Interprofessional education (IPE) and collaborative practice (IPCP) are the keys to improving health, safety, satisfaction and cost in the modern healthcare system. Interprofessional Education Toolkit: Practical Strategies for Program Design, Implementation, and Assessment provides healthcare educators, administrators, and clinicians with a practical, evidence-based manual for leading change.  With these keys, we invite you to unlock meaningful collaboration for the next generation of health professionals, supported by an interprofessional collaboration of authors with more than 50 years of combined experience in education, practice, and scholarship in medicine, nursing, pharmacy, physical therapy, speech-language pathology, instructional design, simulation and online education.

Following a step-by-step approach with supporting resources and examples, this guide offers a structured method for successful interprofessional program design, implementation, and assessment.  Readers will explore IPE through the context of accreditation standards, administrative leadership, stakeholder buy-in, faculty and professional development, scholarship, teaching and learning, and curriculum development.  Ten toolkits give professionals and educators the resources they need to quickly start new IPE learning experiences. This book is the go-to manual to fully explore, successfully launch, and advance quality IPE that creates results.

From the Forewords

This timely and thorough IPE Toolkit offers practical strategies for implementing and improving IPE for all health professions educational institutions. It provides historical and pedagogical background and practical advice in several important areas. This work is an important practical contribution to advance the field of IPE. It should move us closer to the time when the public can be confident that all health professionals will have teamwork and interprofessional collaboration as core competencies. This will move us closer to the kind of transformed health care system we all want and need.”

“The IPE Toolkit will be an important resource for newly formed interprofessional faculty teams to develop, implement, and evaluate their IPE curricula. The authors have provided a historical view of IPE and IPCP and the rational for why IPE is important. The book includes 10 chapters and 10 IPE Toolkits. The chapters provide content on IPE ranging from the historical perspective to the need to evaluate learners and assess IPE programs. The subsequent IPE Toolkits are very practical in nature and include forms, checklists, and approaches to IPE in various settings, or clinical diagnoses, respectively (e.g., Senior Living Settings, Palliative Care, dysphagia-swallow screen, prosthetic checkout). The authors are providing a sequential approach to developing IPE activities. Faculty engaged in IPE will have a comprehensive resource to guide the development of IPE activities. The authors of this book have the knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm to help others develop a successful IPE Program.”

“To facilitate the healthcare transformation towards IPECP, the educators, researchers, administrators, and practitioners require and could significantly benefit from such a comprehensive IPECP Toolkits offered in this book. Different chapters of this book have utilized a practical step-by-step and evidence-based approach to help the readership to explore, develop, implement/advance, and evaluate their IPECP programs. Additionally, this book by providing supporting resources and examples can serve as a go-to manual to learn about and apply IPECP from accreditation standards to online learning and professional development opportunities.”

“The authors have achieved a difficult task in that they have prepared a text that will meet novice as well as experienced interprofessional education (IPE) providers with content and materials that will support and enhance their IPE programs. Programs being newly developed throughout the world will benefit from the historical evolution of IPE in the U.S. and in other countries. Such information will help with informing administrators about the importance and value of investing resources in IPE.  Likewise, the same information will prove valuable for IPE faculty development across the health professions, while emphasizing the vision for and benefits of interprofessional collaborative practice (ICP). The authors’ come from institutions which were early adopters and strong advocates for IPE.  They share a number of their own IPE educational experiences as well as those developed with collaborators in a Toolkit of 10 IPE resources.  Toolkit#1 - TeamSTEPPS - SBAR Communication for IPE and Toolkit #2 - IPE Ethical Dilemma Discussion offer valuable foundational instruction for students in all health professions.  Toolkits #3 through #9 – cover a broad range of clinical conditions as well as practice environments that offer examples for a wide variety of health professional students on the opportunities for and value of ICP.  Finally, Toolkit#10 - IPE Student Organizations exposes health professional students to organizations committed to the advancement of IPE and ICP, should they have a strong interest in joining and advancing the field . The authors state they have designed the Toolkit to help with Program Design, Implementation, and Assessment. I believe they have met their goal and that many programs, regardless of the level of development of their IPE program, will benefit from use or adaptation of the Toolkit offerings.”

Reviews

“…easy-to-read and flows well covering the history of IPE to curriculum design all the way to the ‘how-tos’ of an IPE Toolkit! The Toolkit is easy to understand and well thought out. …The theme of patient safety is woven well throughout the book in addition to all of the IPE terms.”
Susan Korek, MAED
Program Manager for Academic Affairs & Interprofessioal Education, School of Pharmacy, Medical College of Wisconsin

“This book is well-developed, representative of current evidence, and flows well from beginning to end.  It was easy to read and pulled the reader up onto the same platform (soap box) as authors sounding the call for interprofessional collaborative practice beginning with interprofessional education.  Justification was strong, sound, and convincing.  The Tool Kits (templates) provide and easy-to-use structure for the development of IPE and IPCP projects.  Once readers are hooked, the templates will make it easy to organize programs.”

“This book does an excellent job of laying out the steps for beginning a successful IPE program- from gathering support to designing and assessing curriculum. Toolkits are provided to support implementation of learning experiences.”
