Knowledge-Based IPE Leadership: Moving the "What?" to "So What?" to "Now What?"
After decades of struggle as a field, it is undeniable that in the past 10 - 15 years interprofessional practice and education has grown exponentially, achieving remarkable recognition and success. Now, the question we need to ask ourselves is “So What?”. Are health professionals working better together in clinical and community practice? Are we seeing better health outcomes in patients, families or communities? Have health systems achieved the Triple, Quadruple or Quintuple Aim? Are students really “collaboration-ready” and for what?
If the answer to these questions is yes, then we are on the right track. If not, let’s talk about it.
The opening session of the Nexus Summit will explore what leadership looks like in Version 5.0: Knowledge-based IPE introduced last year. We will use concrete national "wake-up calls" that will help us to make sense of the current environment for interprofessional practice and education that need to be addressed to start the healthy process of mythbusting1 to examine where we have been and how we can make sense of it. Our aim is to flip all of the “So what?” answers to yes to to start the process of “Now What?” to take IPE to new heights to grow together over the next decade.
After participating in this session, participants will:
- Explore the impact of IPE efforts over the past two decades on improving health and learning outcomes that matter.
- Discuss the move to IPE 5.0: Knowledge-Based IPE as a new approach to move from the current state to the desired future state recognizing the complexities and opportunities of the current environment.
- Commit to one area within their own interprofessional practice and education work to explore new approaches to address the question "Now What?" to achieve the Quadruple Aim.
