 Background: In the Competence Standards of Indonesian Doctor (SKDI) which will ratify, interprofessional communicationand collaboration are competencies that Indonesian doctors mustown. Therefore, the implementation of interprofessional education (IPE) is a must for medical education institutions. Medical Faculty of the Universitas Pembangunan Nasional Veteran Jakarta (FK UPNVJ) has not specifically built the IPE module but has introduced aspects for interprofessional collaboration in the curriculum. Evaluation of the perceptions and readiness of students about IPE learning in students of academic year 2, 3 and 4 using the Indonesian version of The Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale (IEPS) and Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) showed that there were no differences in IEPS scores on student years 2nd and 3rd but decreased in 4th year students and the best RIPLS scores in the 3rd year and decreased in the 4th year. Against these results, intervention recommendations are needed to obtain results following the demands and expectations.Objectives: This study aims to obtain recommendations made based on disscussion and analysis of teaching staff of the FK UPNVJ about the results of evaluating perceptions and readiness of the FK UPNVJ at the academic stage.Methods: The research was a phenomenological qualitative research. Data collection through the opened-ended on Focus Group Discussion and in-depth interviews with teaching staff of the FK UPNVJ.Results: The teaching staff stated the importance of implementing interprofessional education by forming a curriculum. The curriculum must be more focused on interprofessional communication and collaboration since the academic stage. This implementation can be done well if get full support from the dean and the rector. The teacher staff, dean and rector’s commitment to the implementation of interprofessional education is the demand as well as the hope for the implementation of interprofessional educationConclusion: The obligation to implement interprofessional education is not natural, but it is not impossible. Several things can be done so that doctors graduating from FK UPNVJ can own communication and interprofessional collaboration competencies.

Background: The concept of patient centered health services encourages interprofessional collaboration practice (IPCP), including teaching hospitals. IPCP in teaching hospitals expected to be implemented properly as a role model for students. Students in academic stage are expected to understand the concept of interprofessional education (IPE) and apply IPCP concept during clinical practice. This study aimed to determine the implementation of IPCP and various factors related to IPCP in teaching hospitals.Methods: This study used a mixed methods-sequential explanatory design with the subjects of healthcare professionals at RSUD R Syamsudin SH recruited using systematic random sampling. The research began with collecting quantitative data to measure the implementation of IPCP using the Indonesian version of the Assessment of Interprofessional Team Collaboration Scale-II (AITCS-II), continued with collecting qualitative data with in-depth interviews to explored IPCP and various factors associated with its implementation.Results: A total of 320 respondents filled out the AITCS-II questionnaire and 11 participants were interviewed deeply. More than 66% of respondents had a good collaboration in each domain; 73,8% of respondents had a good collaboration in IPCP; profession background significantly contributed IPCP (p <0.05). Qualitative analysis was carried out with a semantic theme and obtained 3 themes: not ideal  IPCP implementation, perception of IPCP domains by healthcare professionals and barriers in implementing IPCP. Conclusion: The perception of IPCP that well implemented may resulted from improper understanding of IPCP. We still found barrier in implementing IPCP related to stereotypes, hierarchical culture, interprofessional communication and regulation.

Background: Interprofessional Education (IPE) is a process occurs when students from two or more professions learn about and from each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes. Faculty initiated the IPE program called Community and Family Health Care - interprofessional Education (CFHC-IPE) that began in 2013 with the aim to build the capacity of community, family medicine and interprofesional. This study aims to evaluate the effect of context, input and process towards the achievement of interprofessional competences.Method: This study was a qualitative research design using a case study evaluation Context-Input-Process-Product (CIPP). Respondents of this study are five-IPE CFHC managers, three heads of study program, 10 lecturers and 35 students from PSPD, PSIK and PSGK. Data collected through FGD, in-depth interviews and document analysis. FGD and in-depth interviews conducted using an interview guide while document analysis carried out on the grand design CFHC-IPE. Results: Context evaluation shows that the needs assessment has not been carried out. Input evaluation shows that the preparation of the grand design CFHC-IPE is not align and debriefing facilitators need to be added. There were gaps in the implementation of learning activities and assessment and program monitoring was inadequate. IPE competencies in the first year on the student of 2014 were not achieved. Conclusion: Inter-professional communication and teamwork competence on student of class 2014 at CFHC-IPE program in the first year was not achieved and influenced by the weaknesses in the content, inputs and processes aspects.

The Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) has published guidelines to promote interprofessional collaboration. These guidelines are encompassed in four core competency sets. The core competencies are: Core 1: Value/Ethics, Core 2: Roles and Responsibilities, Core 3: Interprofessional Communication and Core 4: Teams and Teamwork. IPEC has outlined sub-competencies for each, which can be interpreted as a compilation of principles, behaviors, precepts and competencies. Together they serve to promote direction for interprofessional collaboration amongst health care professionals. However, the compilation may need more explanation to guide education and practice. Though the sub-competencies described in each core overlap in their application, specifically, Core 2: Roles and Responsibilities is explored for its underpinnings. The literature to date reflects educational delivery modes, but specific content is sparse, and not in the totality of the representative sub-competencies. Much of the literature omits the background that creates the context, and the content for, our deeper understanding of the principles. Therefore, important information is missing that underpins the competency statement set to teach and to learn these sub-competencies. The aim was to identify principles and applicable content to both support learning and to address barriers to learning, which may be essential to implement the sub-competency statements. The sub-competencies independent of further elucidation are unlikely to yield the comprehension needed for implementation and discernible actions that prompt interprofessional collaborative success.

Interprofessional education in preparation for the skills to execute teams and teamwork through interprofessional collaboration has been publicized and mandated by several professional associations through accreditation standards. The prerequisite is emphasized by the National Academy of Medicine (formerly the Institute of Medicine) as a mantra for successful healthcare outcomes. In response, the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (known as IPEC) published core competencies in 2011 with an update in 2016. While these statements are not each independently expressed in measurable terms, they stand as a compendium to guide interprofessional collaboration. To date, the literature does not reflect a comprehensive approach to explicating or interpreting these to be embraced more readily. Further, the literature to enlighten student education outstrips the literature to illuminate faculty education, though we acknowledge the work of the National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education to inspire faculty education through a variety of platforms. Though the IPEC publications represent seminal work in the US, built on earlier work from the UK and others, its translation for faculty education applying a straight-forward, orderly, and methodical approach has not been done. Our attempt was to take one of the four (“4”) IPEC core competencies, Core Competency 3: Interprofessional Communication, and describe its underpinnings in a systematic way as another tool for faculty education. It may open the door to further expound on each competency statement to employ IPEC competencies within a healthcare community that includes students, faculty and post graduate professionals.

The increasing rates of comorbidities among patients and the complexity of care have warranted interprofessional collaboration (IPC) as an important component of the healthcare structure. An initial step towards assessing the effectiveness of collaboration requires the exploration of the attitudes and experience of healthcare professionals towards IPC. This online survey aimed to examine the attitudes of healthcare professionals working in a large public academic medical center toward IPC in patient care and the healthcare team, and their behavior and experience regarding IPC. The rankings, according to the perceived importance among the respondents, of the four Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) core competencies (values/ethics, roles/responsibilities, interprofessional communication, teams/teamwork) were assessed. There were strong but varying levels of consensus among healthcare professionals (N = 551) that IPC facilitates efficient patient care, improves patient problem-solving ability, and increases better clinical outcomes for patients. They acknowledged that IPC promotes mutual respect within the healthcare team and providers’ ability to make optimal patient care decisions. However, overall more than 35% of the respondents did not attend multidisciplinary education sessions (grand rounds, seminars, etc.), and about 23% did not participate in bedside patient care rounds. Interprofessional communication was ranked as the most important IPEC core competence. Although the attitude towards IPC among healthcare professionals is strongly positive, many healthcare professionals face challenges in participating in IPC. Institutional policies that facilitate interprofessional learning and interactions for this group of healthcare professionals should be formulated. Online distance learning and interactions, and simulation-enhanced interprofessional education, are options for addressing this barrier. Hospital administrators should facilitate conducive work environments that promote IPC, based on IPEC core competencies, and promote programs that address the challenges of IPC.

Purpose To enhance audiology and physician assistant (PA) student appreciation for collaboration/team-based care through an interprofessional educational activity focused on hearing assessments. Method A total of 18 students from Louisiana State University Health–New Orleans's audiology and PA programs participated in an optional interprofessional education learning opportunity, which included a demonstration of hearing assessments. To assess student perspectives regarding interprofessional learning, the students completed pre- and post-surveys. Results Eighteen students completed a survey, including 5 questions using a Likert scale and 1 open-ended question. Both audiology and PA students demonstrated significant statistical improvement in 2 interprofessional competencies: roles/responsibilities and interprofessional communication. Students also reported increased awareness and knowledge in the skills of the opposite professions as related to hearing assessments. Conclusion Integrating interprofessional education experiences within an audiology program promotes collaborative practice patterns and supports new educational accreditation standards.

Interprofessional collaboration (IPC), also referred to as interdisciplinary collaboration, is defined in the social work literature as “an effective interpersonal process that facilitates the achievement of goals that cannot be reached when individual professionals act on their own” (Bronstein, 2003, p. 299). IPC is well documented in health care literature and is largely considered best practice in both clinical & educational settings. So much so that the World Health Organization (WHO) developed a Framework for Action on Interprofessional Education (WHO, 2010) and the Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative (CIHC) developed a National Interprofessional Competency Framework (CIHC, 2010). According to a systematic review of collaborative models for health and education professionals working in the school settings, models of IPC are described in research but not explicitly evaluated, and there remains a need for robust research in this area (Hillier, Civetta, & Pridham, 2010). This article describes the implementation of an IPC with high school aged students in a special education classroom. The following interconnecting domains from the Canadian National Interprofessional Competency Framework (CIHC, 2010) will be discussed and described: Role Clarification Patient/Client/Family/Community-Centered Team Functioning Collaborative Leadership Interprofessional Communication Interprofessional Conflict Resolution Background considerations, benefits, and barriers will be reviewed also.
