Summary
Introduction The Fort Wayne Area InterprofessionalEducation Consortium (FWAIPEC) evaluated the outcomes of its educational initiative with a pre and post assessment utilizing the Readiness for Interprofessional Education tool (RIPLS). Interprofessional practice is being recognized as essential to quality patient outcomes in an evolving health care system (Schmitt, Gilbert, Brandt, & Weinstein, 2103). If health care providers are expected to work together to provide safer patient care, their education should include preparation on how to collaborate and share expertise as a team. Interprofessional education (IPE) occurs when two or more disciplines learn with and about one another’s role in patient care so that collaboration occurs and patient outcomes are enhanced (WHO, 2010). The need for educational experiences for future health care providers in an interprofessional setting is essential to the future of health care in the US (Duley et al, 2012)
