Types of Teams • Multidisciplinary • Interdisciplinary • Transdisciplinary
Interprofessional Teams • An interprofessional team is made up of members of different professions and positions • Individuals bring to the team the specialised knowledge, skills, methods and attitudes of their disciplines • Members integrate their observations, bodies of expertise and spheres of decision making to coordinate, collaborate, and communicate to optimise client care
Working Together for HealthWorld Health Report 2006 • Shift from tertiary hospital to patient centred, home based and team driven care • Increasing incidence of chronic conditions • Core competencies include: patient centred care, partnering, quality improvement, information and communication technology and a public health perspective.
Bio-psycho-social Model(Roberts, 1994) ‘‘the human being as a complex mix of internal physical, psychologic, social, and cultural variables living within an equally dynamic environmental mixture of social, cultural, interpersonal, economic, and political variables’’ (Kielhofner, 1985 as cited in Peloquin, 1997, p. 167)

Barriers to IPP • Differences in history and culture • Historical interprofessional and intraprofessional rivalries • Differences in language and jargon • Differing professional routines • Varying levels of preparation, qualifications and status • Fears of diluted professional identity
Professional Cultures Culture: the social heritage of a community. Values, beliefs, attitudes, customs and behaviours • Autonomy • Beneficence • Confidentiality • Dilemma • Duty • Ethics • Fidelity
Professional Culture • Justice • Morality • Non-malfeasance • Veracity
Stereotypes Stereotyping is a natural human process Positive : guide their intergroup behaviours efficiently deal with an outgroup with minimum expenditure of energy Negative : generate false or negative expectations of another groups’ attitudes or behaviours
Stereotypes in Health Care “Many allied health professionals work with patients for episodes of care. They have a distinct and purposive range of activities that can be easily explained and their contribution to patient care within the team can be clearly demarcated.” Scholes, 2002. “I see the occupational therapist as someone who walks around with a roll of Velcro in one hand and a lump of Blutak in the other. I think they try and stick Velcro anywhere they can.” “The doctors do what the consultants do which is to be standoffish and give very vague answers to your question in a rather imperial manner.”

Changing Health Professions Move from traditional inward-looking, reactive culture to outward-looking, proactive culture Shift from profession-centred to patient-centred culture Blurring professional boundaries Changes in law re scope of practice/responsibilities Increased expectations of interprofessional collaboration in education and practice Focus on evidence-informed practice Increasing demands for accountability/transparency Internationalization
Professional Cultures as Barriers • Social work perspective: Problem external ∆ Change the world • Health care perspective: Problem internal ∆ Change the person
Policy drivers The Multidisciplinary Health Team must adopt interprofessional practice to address: • the changing needs of the population; • changes in the incidence and treatment of disease; • changes in technology; and • changes in consumer expectations. WHO: Framework for Action 2010 The World Health Organization recognizes interprofessional collaboration in education and practice as an innovative strategy that will play an important role in mitigating the global health crisis.
Collaborative Skills for Teamwork • Cooperation • Assertiveness • Responsibility • Communication • Autonomy • Coordination
Interprofessional competencies • Interpersonal and Communication Skills • Patient/Client/ Service user –centred and Family focussed care (Relationship-based care) • Collaborative Practice
Interpersonal and Communication Skills • I effectively express my own knowledge and opinions to others involved in care. • I actively listen to the knowledge and opinions of other team members • I use information systems and technology to exchange relevant information among all professionals to improve care.
Relationship-based Care • I involve the service user and family (carers) in group decision making processes • I ensure continuous integration of service users and families (carers) in the team in order to maintain optimal, evolving care
Collaborative Practice • I take part in and support collaborative decision-making • I understand and respect roles and responsibilities • I actively contribute to team functioning • I participate actively in continuous quality improvement
CR Interdisciplinary Competencies 1. Frameworks of understanding 2. Networks and teams-collaborative practice 3.Cultural awareness 4. Holistic focus 5.Consumer engagement
CR Interdisciplinary Competencies 6. Service continuity 7. Reflective practice 8. Community engagement 9. Boundaries and personal safety 10. Systems advocacy
Interprofessional Education Interprofessional Education(IPE) “occasions where 2 or more professions learn with, from and about each other to improve collaboration and the quality of care” “ … lack of coordination between the education and health areas of government, leading to mismatches between education and training places and service delivery requirements” Productivity Research Report (2005:p.xxiv)
Children's Services • Multi-agency working acknowledges the inter-relatedness of family needs in the fields of health, social services, law enforcement, child welfare, housing and education. "there is a terrible danger here – is there not, doctor – of social services on the one hand and you on the other each expecting the other to do the investigation, with the result that nobody does".
IP & Palliative Care Origins of palliative care lie in religious care and nursing rather than medicine (Crawford & Price, 2001).
Community Rehabilitation Holistic framework Consumer Driven Advocacy Role Seamless Service
Interprofessional Practice in Health Interprofessional Practice is a partnership between a team of health professionals and a client in a participatory, collaborative and coordinated approach to shared decision making around health issues Together everyone achieves more
Point 6 APA Code of Conduct APA members must communicate and cooperate with colleagues and relevant agencies in the best interests of their clients and the wider community. Members shall collaborate professionally with all relevant providers to achieve optimal client outcomes.
Longstanding fragmentation of health service delivery and the global health workforce shortage make collaborative teamwork an imperative. • The drive for collaborative teamwork is a World Health Organisation priority for action. • Collaborative teamwork is a sophisticated skill and some individuals are better at it than others; others may need staff development. • The main challenges to collaborative teamwork are understanding others’ roles, and effective communication. • If quality care is the goal for patients and families clinical competence must be balanced with collaborative competence. • Strategies to improve the effectiveness of service delivery need to be political, organisational and professional.
