Session Outline

By the end of this presentation, you will be able to:

• Describe the drivers for interprofessional education & collaborative practice (IPE&P)

• Define key terms related to IPE&P

• Outline the systems approach being used in Manitoba to implement IPE&P

• Articulate the key goals and actions for WRHA and UofM with respect to IPE&P


Health and Wellness of Individuals

• 55% of Canadians suffer 1 or

more chronic conditions• 89% of deaths each year

due to chronic disease• Chronic disease costs over $100 billion in Canada • Prevention and management of chronic disease in

individuals has become health care priorityhttp://www.ocdpa.on.ca/docs/OCDPA_EconomicCosts.pdf accessed May 27, 2010http://www.queensu.ca/sps/publications/press/intros_tocs/EmergingApproaches_Intro.pdf accessed May 27, 2010


Health and Well-being

“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”

(World Health Organization, 1948)


The problem

• Dependent on expensive new technologies

• Hospital is central• Provider-centred: patients

come to us


The problem

• emergency room overcrowding• difficult access to the necessary

care• poor record on patient safety• long wait times• inconsistent quality• high costs with poor outcomes


The problem• Health professions have evolved

in parallel with very different traditions for education and clinical service

• Professionals have poor understanding of expertise and scope of practice of colleagues

• Reimbursement systems have fostered competition over collaboration between disciplines


The problem

estimated worldwide shortage of almost 4.3 million health workers

aging workforcepoor working conditionsjob dissatisfaction

IPE&P


Where’s the evidence for IPE&P?

• Increased access to health care• Improved outcomes for people with chronic

diseases• Less tension and conflict among caregivers• Better use of clinical resources• Easier recruitment of caregivers• Lower rates of staff turnover

Cochrane Review (2008)4 of 6 studies found that IPE resulted in: • improved working culture in ED and patient satisfaction; • decreased errors in ED • improved management of the care delivered to domestic

violence victims• improved knowledge and skills of professionals providing

care to mental health patients

2 of these 4 studies found mixed results

2 of 6 studies found that IPE had little to no effect

WHO statement“After almost 50 years of enquiry, the World Health

Organization and its partners acknowledge that there is sufficient evidence to indicate that effective interprofessional education enables effective collaborative practice.”

“Collaborative practice strengthens health systems and improves health outcomes.”

WHO Statement

“Once students understand how to work interprofessionally, they are ready to enter the workplace as a member of the collaborative practice team. This is a key step in moving health systems from fragmentation to a position of strength.”

Sydney Interprofessional Declaration • All users of health and human services shall be entitled to fully integrated,

interprofessional collaborative health and human services. • All health and human services work to create and strengthen a culture that promotes

the delivery of contextual opportunities for interprofessional learning and collaborative team training. Interprofessional education and training for collaborative practice should be a core element of continuing professional development.

• Health worker education and training prior to practice shall contain significant core elements/learning domains of interprofessional education. These core elements/learning domains shall contain practical experiences, for example simulation. These core elements/learning domains for interprofessional education will be formally assessed.

• Between ATBH5 and ATBH6 the global interprofessional community will undertake to develop a globally agreed upon set of definitions and descriptions that capture interprofessional education, learning, practice and care.

• The global interprofessional community will work with the World Health Organization to implement the Framework for Action on Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice.

Health CanadaBuilding on Values: The Future of Health Care in Canada

“…the direction of our health care system must be shaped around health needs of individual patients, their families and communities.” - CPCP -

“If health care providers are expected to work together and share expertise in a team environment, it makes sense that their education and training should prepare them for this type of working arrangement.” - IPE –

Health Canada – HHR StrategyHealth Human Resource Planning—ensuring we have enough of the

right types of health-care providers to meet the needs of Canadians; Recruitment and Retention—encouraging more people to enter the

health-care field and improving working conditions to keep them there; and

Interprofessional Education for Collaborative Patient-Centred Practice [IE(CP)2 ]—changing the way we educate health providers so Canadians will have better and faster access to the health-care provider they need when they need it, ultimately boosting the satisfaction of both patients and health-care providers.

WRHA Collaborative Care

http://www.wrha.mb.ca/professionals/collaborativecare/


What is Interprofessional Education?

“…..occurs when two or more professions learn about, from and with each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes…”

* Professional is an all-encompassing term that includes individuals with the knowledge and/or skills to contribute to the physical, mental and social well-being of a community.

What does IPE look like?

• An educational approach

• Requires interaction

• Something must be exchanged that changes how they perceive themselves and others

• Changes must positively affect clinical practice

http://www.afmc.ca/aiphe-afiss/documents/AIPHE_Principles_and_Implementation_Guide_EN.pdf


What does IPE not look like?

It is not:a collective of learners from

different professions sitting in the same room listening to the same lecture

- or - learners from one profession

sharing knowledge with one or more other professions in a one way exchange

http://www.afmc.ca/aiphe-afiss/documents/AIPHE_Principles_and_Implementation_Guide_

EN.pdf


Terminology‘Uni’ professional: occasions when professionals or students from one profession learn together‘Multi’ professional : occasions when two or more professions learn side by side but in parallel (minimal interaction)‘Inter’ professional: occasions when two or more professionals learn about, with, and from each other to improve collaboration and the quality of care‘Trans’ professional: occasions in real practice where professional boundaries have been crossed or merged

Carpenter J, Dickinson H Interprofessional Education and Training. Policy Press. Great Britain. 2008. p.3


What does collaboration look like?


The 3 C’s

Communication: the imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information

Cooperation: parallel activities among individuals or organizations that associate informally to accomplish their common goals

Denise L, Collaboration vs C-Three. Innovating 1999(Spring): 7(3)


Collaboration“...is the process of shared

creation: two or more individuals with complementary skills interacting to create a shared understanding that none had previously possessed or could have come to on their own. Collaboration creates a shared meaning about a process, a product, or an event. In this sense, there is nothing routine about it. Something is there that wasn’t there before.”

Michael Schrage, Shared Minds, NY: Random House, 1990, p. 140

UofM IPE Curriculum Blueprint

Guide and monitor implementation of IPE • a ‘balance’ of competencies are addressed

through a student’s university education• learning occurs along a continuum • by graduation, learning around all competencies

has been accomplishedTo ensure IPE:• strategic, transparent, uses common terminology • explicitly states/addresses ≥ 1 learning objective• is assessed (students) and evaluated (session)


The University of Manitoba IPE Curriculum Blueprint


Understanding Roles and Responsibilities Exposure:

Knowledge• Articulate your professional role in the care of

individuals• Articulate the roles and scopes of practice of

other members of the IP team and identify areas of responsibility overlap

Attitudes:• Reflect on personal values/beliefs regarding

scopes of practice and role overlap


Understanding Roles and Responsibilities

Immersion:

Skills/Behaviours:• During an IP shared care planning session

negotiate responsibilities/actions based on role constraints, overlap, and discipline-specific legal/ethical practice standards.


Understanding Roles and Responsibilities

Mastery:

Has sufficient confidence in and knowledge of:• one’s own discipline to work effectively with

others in order to optimize person centred care• others’ professions to work effectively with

others in order to optimize outcomes for individuals


Curriculum Overload
