Call for Abstracts – IPE Ontario 2011
1. Theory Building, Research & Evaluation
Abstracts submitted to this category should address the following questions. What new theories have been developed and what existing theories have been applied to advance knowledge in this field? What do we now know about interprofessional education, practice and care? Where and how is it working? What outcomes are we evaluating, assessing and measuring and are they sufficient? Do we have new evidence to support interprofessional education leading to interprofessional practice, enhanced patient care and patient safety? How has this translated to recruitment and retention of health care providers and the effective use of health human resources?
2. Impact and Sustainability
Abstracts submitted to this category should address issues of sustaining interprofessional education and care initiatives, and their impact on collaborative practice. For example, what approaches to leadership have been successful to ensure impact and sustainability? What institutional, infrastructure and policy issues are critical for effective implementation and sustainability? How does one ensure commitment and engagement from stakeholders and partners? What is known about successfully navigating relationships among and between partners? What inherent power, social and political factors must be considered for effective interprofessional education and care? What will be the explicit and implicit impacts on the future and quality of health care?
3. At the Interface of Education and Practice
Abstracts should identify best practices, lessons learned and implications of working at the interface of health care and health education. How do we support health care learners’ transitions between education and practice during the learning process (e.g. entry-to-practice or novice to expert)? How do we facilitate the integration of interprofessional learning and collaborative practice within the workplace? How have the voices of patients/clients been integrated into our initiatives? What innovations and creative solutions have emerged across the health education and care system to inform a cultural shift, and how can they be applied to other settings?
4. Exploring Intraprofessional and Interprofessional Contexts
Abstracts in this category should address the following questions. What do we know about intraprofessional approaches that enable interprofessional education, practice and care? How have leadership, education, practice and care roles shifted, grown or evolved in a single profession or across professions to further interprofessionalism? What contextual factors, conditions or circumstances within single professions are critical to consider when planning and engaging in interprofessional initiatives? What have we learned from intraprofessional work that can be applied or generalized to interprofessional initiatives and strategies?
Abstracts should be no more than 250 words and should include any financial disclosures.
