National Initiative VII
National Initiative VII: Teaming for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice
National Initiative VII, will be an eighteen-month initiative that features monthly teleconferences or webinars and four in-person meetings. Monthly cohort teleconference groups will be structured by themes based on focus areas identified in the applications, with best practices from all cohort groups shared at the on-site meetings. On-site learning sessions topics will include research on teaming; barriers, gaps and stigma encountered in seeking IPCP; leadership, sustainability and culture required to support teaming; and C-Suite engagement.
The AIAMC’s twelve years of
experience with six successful National Initiatives provides a rich and unique
resource to the CLE community. We have
engaged key leaders from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical
Education (ACGME), American Hospital Association (AHA), American Medical
Association (AMA) and the American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE) in
planning NI VII and look forward to their continued input and support. The AIAMC is also an inaugural member of the National Collaborative for
Improving the Clinical Learning Environment (NCICLE), facilitated by the ACGME
and represented by more than 30 major health care organizations working to
improve the educational experience and patient care outcomes within clinical
learning environments.
WHY TEAMING?
The AIAMC is uniquely poised through its past experience with alignment
of medical education and institutional strategy to address Teaming on the Micro
Environment (Clinical Care Units and Service Lines), Meso Environment
(Hospitals and Clinics) as well as on a Macro Environment (Health Systems)[2]. Participants in NI VII will be equipped to develop and
implement Teaming strategies on impacting IPCP towards achieving an
interprofessional clinical learning environment that advances the safety and
quality of clinical care and the patient’s and clinician’s experience. To meet
the rising complexity of health care, now is the time for AMCs to support and
advocate for the advancement of Teaming for IPCP.
