Assessing Interprofessional Interactions of Primary Care Practitioner Trainees.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The patient-centered medical home model is transforming the delivery of outpatient care, with improved quality of care, better patient experiences, and enhanced processes of care. However, teams of interprofessional health care workers have diverse viewpoints that occasionally present instances of miscommunication. In addition, few materials exist that provide potential assessments for graduate-level interprofessional trainees. We constructed an interprofessional objective structured clinical examination (IPOSCE) to assess patient-centered behaviors of nurse practitioner residents and third-year internal medicine residents.

Methods

This IPOSCE comprises two phases. First, learners interact with a standardized patient with complex medical and psychosocial issues.
