palliative care a suitable setting for undergraduate Interprofessional Education
Palliative Medicine, 2001Co-Authors: B Wee, Richard Hillier, Colin Coles, B Mountford, F Sheldon, P TurnerAbstract:Effective delivery of high-quality palliative care requires effective Interprofessional teamworking by skilled health and social care professionals. Palliative care is therefore highly suitable for sowing the seeds of Interprofessional teamworking in early professional Education. This paper describes experiences of running undergraduate Interprofessional workshops in palliative care for medical, nursing, social work, physiotherapy and occupational therapy students. These workshops are unusual in three respects: first, the involvement of family carers mean that these learning experiences are rooted in clinical reality; secondly, there is no attempt to 'tidy up' the story for the students; thirdly, unlike many undergraduate Interprofessional programmes, these workshops have been sustained over several years. Evaluation of these workshops demonstrate that students value and enjoy the opportunity to work together; they find the experience moving, informative and interesting. Feedback from carers showed that they appreciated the opportunity to present their real-life experiences to students. Our evidence suggests that palliative care is a suitable subject for undergraduate Interprofessional Education.

a design thinking approach to evaluating Interprofessional Education
Journal of Interprofessional Care, 2016Co-Authors: Peter S Cahn, Scott Reeves, Andrew S Bzowyckyj, Lauren Collins, Kristen H Goodell, Alex F Johnson, David J Klocko, Mary Knab, Kathryn Parker, Brenda K ZierlerAbstract:The complex challenge of evaluating the impact of Interprofessional Education (IPE) on patient and community health outcomes is well documented. Recently, at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study in the United States, leaders in health professions Education met to help generate a direction for future IPE evaluation research. Participants followed the stages of design thinking, a process for human-centred problem solving, to reach consensus on recommendations. The group concluded that future studies should focus on measuring an intermediate step between learning activities and patient outcomes. Specifically, knowing how IPE-prepared students and preceptors influence the organisational culture of a clinical site as well as how the culture of clinical sites influences learners' attitudes about collaborative practice will demonstrate the value of Educational interventions. With a mixed methods approach and an appreciation for context, researchers will be able to identify the factors that foster effective collaborative practice and, by extension, promote patient-centred care.

Interprofessional Education and practice guide no 3 evaluating Interprofessional Education
Journal of Interprofessional Care, 2015Co-Authors: Scott Reeves, Brenda K Zierler, Sylvain Boet, Simon KittoAbstract:Abstract We have witnessed an ongoing increase in the publication of evaluation work aimed at measuring the processes and outcomes related to a range of Interprofessional Education (IPE) activities and initiatives. Systematic reviews of IPE have, however, suggested that while the quality of evaluation studies is improving, there continues to be a number of empirical weaknesses with this work. In an effort to enhance the quality of IPE evaluation studies, this guide provides a series of ideas and suggestions about how to undertake a robust evaluation of an IPE event. The guide presents a series of key lessons for colleagues to help them undertake a good quality IPE evaluation, covering a range of methodological, practical and ethical issues. These include: the formation of evaluation questions, use of evaluation models and theoretical perspectives, advice about the selection of qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods evaluation designs, managing evaluation resources, and ideas about disseminating evaluation results to the broader IPE community. It is anticipated that this guide will assist IPE colleagues in undertaking high-quality evaluation in order to provide valuable evidence for different stakeholders, and also help inform the scholarly knowledge for the Interprofessional field.

Interprofessional Education and practice guide no 4 developing and sustaining Interprofessional Education at an academic health center
Journal of Interprofessional Care, 2015Co-Authors: Mayumi A Willgerodt, Erin Aburish Blakeney, Debra Liner, Douglas M Brock, Nanci L Murphy, Brenda K ZierlerAbstract:AbstractIncreasingly health professions schools and academic health centers are required to include Interprofessional Education (IPE) as a standard part of their core curricula to maintain accreditation. However, challenges continue to surface as faculty struggle to develop and participate in IPE activities while balancing increasing workloads and limited resources, and also trying to keep current in the changing profession-specific accreditation and standards. This guide shares lessons learned from developing and sustaining IPE activities at the University of Washington (UW) based in the United States. In 2008, the UW Schools of Nursing and Medicine were awarded funds to develop, implement, and evaluate an Interprofessional program focused on team communication. This funding supported the creation of two annual large-scale IPE events, provided infrastructure support for the Center for Health Sciences Interprofessional Education, Research and Practice (CHSIERP), and supported numerous Interprofessional ac...

Our experiences over the years have yielded several key lessons that are important to consider in any IPE effort. In this guide we report on these lessons learned and provide pragmatic suggestions for designing and implementing IPE in order to maximize long-term success.

advancing hospice and palliative care social work leadership in Interprofessional Education and practice
Journal of Social Work in End-of-life & Palliative Care, 2016Co-Authors: Susan Blacker, Barbara Head, Barbara L Jones, Stacy Remke, Katherine P SupianoAbstract:ABSTRACTThe importance of Interprofessional collaboration in achieving high quality outcomes, improving patient quality of life, and decreasing costs has been growing significantly in health care. Palliative care has been viewed as an exemplary model of Interprofessional care delivery, yet best practices in both Interprofessional Education (IPE) and Interprofessional practice (IPP) in the field are still developing. So, too, is the leadership of hospice and palliative care social workers within IPE and IPP. Generating evidence regarding best practices that can prepare social work professionals for collaborative practice is essential. Lessons learned from practice experiences of social workers working in hospice and palliative care can inform Educational efforts of all professionals. The emergence of Interprofessional Education and competencies is a development that is relevant to social work practice in this field. Opportunities for hospice and palliative social workers to demonstrate leadership in IPE an...

enhancing Interprofessional Education integrating public health and social work perspectives
American Journal of Public Health, 2015Co-Authors: Cheryl L Addy, Teri Browne, Elizabeth W Blake, Jennifer BaileyAbstract:National stakeholders in health system improvement and patient safety including accreditation bodies have requested health professional Educational programs to include multiple Interprofessional experiences through didactic and experiential opportunities. Clinical and population health faculty at the University of South Carolina redesigned and expanded an introductory Interprofessional course to include more than 500 students from public health, social work, medicine, pharmacy, and nursing. Students participated in 3 live class meetings and completed required online coursework to explore concepts related to social determinants of health and health disparities, health system improvement, patient safety, cultural competency, and ethics to address Interprofessional Education core competencies. Course modifications and expanded student enrollment improved understanding of key health concepts and appreciation of Interprofessional collaboration.
