Abstract
Background: Educators struggle to implement Interprofessional Education (IPE) in workplace settings. We adopted an educational design research (EDR) approach to implement an IPE activity and establish design principles supporting IPE implementation in workplace settings.
Method: We adopted an iterative process of analysis/exploration, design/construction and evaluation/reflection. We performed a scoping review, visited examples of IPE initiatives and involved workplace professionals to define preliminary design principles for implementation. An IPE activity was implemented where students from nursing, midwifery and medicine care for patients together. Continuous reflection during the EDR process supported the refinement of design principles.
Results: We describe 14 design principles for implementation of IPE: (1) Set an objective; (2) Make the project evidence informed and theory driven; (3) Nurture a growth mindset; (4) Stimulate transformative participation; (5) Be aware of culture; (6) Support faculty members; (7) Align learning outcomes (8) Design formative and reflective assessment methods; (9) Position within an authentic context; (10) Facilitate informal interaction; (11) Balance patients' safety with attributing responsibility; (12) Align with the workplace, seize opportunities to improve interprofessional collaboration; (13) Evaluate the implementation; AND (14) Trust the process. The design principles related to three overarching concerns describing IPE implementation as a change process: patient safety, workflow and culture.
Discussion: The 14 design principles support context sensitive IPE implementation in the workplace. The EDR approach nurtured transformative participation, empowering stakeholders to participate and contribute to design and decision making. This resulted in an evidence informed, interprofessional cocreation process in and with the workplace that was aligned with existing workflow and organizational culture.
期刊介绍:
Perspectives on Medical Education mission is support and enrich collaborative scholarship between education researchers and clinical educators, and to advance new knowledge regarding clinical education practices.
Official journal of the The Netherlands Association of Medical Education (NVMO).
Perspectives on Medical Education is a non-profit Open Access journal with no charges for authors to submit or publish an article, and the full text of all articles is freely available immediately upon publication, thanks to the sponsorship of The Netherlands Association for Medical Education.
Perspectives on Medical Education is highly visible thanks to its unrestricted online access policy.
Perspectives on Medical Education positions itself at the dynamic intersection of educational research and clinical education. While other journals in the health professional education domain orient predominantly to education researchers or to clinical educators, Perspectives positions itself at the collaborative interface between these perspectives. This unique positioning reflects the journal’s mission to support and enrich collaborative scholarship between education researchers and clinical educators, and to advance new knowledge regarding clinical education practices. Reflecting this mission, the journal both welcomes original research papers arising from scholarly collaborations among clinicians, teachers and researchers and papers providing resources to develop the community’s ability to conduct such collaborative research. The journal’s audience includes researchers and practitioners: researchers who wish to explore challenging questions of health professions education and clinical teachers who wish to both advance their practice and envision for themselves a collaborative role in scholarly educational innovation. This audience of researchers, clinicians and educators is both international and interdisciplinary.
The journal has a long history. In 1982, the journal was founded by the Dutch Association for Medical Education, as a Dutch language journal (Netherlands Journal of Medical Education). As a Dutch journal it fuelled educational research and innovation in the Netherlands. It is one of the factors for the Dutch success in medical education. In 2012, it widened its scope, transforming into an international English language journal. The journal swiftly became international in all aspects: the readers, authors, reviewers and editorial board members.
The editorial board members represent the different parental disciplines in the field of medical education, e.g. clinicians, social scientists, biomedical scientists, statisticians and linguists. Several of them are leading scholars. Three of the editors are in the top ten of most cited authors in the medical education field. Two editors were awarded the Karolinska Institute Prize for Research. Presently, Erik Driessen leads the journal as Editor in Chief.
Perspectives on Medical Education is highly visible thanks to its unrestricted online access policy. It is sponsored by theThe Netherlands Association of Medical Education and offers free manuscript submission.
