Format(s): Assessment/Evaluation Tool, Guide
The aim of this work is to help students and teams share an understanding of effective interprofessional collaborations in current practice. The National Interprofessional Competency Framework is used as a guide for this work (CIHC, 2010). A student-led appreciative inquiry approach enables the identification of tacit knowledge, successful collaborative practice, and barriers to collaboration that may not normally be revealed during students’ placements. Student(s) will be leading AI one-on-one interviews or focus group discussions with health care professionals from within the organization/team.
The purpose of the interviews is to gain an understanding of collaborative practice activities/procedures used to improve the quality of care and to clarify health professionals’ perceptions of the same. Interprofessional values, collaborative decision-making, role understanding, and functions of teams are explored.
