Area of Science:

  • Health Professions Education
  • Interprofessional Virtual Teams
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Clinical care increasingly relies on interprofessional virtual teams communicating asynchronously via technology.
  • Health professions education must adapt to foster competency in both interprofessional practice and information technology.
  • Developing effective teaching and assessment tools for these skills is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create and evaluate a Web-based case system for teaching and assessing interprofessional practice and information technology competencies.
  • To measure the impact of a virtual team learning experience on student knowledge and collaboration.

Main Methods:

  • A six-week geriatric learning experience was designed using a Web-based case system.
  • Health professions students formed interprofessional virtual teams, accessing profession-specific information and collaborating asynchronously.
  • Individual and team knowledge scores, along with case activity metrics (logins, posts, views), were tracked.

Main Results:

  • 80 teams (522 students) from medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and social work participated.
  • Team knowledge scores were significantly higher than individual scores (P < .001).
  • Higher knowledge scores correlated with increased case activity, particularly message board posts/replies.

Conclusions:

  • The Web-based case system offers a new method for teaching and assessing virtual interprofessional team competencies.
  • This system demonstrates potential as a valuable tool for evaluating interprofessional practice skills.
