NYU3T: teaching, technology, teamwork: a model for interprofessional education scalability and sustainability
Interprofessional education is a critical precursor to effective teamwork and the collaboration of health care professionals in clinical settings. Numerous barriers have been identified that preclude scalable and sustainable interprofessional education (IPE) efforts. This article describes NYU3T: Teaching, Technology, Teamwork, a model that uses novel technologies such as Web-based learning, virtual patients, and high-fidelity simulation to overcome some of the common barriers and drive implementation of evidence-based teamwork curricula.
Interprofessional primary care in academic family medicine clinics: implications for education and training
OBJECTIVE:
To explore the status and processes of interprofessional work environments and the implications for interprofessional education in a sample of family medicine teaching clinics.
DESIGN:
Focus group interviews using a purposive sampling procedure.
SETTING:
Four academic family medicine clinics in Alberta.
PARTICIPANTS:
Interprofessional education: a review and analysis of programs from three academic health centers
The past decade witnessed momentum toward redesigning the U.S. health care system with the intent to improve quality of care. To achieve and sustain this change, health professions education must likewise reform to prepare future practitioners to optimize their ability to participate in the new paradigm of health care delivery.
How to build high-quality interprofessional collaboration and education in your hospital: the IP-COMPASS tool
Interprofessional education (IPE) is an important contributor to ensuring interprofessional collaboration and, ultimately, improving the quality of health care. However, there is a gap in available resources on critical success factors for implementing intentional interprofessional learning experiences. The Interprofessional Collaborative Organizational Map and Preparedness Assessment (IP-COMPASS) is a quality improvement framework that provides a structured process to help health care organizations become better prepared to offer IPE.

Evaluation of an interprofessional practice placement in a UK in-patient palliative care unit
This paper reports on undergraduate students' evaluation of a new hospice-based interprofessional practice placement (IPP) that took place in the voluntary sector from 2008 to 2009. Ward-based interprofessional training has been successfully demonstrated in a range of clinical environments. However, the multidisciplinary setting within a hospice in-patient unit offered a new opportunity for interprofessional learning.
Human error and patient safety: interdisciplinary course
BACKGROUND:
The medical community has only recently begun to address how human error affects patient safety. In order to confront human error in medicine, there is a need to teach students who are entering the health professions how potential errors may manifest and train them to prevent or mitigate these problems.
PURPOSE:
The objective is to describe a semester-long, interdisciplinary, human error and patient safety course taught at the University of South Florida.
METHODS:
Interprofessional education in practice
BACKGROUND:
Undergraduate interprofessional education (IPE) is perceived by many in health and social care education to reduce barriers between the professions. In Aberdeen there has been an IPE programme with Robert Gordon University and University of Aberdeen, and 10 health and social care courses since 2003. The steering groups reported to the Scottish Government in 2008. It was recommended that IPE should be extended from classroom-based learning experiences to practice-based learning experiences.
METHODS:
Piloting interprofessional education interventions with veterinary and veterinary nursing students
Interprofessional education (IPE) has received little attention in veterinary education even though members of the veterinary and nursing professions work closely together. The present study investigates veterinary and veterinary nursing students' and practitioners' experiences with interprofessional issues and the potential benefits of IPE.
Prescription for education: development, evaluation, and implementation of a successful interprofessional education program for adults with inflammatory arthritis
