IPR.Global Partnership Development Working Group - Guide for Publishing in Journals with Interprofessional Focus

 

The Interprofessional Research.Global Partnership Development Working Group surveyed several journals with an interprofessional focus by posing specific questions that responses were sought to help to further clarify these journals' scope along with data such as time for review and publication. Additional information was drawn from the journal websites. 

A guide has been developed based on this information to enable members to better understand best fit for manuscript submissions on a specific topic and type of publication. This is not an all-inclusive list and for the most current information for authors, please access the respective websites or contact the journals directly.

IPR.Global Members Publish Editorial Advocating for a Systems Approach to Advancing Health Care Resilience

 Guest Editorial - Journal of Interprofessional Care

Advancing health care resilience through a systems-based collaborative approach: Lessons learned from COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has reminded everyone of the importance of long-term planning and preparedness. Effective pandemic preparedness requires the engagement of all stakeholders from across the spectrum of care while being aware of the strengths, susceptibilities, and capabilities of the health care system. Identifying gaps in preparedness, determining specific priorities, and developing plans for building and sustaining healthcare delivery while effectively addressing the pandemic and resilience at all levels from the individual, to team, organization, and system is crucial for success. There is an emergent need to build structures and processes that support resilience among current and future healthcare providers, teams, organizations, and systems. We believe that to prevent from and effectively address such crises in future, a systems-based collaborative approach to developing resilience is required. In response, InterprofessionalResearch.Global (IPR.Global) has recently published a Call to Action paper that provides key direction regarding interprofessional responses to address individual resilience, and support the resilience of healthcare teams, organizations, and systems.

New Article in Journal of Interprofessional Care: "From uniprofessionality to interprofessionality: dual vs dueling identities in healthcare"

Dr. Hossein Khalili and Dr. Sheri L. Price authored a new article  "From uniprofessionality to interprofessionality: dual vs dueling identities in healthcare" in the Journal of Interprofessional Care. The transformation from uniprofessionality to interprofessionality in healthcare requires the application of interprofessional socialization not just at the individual level, but also at the professional and system levels. In this process of interprofessional socialization, we need to embrace the uniqueness of each profession while cultivating an interprofessional collaboration culture in the system (dual identity). In so doing, we can facilitate a shifting mind-set, culture, operations, and policies in healthcare to recognize and foster the contribution and accountability of each profession toward achieving the quadruple aim of better care, better health, better value, and better work experience. Healthcare systems are still viewed as siloed performances of single professions, rather than a collective functioning of interprofessional teams. Current policies, procedures, and regulations in healthcare education and practice seem to contribute to this context in which the various health and social care professions are set in opposition to one another. The historical, and still prominent, uniprofessional education and socialization practices position health and social care professions to view each as rivals and threats toward achieving their profession/al advancement and growth.

Journal of Interprofessional Care Article Addresses the Implications of Transitioning IPE to Virtual Environments

Online interprofessional education during and post the COVID-19 pandemic

Director, University of Wisconsin Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education (UW CIPE)

Dr. Khalili has just published a Commentary in the COVID Special Issue of the Journal of Interprofessional Care. In this Online IPE during and post the COVID-19 pandemic commentary paper, Dr. Khalili discussed the conundrum that the pandemic has posed to many. Educators/facilitators are expected to employ online education, but some may lack the knowledge and expertise to create and facilitate an engaging, positive, and supportive online environment for their students. IPE itself is quite complex and challenging for many educators as in IPE we are working with diverse students’ population who come with different professional backgrounds, knowledge, skills and experience, while many of them may have preconceived notions and prejudices against each other. Adding another layer of complexity to this equation by fully transitioning IPE into a virtual environment is indeed a further challenge. This report discusses the application of Meaningful Discourse and the Community of Inquiry principles on developing online learning communities in interprofessional education.
