The Need for Interprofessional Collaboration in Healthcare
Collaboration has become an essential competency in the national and global plan for quality improvement. There is a need to transform a culture of avoidance and isolation that continues to cause medical errors and lower patient outcomes. A necessary strategy is to improve interrelationships and interactions between health care providers (HCP) and their teams in the clinical setting.
IPE History and YVIPEC Video Project Purpose
WHO Study Group
2007
Recognizing the importance of interprofessional education as one of the innovative approaches that can help tackle the global health workforce challenge, the World Health Organization (WHO) convened a WHO Study Group on Interprofessional Education & Collaborative Practice in 2007 to articulate a greater understanding of this issue within a global context.
Framework for Action
2010
The WHO Study Group engaged various partners and undertook a program of work that culminated in the publication of WHO’s Framework for Action on Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice in March 2010. The Framework highlights the current status of interprofessional collaboration around the world, identifies the mechanisms that shape successful collaborative teamwork, and outlines a series of action items that policymakers can apply within their local health system.
YVIPEC
2014
In the fall of 2014, several institutions of higher learning in the Yakima Valley coalesced to form the Yakima Valley Interprofessional Practice and Education Collaborative (YVIPEC). The central goal of the YVIPEC was to encourage healthcare educational programs to provide and advocate for learning across disciplines that enabled students to learn with, from, and about each other’s professions. That goal was expanded to include education in interprofessional engagement among faculty and community health providers.
PNWU YVIPEC Video Project
2021-Present
To help supplement the interprofessional curriculum at PNWU, a group of student volunteers set out to interview Yakima healthcare team members about their medical scope, team role, and educational journey. The hope is to share this resource with future students to enrich their interprofessional education through personalized stories from role models in the Yakima area.
Who Is This Resource For?
To our intended audience or any viewer whom may gain value from this project.
PNWU Preclinical Medical Students
The YVIPEC video project provides an interactive video resource aimed to supplement pre-clinical PNWU interprofessional education curriculum. Our team of medical students recruited local Yakima and Pacific Northwest healthcare team members to speak about their medical roles, scope of practice and personal stories. The goal is to share clinical pearls and awareness or healthcare team roles prior to clinical rotations and future medical practice.
Pacific Northwest High School & Undergraduate Students
The YVIPEC video project serves as a resource for local students in Yakima, and the rest of the Pacific Northwest, who hope to learn about different careers in healthcare. The interviews are with home-grown role models who are currently serving the Yakima community. The goal, through sharing their professional journeys, is to inspire interest in medicine and its many disciplines.
“Health care professionals trained in the Yakima Valley will practice collaboratively to improve health.”
