IPE Reflection and Evaluation
Over the past few weeks we have been working on learning about interprofessional education, or IPE. Within these training modules, there were four main topics that were discussed, known as the IPEC competency domains; values/ethics, roles/responsibilities, interprofessional communication, and teamwork/team-based care. All four of these domains are parts, making up one larger goal. This goal is to train future medical professionals to work together more fluidly, resulting in statistically fewer errors and higher success rates of care in hospitals and other settings. On top of briefly discussing what the four IPEC competency domains are, I will also be revealing the two most important IPE skills that I have learned …show more content…
This one is the most individualized of the four topics. This domain sort of “sets the stage,” making sure that the person learning has the right dispositions to be a good health care worker. To work in health care, a person has to be selfless and loving of the patients. They cannot be trying to rig the system to make more money or things like that. If you are not a good worker on your own, then you will not be a good worker in a team. So therefore being ethically sound and having good values to take care of the patient to the best of your ability is number one.
The second part starts to add some teamwork aspects to the learning. This section is all about roles and responsibilities. The responsibilities for a health care worker are primarily focused on providing the best care possible for the patients. This section is still focused on the individual health care worker, since it is talking about the individual’s roles rather than the team’s roles. However, part of the responsibilities required include being able to work well in a team, there is definitely some shift in focus towards team-based …show more content…
This last domain fully focuses on people working together in a group. This is the section that really pushes the interprofessional teamwork, and shows its importance the most. If people know exactly what is expected from them, as well as knowing what is expected of everyone else, then it will be much easier figuring out the best way to utilize those different roles to provide the best possible care. On top of that, people work better when they get along with the people that they work with. So therefore on many different levels it is important for people to get along and help each other to help the patients get
