Creating story-based videos to enhance interprofessional education for collaborative patient-centred care

This project will create a series of videos to support interprofessional education. The videos will be compiled into a DVD series that will enable educators to make their interprofessional education session(s) more engaging, patient-centred, and reality based. To support use of the videos, we will develop facilitation guides which will present options for effective use of the DVDs and suggestions for debdefing each video. The videos will:

• Focus on the interprofessional competencies identified in the National Interprofessional Competency Framework
• Depict patients involvement in interprofessional collaboration as well as health care providers
• Include a wide range of patient populations — including different demographic and ethnic groups
• Show health care teams in practice — demonstrating both effective and ineffective team-based care
• Address care in different health care contexts
• Demonstrate the benefits of a collaborative patient-centred approach to care
• Demonstrate how lack of communication and collaboration can be detrimental to patient outcomes
