“…Though high, variations in favorability ratings emerged, suggesting there are still areas that need improvement, therefore cannot be ignored. The observed findings are comparable with other studies [3][4][5][6][7][8] , that found that employing a multidisciplinary team strategy in healthcare delivery can lead to improved outcomes for patients. Subgroup analyses of satisfaction levels revealed no differences worth reporting.…”

“…There is evidence to support that employing a multidisciplinary team strategy in healthcare can lead to improved outcomes for patients. [3][4][5][6][7] One study that examined the outcomes of IPC 8 found that interprofessional team work decreases medical errors, improves patient satisfaction and patient care, and improves the knowledge and skills of professionals. In another study, the authors 9 argue that the growing prevalence of non-healing acute and chronic wounds is a major concern.…”

Background: Patient satisfaction with healthcare services is an important indicator of the patients' confidence in the healthcare system and a significant indicator of the quality of healthcare services delivered. This study assessed the level of patient satisfaction with wound care service delivery at the Hamad General Hospital (HGH) Outpatient Wound Clinic in Doha, Qatar. Methods: To complete this research a cross-sectional study design was conducted to survey patients who received wound care services from an interprofessional team at the HGH in Doha, Qatar from January 2015 to February 2016. Through this data collection method these patients' opinions on the services they received through the interprofessional approach were solicited. A total of 81 respondents completed a client satisfaction questionnaire (CSQ-8), 1 modified to include questions on socio-demographic characteristics. Data collection was completed from December 2015 to March 2016. Results: Overall, results from this study showed that patients were generally satisfied with wound care services delivered by an interprofessional team, as assessed by the CSQ-8. The results revealed favorable ratings of patient satisfaction ranging from 67.9% to 90.1%. Conclusions: Overall, study findings show that patients were mostly satisfied with wound care services and can be improved. A comparison of mean satisfaction scores by subgroups revealed no significant differences worth reporting.

“…Substantial IPE initiatives have also been implemented in clinical practice at the post-licensure stage, in contexts such as diabetes care [7], mental health care [8], and stroke rehabilitation [9]. As categorised by Barr et al [10], there are various learning and teaching approaches in IPE, including exchange-based learning, action-based learning, practice-based learning, simulation-based learning, observation-based learning, e-based learning, and received learning.…”

Interprofessional education (IPE) fosters effective team-based collaborative practice among members of different health care professions to advance high-quality and safe patient care. Although the importance of IPE has been recognized and IPE initiatives have expanded rapidly in the past decades, substantial difficulties in IPE assessment still exist. At present, a lack of consensus on the optimal approach to IPE assessment contributes to uncertainty about the level of attainment of collaborative team performance. This paper aims to provide an overview of the benefits and current challenges associated with IPE assessment. Furthermore, a multifactor model with an assessment matrix and assessment blueprints from a recent study is briefly discussed. We also provide examples of assessment blueprints for the team management of stroke patient discharge covering a competency examination at the levels of individuals, the team, and the task.

“…Four of the six primary care studies included in the review reported positive outcomes for interprofessional education. Barcelo et al (2010) reported significant gains in the proportion of diabetic patients with good glycaemic control in a randomised controlled trial (RCT) comparing the implementation of a new information system with the implementation plus interprofessional education. Helitzer et al (2011) compared an interprofessional education programme to no intervention and reported significant gains in patient-centred communication skills.…”
