It’s graduation season! In my role as associate vice president, I attend several ceremonies each year at the University of Minnesota. I have the opportunity to meet and learn from young health professionals who work every day to transform health care through integrating practice and education. It’s exciting and reassuring to see the next generation of health care leaders walk across the stages.
Measuring changes in perception using the Student Perceptions of Physician-Pharmacist Interprofessional Clinical Education (SPICE) instrument
Background: The Student Perceptions of Physician-Pharmacist Interprofessional Clinical Education (SPICE) instrument contains 10 items, 3 factors (interprofessional teamwork and team-based practice, roles/responsibilities for collaborative practice, and patient outcomes from collaborative practice), and utilizes a five-point response scale (1 = strongly disagree, 5 = strongly agree).
Exploring the nature of interprofessional collaboration and family member involvement in an intensive care context
Little is known about the nature of interprofessional collaboration on intensive care units (ICUs), despite its recognition as a key component of patient safety and quality improvement initiatives. This comparative ethnographic study addresses this gap in knowledge and explores the different factors that influence collaborative work in the ICU. It aims to develop an empirically grounded team diagnostic tool, and associated interventions to strengthen team-based care and patient family involvement.
