Synopsis

This CIPEI involves the following three activities: 1) complete an IPE faculty development program, 2) participate in an IPE sepsis simulation case, and 3) create a Sepsis Collaborative Care “Best Practices” Model.

Purpose

To describe the development, implementation, and evaluation of this CIPEI.

Methods

1) Design and implement an IPE faculty development program to assist faculty in understanding IPE concepts and simulation as an IPE teaching strategy, 2) present the Sepsis IPE simulation case entitled “Interprofessional Implementation of the Surviving Sepsis Campaign,” and 3) translate IPE concepts to practice by creating a Sepsis Collaborative Care “Best Practices” Model.

Results

IPE faculty program was positively received; activities 2 and 3 are in process.

Application

Advancing IPE using simulation can address patient safety and advance quality agendas.

Future Directions

Provide new IPE experiences using simulation.
