Presenting at the Nexus Summit:
The Interprofessional Education Collaborative defines four core competencies for interprofessional collaborative practice (ICP): 1) Roles and Responsibilities, 2) Values and Ethics, 3) Teams and Teamwork, and 4) Communication. The goal of ICP is to improve the health of persons and populations across the continuum of care. Healthcare teams working together can achieve the Quintuple Aim of Improved Patient Experience, Better Health Outcomes, Lower Healthcare Costs, Clinician Well-Being, and Health Equity.
