Help: Choosing a Collection
Collections are general categories determined by the National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education. All contributions to the Resource Exchange must be associated with one of the pre-determined collections. If your contribution fits into more than one collection, please choose the one that is most appropriate.
To further categorize your contribution, consider the "Additional Tags" field below it.
If you have a suggestion or feedback about the collections, please email nexusipe@umn.edu.
Help: Adding Additional Tags
The Additional Tags field provides the opportunity for you to further categorize your contribution. The field can hold any number of terms or topics, each separated by a comma.
The field draws from the same list of tags that you use for the Skills and Interests section of your public profile, so as you type you will notice tags that other people have already used. Using these tags is a great way to help relate content and people.
Integral Theory and Activity Theory as a Meta Model for IPE
I have come to believe that integral theory http://integrallife.com/node/37539 and activity theory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity_theory are useful models that support analysis and understanding of inter professional health professions activity in light of the four quadrants of integral theory. What do others think about this? How might the application and intentional use of integral and activity theory advance our understanding and development of innovations in IPR education, practice and research?
On the road with the National Center

Learn about biomedical health informatics
Take a free online course to learn how the the field of biomedical health informatics (BMHI) is improving safety, outcomes, and efficiency in health care.
Introduction to Biomedical Health Informatics
This course defines and discusses the background of biomedical health informatics (BMHI), illustrates BMHI initiatives, and explores the benefits that BMHI can provide to consumers, health systems, communities, and research in order to improve safety, patient access, and quality of care outcomes.
The module can be completed in approximately 45 minutes.
Coordination versus Competition in Health Care Reform
I thought this was an interesting quote in this article, “Coordinated systems may thus deliver the right care to the right patient at the right time, but at the wrong price. Competitive markets may do a better job of keeping prices low, but with the well-documented drawbacks of fragmentation.” Page 2. Coordination versus Competition in Health Care Reform, K. Baicker and H. Levy | August 14, 2013 | DOI: 10.1056/NEJMp1306268, http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp1306268??query=TOC.
Knitting together a worldwide community

Baby Edythe
I am of a certain age. I became a grandma 15 weeks ago to baby Edythe. Here is a picture of me the first time I held her. She is wearing an outfit I knitted from the yarn I purchased in Sweden after the 2008 All Together Better Health conference. I’m wearing my Minnesota Public Radio sweatshirt. I must have been trying to send Edythe a message about how all children should behave.
