| Popis: | Two inter-professional initiatives, the Interdisciplinary Professional Education Collaborative in the United States and the Interprofessional Education Programme in the UK, are working to discover how health professionals can gain knowledge and skill in the continuous improvement of health care. They are seeking closer links between health care delivery and health professional education, between the needs of patients and communities, and those of learners. The ultimate goal is to create health care that: (1) seeks to understand and meet patients' needs; (2) organises care as a system focused around that need; (3) takes advantage of what teams of professionals can do when they work well together; and (4) improves constantly through the active efforts and innovative ideas of the health care team. This paper describes the initiatives and identifies common lessons for health care delivery and interprofessional education. |
