It is important to fill the gaps in collaborative practice due to the lack of the healthcare professionals' ability to work in collaboration with other disciplines. However, the current team training does not routinely address this important issue. This study aimed to identify how interactive interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) learning materials in a virtual course and community implementation called can be used in primary healthcare settings to address IPCP competencies of healthcare providers. This research was a quasi-experimental study with an untreated control group design using a dependent pretest and posttest sample. A purposive sample of 50 primary healthcare providers consisting of general physicians, dentists, nurses, dietitians, and pharmacists were nonrandomly divided into the control and intervention groups. This study showed that IPCP competencies measured by the Interprofessional Collaborator Assessment Rubric (ICAR) in the intervention group were significantly higher after the training and implementation than before. The Mann-Whitney tests indicated that IPCP competencies were better in the intervention group than the control group. Based on effect size analysis, the intervention had a very strong impact and could significantly improve the participants' competencies, especially in the collaborative patient/client-family centered approach domain. The can be implemented and provide positive impacts in primary healthcare settings to improve and foster competencies of IPCP in primary healthcare.

Background: Protocols instituted for behavioral treatment and skills training programs for the management of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) suffer from lack of collaborative approaches. The tenets of interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) focus on preparing a panel of health care professionals (HCPs) from different professions who can work together to enable the common goal of ensuring that children with ASD can participate in society. This study was designed to pilot this approach through an IPCP training module on ASD for care providers from multiple professions.

Article Synopsis
  • The Lancet Global Independent Commission wants health education to focus on teamwork, critical thinking, and ethics to help students work better together in healthcare.
  • They think that interprofessional education (IPE) could be a good way to teach this, but current efforts aren't showing clear positive results.
  • To make IPE better, they suggest using a new framework that addresses the complicated nature of learning and teaching, and that teachers need to develop skills in guiding discussions and activities for students.

Interprofessional education (IPE) is vital for preparing a competent health workforce. Despite the proven benefits of interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP), barriers to its implementation persist. Given the importance of health professionals' perspectives for IPCP success, we investigated the perceptions of IPCP among final-year health science students at Khon Kaen University, Thailand, while they transition into practice.

This report describes an innovative interprofessional education collaborative practice (IPCP) experience for rehabilitation professions students using a unique on-campus camp model through a community-academic partnership. Throughout the three-day camp, known as the Bright Ideas TBI Camp, interprofessional student groups deliver tailored health and wellness services to individuals with disabilities due to traumatic brain injury and their caregivers. Initial program evaluation suggests that this camp model offers an effective IPCP experience for students while addressing community health needs.

Effective interprofessional collaboration practice (IPCP) promotes healthcare outcomes but is often hindered by poor communication. Traditional teaching methods with limited interdisciplinary interactions may not effectively foster IPCP behaviors. This study evaluated the effectiveness of nurse-led World Cafe (NWC) approach in promoting IPCP behaviors and learning engagement.
