 9-point McMaster-Ottawa Scale to a 3-point scale with behavioral anchors that permits ease of use for rating individuals performing in teams and the team. The authors use G-theory to assess the accuracy of faculty rating health professions students trained to perform at 3 different skill levels.
Nurse practitioner interactions in acute and long-term care: an exploration of the role of knotworking in supporting interprofessional collaboration
Interprofessional care ensures high quality healthcare. Effective interprofessional collaboration is required to enable interprofessional care, although within the acute care hospital setting interprofessional collaboration is considered suboptimal. The integration of nurse practitioner roles into the acute and long-term care settings is influencing enhanced care. What remains unknown is how the nurse practitioner role enacts interprofessional collaboration or enables interprofessional care to promote high quality care.
ICAR: Reliability of the interprofessional collaborator assessment rubric in multi source feedback (MSF) with post-graduate medical residents
BACKGROUND:
Increased attention on collaboration and teamwork competency development in medical education has raised the need for valid and reliable approaches to the assessment of collaboration competencies in post-graduate medical education. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability of a modified Interprofessional Collaborator Assessment Rubric (ICAR) in a multi-source feedback (MSF) process for assessing post-graduate medical residents' collaborator competencies.
METHODS:
20 Years Beyond the Crossroads: The Path to Interprofessional Education at U.S. Dental Schools
In 2003, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) called for interprofessional education (IPE) to be adopted by the health professions education community as the pedagogical approach to educating future practitioners for practice in multidisciplinary teams. In dentistry, this call built on points made in the key 1995 IOM report Dental Education at the Crossroads. Currently, IPE and collaborative practice are among the most significant changes to health care education and delivery in the 21st century.
