Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Education
  • Interprofessional Practice
  • Patient Care Improvement

Background:

  • An acute care interprofessional clinical learning unit (IPCLU) was established in a large metropolitan hospital.
  • This initiative was part of a larger, community-based, participatory mixed-method research project.
  • Pre-implementation data identified strengths and opportunities for interprofessional education (IPE).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss clinical IPE and its relevance in nursing education.
  • To detail the creation and initiatives of the IPCLU for enhanced interprofessional care.
  • To offer considerations for advancing IPE in acute care settings.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an IPCLU model involving post-secondary health science faculties, students, and hospital staff.
  • Formation of a working group with interprofessional members and students.
  • Collection of pre-implementation data from patient care teams, students, and faculty.

Main Results:

  • The IPCLU facilitated enhanced interprofessional teaching and learning culture.
  • Initiatives increased awareness of interprofessional teamwork, professional roles, communication, and decision-making.
  • Clinical reflection was further developed within the acute care setting.

Conclusions:

  • The IPCLU model offers a viable approach to advancing interprofessional education in acute care.
  • Key initiatives focused on culture, awareness, communication, and reflection for sustainable IPE.
  • This model demonstrates potential for improving both student clinical learning and patient care outcomes.
