Interprofessional education is becoming increasingly common in health professions’ pre-licensure curriculum. As part of this education, students need “real” opportunities to see interprofessional collaborative practice role modeled and to practice “real” interprofessional team-based care.
Teamwork is essential for the safe, reliable delivery of health care, but creating health care teams that function effectively in patient-centered medical homes (PCMH) remains challenging.
At the end of 2014, HHS released data showing dramatic reductions in preventable harm, resulting in 50,000 fewer patient deaths and $12 billion in cost savings over the last several years.
