Collaborative care best practice models: A new educational paradigm for developing interprofessional educational (IPE) experiences

摘要

Nurses, physicians and other healthcare professionals, as well as their student counterparts at all levels of training contend with enormous pressures that include a complicated healthcare system; healthcare workforce shortages; complex working relationships; increases in medical knowledge, technology, specialization and patient activism; and changes in healthcare delivery, financing and public policy. Working in teams mitigates these challenges, improves quality and efficiency, leads to better patient outcomes and increases job satisfaction (Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation, 2010).
