Canadian governments and various stakeholder groups are advocating greater interprofessional collaboration amongst health care providers as a fundamental strategy for enhancing coordination and quality of care in the health care system. Interprofessional education for collaborative patient-centred practice (IECPCP) is an educational process by which students/learners (or workers) from different health professions learn together to improve collaboration. The educational system is believed to be a main determinant of interprofessional collaborative practice, yet academic institutions are largely influenced by accreditation, certification and licensure bodies. Accreditation processes have been linked to the continuous improvement of curricula in the health professions, and have also been identified as potential avenues for encouraging educational change and innovation. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the characteristics of the national accreditation systems of select Canadian health professional education programs at both the pre- and post-licensure educational levels and to show how these systems support and/or foster IECPCP. A review of the educational accreditation systems of medicine, nursing, pharmacy, social work, occupational therapy and physiotherapy was undertaken through key informant interviews and an analysis of accreditation process documentation. The results of this comparative review suggest that accreditation systems are more prevalent across the health professions at a pre-licensure level. Accreditation at the post- licensure level, particularly at the continuing professional education level, appears to be less well established across the majority of health professions. Overall, the findings of the review also suggest that current accreditation systems do not appear to promote nor foster interprofessional education for collaborative patient-centred practice in a systematic manner through either accreditation processes or standards. Through a critical adult learning perspective we argue that in order for traditional uni-professional structures within the health professional education system to be challenged, the accreditation system needs to place greater value on interprofessional education for collaborative patient-centred practice.

Good Attitude

Background: Geriatric has multi-problems which need inter-disciplinary supports including collaboration among health professionals.  To realize the importance of collaboration among health workers is to encourage collaboration since educational process. Teachers play an important role in conducting an Interprofessional Education (IPE). Purposes: To describe the attitudes and readiness of medical teachers of Universitas Muhammadiyah Jakarta (UMJ) towards IPE in 2019. Methods: The subjects of the study were medical teachers of UMJ with a sample size of 34 respondents. It was conducted at UMJ on November-December 2019. The instrument used for measuring the variable of attitude is the Attitudes toward Health Care Teams Scale (ATHCTS), whilst Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) questionnaire was for the readiness. Results: It was found respondents who had attitudes in the good and fairly good categories were 62% and 38% respectively. Based on their state of readiness, 85% of the respondents were adequate, 15% moderate, and none not ready. Conclusion: Most of the respondents had a good attitude and ready for IPE. It was found that the aspects of the role in the team are mostly fairly good compared to aspects of values in the team and efficiency in the team which are mostly in the good category. The readiness showed adequate state in 2 aspects which are teamwork and collaboration and professional identity, whilst the aspect of role and responsibility was moderate. Consequently, improvement should be directed for the attitude to play a role in the team and the readiness in role and responsibility aspects.

Background: Application of IPE in academics prioritizes collaborative competencies to make students able to understand how to work interprofessionally, so as to foster readiness. Lecturer attitudes are considered as an important component in implementing successful IPE in academic environment. Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine and analyse lecturers attitudes towards interprofessional education. Method: This was descriptive comparative study with cross sectional design. Sampel were 31 lecturers from departments of nursing, midwifery, and medical record taken by purposive sampling. Modified questioner of Attitudes Toward Interprofessional Health Care Teams (ATHCT), Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS), and Attitudes Towards Interprofessional Learning in Academic Setting (ATILAS) were applied to examine lecturers attitudes. Result: The results indicate lecturer's positive attitude toward IPE, with an average score of statement item M = 3.96 on the attitude aspect to the interprofessional health care teams; M = 4.11 on attitude aspect to interprofessional education; as well as on attitudes towards interprofessional learning in academic setting with M = 3,93. Discipline, gender, and teaching experience have no significant relationship with overall attitudinal responses towards IPE. Conclusions: These findings can be used as a consideration of the intitution in applying Interprofessional Education at the academic settings.   Keywords: Attitudes, Interprofessional Education, Lecturers

Background: This study explored the positive and negative factors that influence interprofessional education (IPE) implementation in health care education programs across the United States. Methods: The study sample consisted of 439 (response rate 8.4%) health care faculties from seven health care professions (nursing, medicine, pharmacy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, physician assistant, and social work) who were asked what the positive and negative factors are that influence their decisions to engage in IPE. Results: Three positive categories and two negative categories concerning factors that influence health care faculty (HCF) intent to engage in IPE emerged. The three major categories of positive factors emerged as patient care, which was mentioned by 196 subjects or 54% of the sample, student learning, which was mentioned by 157 subjects or 43% of the sample, and health care teams, which was mentioned by 88 subjects or 24% of the sample. The two major categories of negative factors emerged as scheduling and coordination, which was mentioned by 230 subjects or 63% of the sample, and discipline culture which was mentioned by 103 subjects or 28% of the sample. Conclusion: This study contributes to the body of knowledge concerning the factors that influence effective IPE implementation. Discussion is provided regarding the positive and negative categories that emerged and how they influence effective IPE delivery.

Background: Although interprofessional education (IPE) is not new, there has been limited research in IPE focused on the care of older adults. The objective of this study was to develop and implement an interprofessional education and care (IPE/C) toolkit, to help staff and students understand and apply the concepts of IPE/C.Methods and Findings: Focus groups identified staff and students’ understanding of IPE/C and informed development of an IPE/C toolkit comprised of IPE/C tools and resources. Five clinical teams (N = 51) attended workshops that introduced the toolkit and educated teams about IPE/C. Focus group participants had heard of but had limited exposure to IPE/C. Responses to the Attitudes Toward Health Care Teams (ATHT) questionnaire indicated a positive trend on all questions; 2 questions in subscale 1 were statistically significant (p = .01 & p = .005), indicating a positive attitude toward teams and teamwork. Several limitations were identified, including inconsistent attendance at workshops, scheduling challenges, and limited physician participation.Conclusions: This pilot project provided baseline data on staff and students’ understanding of and attitudes toward IPE/C in a multilevel geriatric centre and demonstrated that an IPE/C toolkit delivered via team workshops can enhance healthcare team attitudes. Next steps include expanding the rollout to other teams and introducing the toolkit to all staff and students.
