Educational strategies for enhancing IPL: Learning together, changing
together
Teamwork improves
patient outcomes & work environments
of health care providers
(Way et al. 2003, Learning and Teaching for Interprofessional Practice Australia, 2009, Mann et al. 2010, Schroder et al. 2010)
Teamwork aligned attitudes Post-op sepsis rates Sexton (2006)
IPL communication tool LOS in ICU 50% Pronovost (2003)
Teamwork system clinical error rate (30.9% to 4.4%) 27% in nurse turnover Morey (2002), DiMeglio (2005)
What does this mean for UG Health students?
• Health disciplines: practical experience is critical
• Often discipline specific practice
• Rethink models of best practice: shortage of clinical training places, complexity of contemporary practice and workforce constraints, accreditation reqs
• Simply merging healthcare professions from different backgrounds into a team does not guarantee that they will have the knowledge, skills or attitude necessary to work collaboratively to enhance patient care
(Miller et al. 1999)• Given the multifaceted nature of IPL, need to further understand the processes
of learning and change which occur (Mann et al. 2010; Schroder et al. 2012)

Feedback on pilot study
Session structure
Standardised patient
During the data collection sessions, the simulated patient:•acted out the scenario, •simulated attachments (i.e. oxygen mask, IV tubes, and wound moulage)
Data Analysis
Focus group data:• analysed and then triangulated (combined)• transcribed verbatim and analysed thematically
The researcher:• Viewed each session tape to develop a thematic framework
• Quotes were lifted from their original context and re-arranged under the newly-developed appropriate thematic content.
• The final stage involved determining the relationship between quotes, and links between the data as a whole.
Findings

•Valuable additional time in clinical practice prior to formal clinical placements in health settings
•More information on the scenario before the workshop
•3 weeks provided opportunity to review and improve practice

•A lecturer or clinician from their discipline to discuss care and assist in planning and implementation of care to the ‘patient’
•Another student from their own profession to collaborate with and to discuss care and assist in planning and implementation of care to the ‘patient’
•‘Time out’ from the scenario to liaise with a clinician or another student from own discipline to discuss care and assist in planning and implementation of care to the ‘patient’

Summary
The Division of Health Sciences InterProfessional Learning Group was convened for the purpose of determining practical IPL opportunities within the School of Nursing and Midwifery PBLs for students across the division.
Since the group’s inception, active debate has ensued and opportunities identified for continued improvement and integration of IPL within the health science curriculum.
This pilot study was one such opportunity.
Small study & cannot generalise but students who had not been on placement identified deficits and learnings in understanding of their role and others within the healthcare team and in patient care.
