This book was released on 2014 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to investigate the perception of the extent of collaboration among occupational therapists and other health care professionals. Occupational therapists and certified occupational therapy assistants who were currently practicing, licensed or registered, and current members of the Amerian Occupational Therapy Association at the time of the study were targeted. A survey was distributed utilizing a mixed methods research design. A randomized sample of 100 individuals was derived and provided by AOTA. Out of the 100 individuals, there were 19 respondents. Snap survey software was used to assist with the design and distribution of the survey and analysis of the responses. The major findings of the study suggest that interprofessional collaboration is perceived as effective in regards to enhancing client care. Although all respondents reported collaborating with other health professionals, many of the respondents felt occupational therapy is not a very well understood profession. In addition, a majority report minimal engagement in interprofessional education prior to the clinical setting. Respondents felt interprofessional education positively affects client outcomes." -- From page 2.

This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interprofessional teamwork and collaborative practice are emerging as key elements of efficient and productive work in promoting health and treating patients. The vision for these collaborations is one where different health and/or social professionals share a team identity and work closely together to solve problems and improve delivery of care. Although the value of interprofessional education (IPE) has been embraced around the world - particularly for its impact on learning - many in leadership positions have questioned how IPE affects patent, population, and health system outcomes. This question cannot be fully answered without well-designed studies, and these studies cannot be conducted without an understanding of the methods and measurements needed to conduct such an analysis. This Institute of Medicine report examines ways to measure the impacts of IPE on collaborative practice and health and system outcomes. According to this report, it is possible to link the learning process with downstream person or population directed outcomes through thoughtful, well-designed studies of the association between IPE and collaborative behavior. Measuring the Impact of Interprofessional Education on Collaborative Practice and Patient Outcomes describes the research needed to strengthen the evidence base for IPE outcomes. Additionally, this report presents a conceptual model for evaluating IPE that could be adapted to particular settings in which it is applied. Measuring the Impact of Interprofessional Education on Collaborative Practice and Patient Outcomes addresses the current lack of broadly applicable measures of collaborative behavior and makes recommendations for resource commitments from interprofessional stakeholders, funders, and policy makers to advance the study of IPE.

Download or read book Interprofessional Evidence Based Practice written by Penelope Moyers and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-01 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interprofessional Evidence-Based Practice: A Workbook for Health Professionals promotes active, team learning of interprofessional evidence-based practice (EBP). This book is distinctive in that it departs from the tradition of evidence-based practice occurring from a single disciplinary perspective. Interprofessional evidence-based practice is described in terms of a dynamic team process that blends the patient’s preferences and values, the expertise of practitioners from multiple disciplines, and incorporates multidisciplinary evidence. Teams learn to use the nine phases in the interprofessional process to challenge current disciplinary paradigms and biases to create an integrated approach to patient care, healthcare delivery, or population health. Drs. Penelope Moyers and Patricia Finch Guthrie focus on developing and fostering collaboration between academic institutions and healthcare organizations so that students and faculty participate on interprofessional teams with mentors and staff from a healthcare organization. Interprofessional Evidence-Based Practice: A Workbook for Health Professionals also addresses the communication and cross-organizational factors important for supporting the work of the team. Common team and mentoring issues encountered in EBP are clearly articulated, along with the iterative problem-solving approaches necessary to mitigate temporary “stumbling blocks.” The book provides detail for developing and launching an Interprofessional Evidence-Based Practice program that goes beyond the evidence process to include implementation science to support practice change. Approaches for developing partnerships for supporting this type of program between universities and health care institutions are contained within, including sample partnership agreements and resource-sharing strategies. Inside Interprofessional Evidence-Based Practice: A Workbook for Health Professionals, each chapter includes performance objectives, key words, checklists, and materials and resources that an interprofessional team can use. PowerPoint lectures, mentor newsletters, forms, tools, and other resources are included on a companion website to guide team learning about key EBP topics, as well as to support the program coordinators and team mentors in their work with the interprofessional teams. Interprofessional Evidence-Based Practice: A Workbook for Health Professionals is the go-to resource for those who want to engage in interprofessional evidence-based practice, and for leaders who want to develop and implement an interprofessional evidence-based practice program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has become increasingly clear regarding the benefits of interprofessional collaborations in health care. Pediatric therapists have long recognized that coordinated care and advocacy for children and their families promote healthy growth, development, and participation in a wide range of environments. To this end, Pediatric Therapy: An Interprofessional Framework for Practice has been designed to engage students and clinicians in interprofessional learning experiences that cultivate collaborative practice and optimize the outcomes of those served. Dr. Catherine Rush Thompson and her team of contributors represent years of experience across the fields of physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology. Rather than discussing each of these fields in isolation, however, the text explores professional roles and responsibilities, emphasizing essential skills needed for collaboration in a range of pediatric settings. Key Interprofessional Concepts Covered: Foundations and philosophies that serve as a basis for pediatric care Assessing infants, children, youth, and adolescents in various situations Legal and ethical considerations impacting pediatric care Unique issues encountered in settings where pediatric therapies are offered Using current evidence and the clinical reasoning process for designing and modifying interventions Each section of Pediatric Therapy offers case-based learning activities requiring interprofessional collaboration for clinical reasoning to optimize care. This approach encourages an appreciation of the importance of holistic care, as well as an understanding of the roles, frames of reference, and approaches favored by each discipline. Pediatric therapists and others who work in healthcare and educational settings will appreciate Pediatric Therapy: An Interprofessional Framework for Practice as a guide for developing the interprofessional competencies needed to achieve desired outcomes for children and their families.

Download or read book Examining the Effectiveness of Interprofessional Collaboration for Preprofessional Speech language Pathology and Occupational Therapy Graduate Students written by and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the effects of an emergent writing interprofessional collaboration experience for preprofessional speech-language pathology (SLP) and occupational therapy (OT) graduate students. The preprofessionals were split into two groups (SLP only and SLP-OT pairs) and delivered emergent writing interventions to preschoolers either individually (SLP only) or collaboratively (SLP-OT pairs). The purpose of this study was to investigate how working collaboratively versus working individually to deliver the interventions to preschoolers influences the preprofessionals' knowledge of theInterprofessional Education Collaborative's (IPEC) core competencies and emergent writing concepts. The results showed that paired preprofessionals reported higher levels of interprofessional competency than unpaired preprofessionals. The paired preprofessionals also demonstrated a deeper understanding of the IPEC core competencies and showed greater gains in knowledge of emergent writing concepts. The study concluded that theopportunity to work collaboratively and apply theoretical knowledge through hands-on experiences leads to increased learning outcomes and better equips preprofessional students with the skills necessary for successful collaboration.
