Foundations of interprofessional collaborative practice in health care

This textbook introduces the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC, 2011, 2016) Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice and provides practice in applying these competencies to everyday practice.

Expertly written by an interprofessional team for a wide variety of health professions students, it provides a solid foundation in the four Core Competencies: Values and Ethics for Interprofessional Practice, Roles and Responsibilities, Interprofessional Communication, and Teams and Teamwork.

It then elaborates each Core Competency by defining and describing each Sub-Competency.

With a variety of interactive Case Studies, Caselets, and Exemplar Case Studies, it then illustrates the contributions and interconnectedness of each provider's role to demonstrate how Core Competencies would be applied and put into action for improved patient outcomes.
