Innovative Model for Promoting Interprofessional Dialogue and Action Across Healthcare Stakeholders: The ASAHP...

The ASAHP established the Clinical Education Task Force (CETF) in 2017 to identify strategies for clinical education. Implementing the CETF recommendations requires continuous collaboration between healthcare industry and academic partners.

ASAHP Regional Summits were planned and implemented to offer an active learning environment for stakeholders, strengthen translational skills, identify gaps in interprofessional collaborative practice (IPC), and create lasting networking opportunities.

The Regional Summits were organized in a standard format across three hub sites. During a virtual "Harvest" session all sites were video linked to continue the local dialogue on a national level. Outcomes were analyzed using mixed methods, including pre- and post-session surveys quantitative methods. Notes from table discussions were analyzed using a qualitative approach.

Qualitative results offered a rich dataset from the industry and academic perspective to provide a better understanding how the CETF recommendations are being understood. Ideas for future action and partnerships were identified. Various regions contributed insights that reflect unique environments.

The ASAHP Collaborative Stakeholder Engagement Model offers a robust and reproducible active adult learning model for IPC that can lead to change and continued engagement. These findings identify opportunities for deepening the connections made through regional hubs.
