SYNOPSIS

Educational innovations incorporating tools for interprofessional communication have been reported. For example, as a version of SBAR patient handoffs, a standardized interprofessional tool was integrated throughout an undergraduate curriculum. The new tool was used as a consistent method for students to report on patients to both faculty and other care providers (Enlow, Shanks, Guhde, & Perkins, 2010). In a study of medical, nursing, pharmacy, and physician assistant students, a 4-hour joint training that included a component of TeamSTEPPS was evaluated for its impact on interprofessional communication. The results indicate that the joint training session significantly, and positively, influenced ratings with regard to communication in general and interprofessional communication (Brock et al., 2013).

Faculty have used roundtables, simulation, and standardized patients to develop interprofessional communication skills. In one study, researchers found that simulation experiences in medical and nursing student teams were superior to roundtables for the advancement of interprofessional communication skills (Reising et al., 2011). In another study, using standardized patients for health professions students improved confidence in communication skills (Solomon & Salfi, 2011). Health professions faculty have also integrated interprofessional communication competencies into stand-alone communication courses, as well as courses that focus on interprofessional communication (Doucet, Buchanan, Cole, & McCoy, 2013).
