  2. Outline: • Introduction • CIHC-ResearchNet Vision & Goals • Why CIHC-ResearchNet? • Group Discussion • Network Development • Survey Results • Wrap Up

  3. Who Are We? • CIHC-ResearchNet is a Sub-Committee of the Research and Evaluation (R&E) Committee of the Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative (CIHC) • CIHC is a national hub for interprofessional education and collaboration in healthcare practice and patient-centred care

  4. Vision A National Interprofessional Health Research Network of: • Health program students, • Faculty/Educators, • Researchers, • Clinicians/ Practitioners, • Administrators, and • Organizational leaders engaged in collaborative research and knowledge translation to advance Interprofessional Education and Practice (IPE&P).

  5. Goals • To build national capacity for and facilitate IPE&P research • To provide a forum for networking, discussion, information exchange, and research • To foster new, and enhance existing, interprofessional collaborations among and between those who are conducting/funding IP research studies • To foster the development of IECPCP by providing a vehicle for promoting the research-based evidence for best-practice IPE&P

  6. Why CIHC-ResearchNet? CIHC-ResearchNet members are integral to a network of researchers in IPE&P aimed at fostering: • Access to IP researchers/experts for advice and mentorship • New collaborative partnerships and research opportunities • Timely knowledge exchange, dissemination and translation • Awareness of national and jurisdictional developments in IPE&P

  7. Group Discussion; Table 1 • What would help facilitate discussion, networking, and interprofessional education & research with individuals within your organization?   • What would help facilitate discussion, networking, and interprofessional education & research with individuals outside of your organization?

  8. Group Discussion ; Table 2 • What do you see as potential issues/ challenges of a national forum to support work encompassing interprofessionality? • What are some possible strategies to address the issues/challenges described above?

  9. Group Discussion ; Table 3 • What local, provincial, or national IPE networks are you currently a member of? • What local, provincial, or national IPE projects are you currently a member of?

  10. Network Development Strategic Plan The creation of CIHC-ResearchNet will involve 3 interrelated phases—formative, evolving, and maturing. • Phase 1- Formative: Strategic plan, surveys, database and website development - 1 year • Phase 2- Evolving: Network promotion: nationally, internationally, and beyond healthcare; knowledge exchange & dissemination - 1 year • Phase 3: Maturing: Establishment of local chapters, collaborative research projects, hub of information on research in IPE&P – 6 months to 1 year

  11. Phase 1-Formative Step A: Preliminary Network Structure • Development a Strategic Plan for each phase of the network • Actions: • Environmental scan; SWOTs analysis (SWOTs is an acronym for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats). • Determining internal strengths and weaknesses • Determining external opportunities and threats • Assessing what resources are available and how any existing gaps can be bridged • Identifying the impact of any relevant constraints to the planning process itself (time, money, people availability) • Creating an action plan • Who do what, when and how

  12. Phase 1-Formative Step B: Survey • Obtaining some core information about IPE/IPP research in Canada • Core Required Information Includes: • the numbers of researchers (along with their contact information if possible) • their research areas of interest • their source of funding • Actions: • Connection with IP Offices • Obtaining information about students (under/graduate, post-doctoral) and faculty/educators who are conducting (or willing to conduct) research on IPE/IPP • Connection with CIHC Mainstream • Obtaining information about clinician/practitioners, administrators, and organizational leaders who are conducting research on IPE/IPP • Connection with NaHSSA • Obtaining information about students who are conducting research on IPE/IPP

  13. Phase 1- Formative Step C: Database • Creating an initial database • Actions: • Connection with the stakeholders • Membership with CIHC-ResearchNet • Develop a database structure

  14. Phase 2- Evolving • Step A: National and International CIHC-ResearchNet Promotion • Step B: Expanding the network within and beyond the health institution/agencies • Step C: knowledge exchange & dissemination

  15. Phase 3- Maturing • Step A: Establishment of local chapters, collaborative research projects • Step B: Hub of information on research in IPE&P • Step C: Interagency Connection • Connection with local/provincial/national health and social policymakers and decision-makers

  16. Where Are We At Right Now? CIHC-ResearchNet is in its first phase of network formation. • The CIHC-ResearchNet working group is well organized and meets regularly through monthly teleconferences • We continue to administer surveys to academic and health service delivery organizations as a means of gathering more information about their research endeavours and interests in joining the CIHC-ResearchNet

  17. Survey Results http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&vps=1&jsv=304d&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=203029388090570534043.0004982989c7fa2b57477

  18. Next Steps • To develop a national database and launch a website
