We conducted a systematic review to identify variations in the characteristics and use of self-report instruments measuring IPC.

Rather than measuring competency as \"behaviours\", they measured indirect proxies for competence, such as attitudes towards core interprofessional competencies.

The goal of this program was to identify medical resident perceptions about bedside IDR and to engage resident physicians in the design, implementation, and assessment of bedside IDR in an academic setting. This is a pre-post mixed methods survey assessing resident physicians' perceptions surrounding a stakeholder-informed bedside IDR quality improvement project. Resident physicians in the University of Colorado Internal Medicine Residency Program (<i>n</i> = 77 pre-implementation survey responses from 179 eligible participants - response rate 43%) were recruited via e-mail to participate in surveys assessing perceptions surrounding the inclusion of interprofessional team members, timing, and preferred structure of bedside IDR. A bedside IDR structure was created based on input from resident and attending physicians, patients, nurses, care coordinators, pharmacists, social workers, and rehabilitation specialists. This rounding structure was implemented on acute care wards in June 2019 at a large academic regional VA hospital in Aurora, CO. Resident physicians were surveyed post implementation (<i>n</i> = 58 post-implementation responses from 141 eligible participants - response rate 41%) about interprofessional input, timing, and satisfaction with bedside IDR. The pre-implementation survey revealed several important resident needs during bedside IDR. Post-implementation survey results revealed high overall satisfaction with bedside IDR among residents, improved perceived efficiency of rounds, preserved quality of education, and value added by interprofessional input. Results also suggested areas for future improvement including timeliness of rounds and enhanced systems-based teaching.

This study seeks to explore the integration of CHWs within a large state university health system to identify factors critical to the effective integration of CHWs into the clinical care environment. We conducted a qualitative descriptive multiple embedded case study of the University of Illinois at Chicago's Hospital and Health Science System (UI Health). The embedded subunits of analysis were teams within the UI Health System that currently employ CHWs to assist with the provision of clinical care or services to patients. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews and document review. In total, six sub-units were enrolled, and 17 interviews were conducted with CHWs (<i>n</i> = 9), and administrators or healthcare providers (<i>n</i> = 8). Fourteen factors related to effective CHW integration were identified and organized in four categories: individual, team, organization, and community. Findings suggest that in addition to commonly recognized elements of effective CHW models including training, supervision, and the presence of a champion, programs must consider the organizational context in which the program is positioned as well as the ways in which both CHWs and the organization engage with communities served.

The study used an ethnographic approach to observe five teams in an English hospital. Data were analyzed using a combined inductive-deductive approach based on the Temporal Observational Analysis of Teamwork framework. A typology was developed, consisting of five team types: structural, hybrid, satellite, responsive, and coordinating. Teams were challenged to varying degrees with staffing, membership instability, equipment shortages, and other elements of the healthcare environment. Teams varied in their ability to respond to these challenges depending on their characteristics, such as their teamworking style, location, and membership. The typology developed in this study can help healthcare organizations to better understand and design effective teams for different healthcare contexts. It can also guide future research on healthcare teams and provide a framework for comparing teams across settings. To improve teamwork, healthcare organizations should consider the unique needs of different team types and design effective training programs accordingly.","PeriodicalId":50174,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interprofessional Care","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140652153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
