1 Lauren Collins, MD Shoshana Sicks, EdM Alicia Muratore, MSIIICreating a VERTICAL Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice Curriculum Lauren Collins, MD Shoshana Sicks, EdM Alicia Muratore, MSIII
2 Objectives: Describe a method for developing an integrated interprofessional education and collaborative practice (IPECP) curriculum Identify the benefits and challenges of implementing a longitudinal IPECP curriculum across previously siloed health professions training programs Apply an easy-to-use mobile application tool to assess teamwork and collaborative practice behaviors
3 Format and Agenda: Curriculum – 20 minutesTeamwork video demonstration – 5 minutes Competency-based evaluation of video – 5 minutes SWOT analysis – 5 minutes Large group discussion – 10 minutes During the first portion of this session, we will present a detailed overview of the development, implementation, evaluation and ongoing continuous quality improvement of our VERTICAL curriculum. Participants will have the opportunity to apply a competency-based assessment tool for evaluating new IPECP activities after watching a teamwork simulation scenario. Participants will then perform a SWOT analysis to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to IPECP implementation and evaluation at his/her own institution. Finally, session participants will engage in an interactive discussion of lessons learned, culminating in the development of a comprehensive list of practical tips for implementing curricular changes that embrace new IPECP curriculum and evaluation models. Participants will leave the session with a better understanding of the key stakeholders for advancing IPECP, new solutions to scheduling and logistical challenges, a menu of replicable models of IPECP innovation in the classroom, simulation and clinical practice settings, and an innovative mobile application assessment tool to assist in documenting achievement of core competencies in IPE and collaborative practice.
4 Where we were… As background, you may remember a time when medical and health professions students were trained in siloes. Students may have even been co-located but students, faculty and staff rarely trained together or had the opportunity to learn with, together and about one another and to fully appreciate and respect each other’s expertise and role on the care team
6 How can we get there? VERTICAL
7 What is VERTICAL? Value-driven, Ethical, Responsible, Team-based, Interprofessional, Collaborative Aligned Leaders Goal: Train, assess, and nurture a cohort of highly competent students who will represent the new face of healthcare, VERTICAL seeks to prepare students who are: Value-driven, Ethical, Responsible, Team-based, Interprofessional, Collaborative, Aligned Leaders. Integrated across six colleges at our University, including our medical college, VERTICAL students will achieve the IPEC Core Competencies (IPEC, 2011) and graduate equipped to deliver high quality, person-centered collaborative care.
8 Background: Need for Education Reform“Regardless of the number of health professional required in the future, all health professionals must be trained differently if they are to meet the needs of a changing patient population to thrive in a changed health care delivery system. All health professionals should be educated so that they can contribute to meeting the societal goals of better care, better health and lower cost for all – the Triple Aim.” - George E. Thibault, Health Affairs 32(11) 2013: Following a series of reports from the WHO and IOM and others, health professions educators began to see that were was a real need to train our students and provider “DIFFERENTLY” to achieve our common goal, the Triple Aim, to improve patient outcomes, improve patient satisfaction and to lower health care costs.
9 Background: Importance of IPEIPE is now part of most accreditation standards IPE Core Competencies developed in 2011 and updated in 2016 (IPEC) Teamwork Communication Roles/Responsibilities Values/Ethics Since JCIPE was founded in 2007, IPE has gained more and more attention as a central component of all health professions training. In 2011 and again in 2016, an expert panel with representation from most health professions was convened and laid out a set of core competencies that all health professionals should be equipped with to serve as part of a high functioning team. These competency domains include: Teamwork, Commmunication, Roles and Responsibilities, Values/Ethics
10 Importance of Collaborative PracticeImproved patient outcomes Interdisciplinary team training recommended to increase patient safety and quality health care (IOM,1999) Increased patient satisfaction Shown to increase patient satisfaction and improve culture (Reeves, et al., 2008) Decreased costs Shown to reduce errors in the ED (Reeves, et al., 2008) Increased provider satisfaction Acknowledge role of workforce, restoring joy and meaning to practice (Sinsky, et al., 2013) Addresses “Quadruple Aim” to improve health care quality through IN the last decade, we have also seen tremendous growth in the literature on the benefits of Collaborative Practice: We now have AMPLE evidence that a high functioning team can lead to improving health care quality, leading to better patient outcomes, improved patient satisfaction, lower costs, and improved provider satisfaction

As numerous recent reports have highlighted, there is an urgent need to bridge the gap between interprofessional education and clinical practice to prepare a workforce that is ready to achieve the Triple Aim.
12 VERTICAL: Educational Project GoalsDevelop a sustainable comprehensive IPECP curriculum that results in measurable achievement of IPE Core Competencies that can be replicated by other institutions Accurately measure health professional student attainment of IPE core competencies, using a novel mobile application platform, and disseminate outcomes locally, nationally and internationally The goal of this project is to develop, implement, evaluate and disseminate a new comprehensive, integrated interprofesional education and collaborative practice (IPECP) curriculum, VERTICAL, across the educational continuum at our institution
13 VERTICAL: IPECP CurriculumVERTICAL is built on JHMP as a foundation and now offers a robust menu of IPECP experiences for clinical (as well as some non-clinical) students Expanded our existing IPECP programming by: Adding innovative Core IPC Experiences Supporting and/or creating new Advanced IPC Electives Offering IPE Certification for students who pursue advanced training and demonstrate proficiency Developing a novel, accessible mobile application platform for standardized IPE/CP 360 degree assessment and tracking (JTOG) VERTICAL uses our Health Mentors Program as a foundation from which to build a robust menu of IPECP experiences for all clinical students. VERTICAL expands existing IPE content and enhances evaluation by: 1. Adding innovative core IPECP experiences 2. Creating advanced IPECP elective opportunities 3. Offering a new IPECP certificate program 4. Developing a novel mobile application platform for competency-based assessment

28 VERTICAL: Assessment JTOG® App Competency based assessment Streamline all IPE, teamwork and collaborative practice evaluation for 360 degree assessment: Team (n >1750) Patient (n >400) Caregiver/Family (n >190) Individual (n > 10,500) This fall, we have gone through an iterative process of CQI as we pilot and refine all four versions (team, individual, patient and caregiver/family member) of the mobile “wrapped” version of the JTOG app before proceeding with converting this wrapped app into a “native” application. In addition, we have successfully recruited and trained a group of 10+ research assistants to help with administering the app on tablets with patients and caregivers (in inpatient and outpatient settings), as well as developed a handbook for RAs, which is continuously updated to improve consistency in administration of the tool. Our first validation study for the Team JTOG was published in JAH this summer, and we now have multiple additional pilots studies underway and planned to further look at the reliability and validity of this team tool in multiple settings, as well as the three new versions of the tool that we have now adapted and are utilizing across the institution. RAPID adoption of the tool which is now a part of at least three different TJU HRSA grants, as well as two applications (one for ACGME)….currently adopted by 15 different teams at TJU... And requested for use by over 40 other insitutions.
29 Team JTOG Roles and Responsibilities Teamwork Communication LeadershipTeam Characteristics IPEC Competency Members of the team came prepared to discuss the case/situation from their profession specific perspective. Roles and Responsibilities Members of the team appeared to understand the roles and responsibilities of other members of the team. Team members added other supporting pieces of information from their profession specific perspective regarding the case/situation. Team members sought out opportunities to work with others on specific tasks. Teamwork Team members engaged in friendly interaction with one another. Members of the team who were involved in the case/situation contributed to the discussion. Communication Discussion was distributed among all team members. Team members listened and paid attention to each other. Team members listened to and considered the input of others before pressing their own ideas. There appeared to be a team leader who coordinated the discussion. Leadership The team leader facilitated the discussion rather than dominated it. The opinions of team members were valued by other team members. Values and Ethics Team members appeared to have respect, confidence, and trust in one another. Team members appeared to feel free to disagree openly with each other’s ideas. Team JTOG VERTICAL’s development, implementation and assessment have demanded close collaboration with our institutional leaders, curriculum committees, patient safety institute, faculty, students, clinical affiliates, community organizations and patient partners.
