Collaboration and interprofessional practice between allied health professionals based in rural and remote regions of the Northern Territory are essential for Aboriginal patient health outcomes and reduced hospital admission rates. Training content that is relevant and promotes interprofessional practice allows for the cost effective and time efficient professional development of numerous employees in a single training course. An “escape room” format workshop was trialed for the Katherine region and the community allied health workforce. The escape room was a unique way to improve interprofessional collaboration for an isolated workforce and improve professionals‟ knowledge on the organisation‟s principles of patient centered care. There was an overwhelmingly positive response from participants who enjoyed the novelty of this professional development activity. Immediate post escape room activity evaluations indicated statistically significant improvement in participants‟ knowledge of principles of patient centered care. A three-month post evaluation indicated retention of the knowledge and reported increased considerations of the principles in daily.

In this chapter, the authors summarize the main strategies and approaches the attendings used to create safe, productive learning environments. First, they created supportive team environments by developing personal relationships, keeping their interactions positive, and tailoring their teaching to the level of the learner and being a learner themselves. Second, attendings created team-based learning by focusing on their team’s thought processes, sharing their own thought processes, and expanding the team to include allied health professionals. And third, they delivered not only patient-centered care but also patient-centered teaching by knowing their patients, developing rapport with them, and planning for their patients’ future outside the hospital.

Abstract Background: The successful combination of interprofessional collaboration in multidisciplinary teams with patient-centered care is necessary when it comes to delivering complex mental health services. Yet collaboration is challenging and patient-centered care is intricate to manage. This study examines correlates of patient-centered care such as team adaptivity and proactivity, collaboration, belief in interprofessional collaboration and informational role self-efficacy in multidisciplinary mental health teams.Method: A cross-sectional multilevel survey design was used, based on self-administered bilingual validated questionnaires. Participants (N=314) were mental health professionals and managers working in public primary care or specialized mental health services, in inpatient or outpatient settings. Results: This study showed that belief in interprofessional collaboration’s relationship with patient-centered perceptions is increased in teams with high collaboration. Collaboration is also found as a mediator, representing a process by which team adaptive and proactive behaviors are transformed into positive patient-centered perceptions.Conclusions: Our results were in line with recent studies on team processes establishing that collaboration is a key component in multilevel examinations of predictors of patient-centered care. In terms of practice, our study showed that multidisciplinary teams should know that working hard on collaboration is an answer to the complexity of patient-centered care. Collaboration is related to the teams’ ability to respond to its challenges. It is also related to individuals’ beliefs central to the delivery of interprofessional care.

Abstract Background: The combination of interprofessional collaboration in teams and patient-centered care is a necessary amalgamation when it comes to delivering complex mental healthy care and services. Yet collaboration is challenging and patient-centered care is intricate to manage. This study examines the impact of predictors of patient-centered care such as team adaptivity and proactivity, collaboration, belief in interprofessional collaboration, informal role self-efficacy in multidisciplinary mental health teams.Method: Cross-sectional multilevel design using self-administered bilingual validated questionnaires.Results: This study showed that belief in interprofessional collaboration’s impact on patient-centered perceptions is increased in teams with high collaboration. We also showed that collaboration is a mediator; that is, a process by which team adaptive and proactive behaviors are transformed into positive patient-centered perceptions.Conclusions: In terms of research our results are in line with recent theorising on team processes and specifically established collaboration as key in a multilevel examination of predictors of patient-centered care perceptions. In terms of practice, we showed that multidisciplinary teams should know that working hard on collaboration as an answer to the complexity of patient-centered care impacts the teams’ ability to respond to its challenges but also impacts individuals’ beliefs central to the delivery of interprofessional care.

Focus on patient-centered care requires adaptation to patient perceptions according to the Institute of Medicine (IOM, 2001) report, Crossing the Quality Chasm. True patient-centered care necessitates congruence in patient and nurse perceptions of caring. Wolf et al.’s (2006) Caring Behaviors Inventory – elderly was administered to patients and nurses to determine differences in their perceptions of caring. There were statistically significant differences between patient and nurse ratings on several caring behaviors in specialty units. Since healthcare facilities assert patient-centered care is central to high quality and cost-effective care, it is critical to ensure there is congruency between patient and nurse perceptions of caring.
