SF-36 Health Survey
The SF-36 is a multi-purpose, short-form health survey with only 36 questions. It yields an 8-scale profile of functional health and well-being scores as well as psychometrically-based physical and mental health summary measures and a preference-based health utility index. It is a generic measure, as opposed to one that targets a specific age, disease, or treatment group.
HEDIS- Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set
HEDIS is a tool used by more than 90 percent of America's health plans to measure performance on important dimensions of care and service. Because so many plans collect HEDIS data, and because the measures are so specifically defined, HEDIS makes it possible to compare the performance of health plans. Health plans also use HEDIS results themselves to see where they need to focus their improvement efforts.
Open Session for Measuring the Impact of Interprofessional Education (IPE) on Collaborative Practice and Patient Outcomes: A Consensus Study- Session 1: Views of the Sponsors
On October 7, 2014, an IOM committee examined the methods needed to measure the impact of interprofessional education (IPE) on collaborative practice, patient outcomes or both, as determined by the available evidence.

Open Session for Measuring the Impact of Interprofessional Education (IPE) on Collaborative Practice and Patient Outcomes: A Consensus Study
An IOM committee examined the methods needed to measure the impact of interprofessional education (IPE) on collaborative practice, patient outcomes or both, as determined by the available evidence. Considerable research on IPE has focused on assessing student learning, but only recently have researchers begun looking beyond the classroom for impacts of IPE on such issues as patient safety, provider and patient satisfaction, quality of care, community health outcomes, and cost savings.
Effective Interprofessional Education: Argument, Assumption and Evidence (Promoting Partnership for Health)
This volume presents a systematic review of interprofessional education in health and social care. This is accompanied by a wider-ranging critique of interprofessional education, grounded by experience, and informed by sources beyond the evaluations that qualified for inclusion in the review. Synthesising the evidence base for interprofessional education nevertheless remains central, with 353 studies surveyed in the first instance, from which 107 studies form the basis for the final analysis.
Pathways Into Health National Conference
This national conference explores opportunities to unite, enhance and sustain new and existing pathways into health professions for American Indian (AI) and Alaska Native (AN) individuals and communities. This will be a venue for exploring educational methodologies that engage the AI/AN populations in health professions and for making findings, programs and resources useable by non-scientists. Registration is now open. Please visit the conference website for additional information.
Call for Abstracts: Pathways Into Health National Conference
This national conference is now accepting abstract proposals related to the successful implementation of programs, initiatives and policies that engage American Indian and/or Alaska Native individuals and communities in health professions.
