Abstract
Abstract: Interprofessional education (IPE) can prepare health sciences students to communicate effectively within interdisciplinary teams to deliver safe and effective health care with fewer medical errors. The IPE Collaborative Core Competencies were used to develop and evaluate a course-based, faculty-planned, IPE activity for health professions students. Nurse practitioner and physician associate students were paired with Doctor of Pharmacy students to simulate a professional interaction between prescriber and pharmacist; student pairs used current evidence and the verbal situation, background, assessment, and recommendation method of communication to resolve a case-based prescription safety issue. Students completed a postactivity survey designed to evaluate perceptions of the activity in three domains: interactions with partners, interprofessional and clinical learning experiences, and activity organization/delivery. Results indicated that 98.8% felt that their partners understood the medication safety problem and worked collaboratively to find a solution, 91.5% agreed that clinical decision-making responsibilities were shared, and 91.5% agreed that the activity was relevant to patient safety. Most respondents rated the case studies very effective (78.8%) in developing clinical decision-making skills and found the overall activity very effective (76.4%) in helping them understand the clinical roles and responsibilities of their partners. This IPE activity is a high-fidelity, low-tech, cost-effective way for students to develop clinical decision-making skills, work collaboratively to resolve patient safety issues, and learn about one another's role on the health care team. The aim of this article is to share the activity and results with other nursing or health sciences faculty who may desire to replicate it and achieve the objectives at their own university/college.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (JAANP) is a monthly peer-reviewed professional journal that serves as the official publication of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners.
Published since 1989, the JAANP provides a strong clinical focus with articles related to primary, secondary, and tertiary care, nurse practitioner education, health policy, ethics and ethical issues, and health care delivery. The journal publishes original research, integrative/comprehensive reviews, case studies, a variety of topics in clinical practice, and theory-based articles related to patient and professional education. Although the majority of nurse practitioners function in primary care, there is an increasing focus on the provision of care across all types of systems from acute to long-term care settings.
