What is it about?

Researchers together with medical residents, supervisors, educationalists and patients/caregivers developed a set of ‘Twelve Design-Principles’ to boost intraprofessional collaborative learning during hospital placements. These Design-Principles will provide a direction for educational activities that can provide both theoretical and practical understanding of intraPC, ensuring efficient and consistent patient care.

Why is it important?

Intraprofessional collaboration (or intraPC) in healthcare practice and education has been regarded as a premise for delivering superior and continuous care. Hospital placements during postgraduate training programmes offer excellent settings for learning intraPC, since they allow primary and secondary care residents to coexist. However, there is a lack of guidelines that target learning at this critical juncture. In nthis reserach 12 theory-driven and context-sensitive Design-Principles were developed to facilitate intraPC learning during hospital placements. These guidelines will provide a direction for educational activities that can provide both theoretical and practical understanding of intraPC, ensuring efficient and consistent patient care

Perspectives

I sincerely hope that healthcare providers, medical residents, supervisors, educationalists, and thus ultimately many patients and caregivers, will benefit from this study results.
