Paper: Improved Outcomes Associated With Interprofessional Collaborative Practice
The Annals of Family Medicine has published a paper, "Improved Outcomes Associated With Interprofessional Collaborative Practice."
A Midwestern university and its academic health partner designed and implemented an interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) model within a family medicine residency and faculty practice at a new ambulatory care center (ACC). The study compared patient outcomes and costs before and after the ACC opened, and during the first year of the ACC under the IPCP model.
In the study's high risk cohort, IPCP implementation was associated with reducing, for instance, emergency department visits and hospitalizations.
