10 IPE Faculty Lead Assessment for Each Participating Health Professional Program
Purpose of IPE Faculty Lead Assessment for Each Participating Health Professional Program 11 Purpose is to gather information about the work AETCs will be conducting with each health professional program This assessment will capture the diversity of program models being implemented by AETCs to train faculty and students on HIV IPE This assessment will also help answer a main evaluation question posed by HRSA/HAB “What are the effective practices for establishing an interprofessionally trained workforce?”
Content of the IPE Faculty Lead Assessment for Each Participating Health Professional Program 12 Assessment includes questions on: Stage of project implementation Project components for participating faculty and students Role of the faculty lead championing the project Strategies used to incorporate HIV IPE content into curriculum Health professional program teaching on IPE and HIV IPEC core competency focus of project Description of student practicum and anticipated enrollment Anticipated areas of assistance needed
Sampling for IPE Faculty Lead Assessment for Each Participating Health Professional Program 13 This assessment should be completed by the participating faculty member leading and championing this project within their health professional program This assessment might serve a good orientation instrument to facilitate discussion between the AETC and faculty lead on the project If this person has not yet been identified, then the AETC regional/local staff with the most knowledge about the IPE project and professional program should complete Some regions, still in the development stage, may need to draw upon several AETC faculty/staff members to complete the assessment
Data Collection Strategy for IPE Assessment for Each Participating Health Professional Program 14 One assessment should be completed for each health professional program that will participate in the project For example, Pacific AETC is collaborating with three health professional programs, so they should submit three assessments, one for each program Paper assessment was made available on April 8 th and the online version was shared on April 15 th This assessment should be completed online, to ensure data quality
Online Administration for IPE Assessment for Each Participating Health Professional Program 15 Two separate online administration options were developed Direct link that is included an sent directly to potential participants; or Link to be inserted as part of a “registration” process within Virtual Forum (see slides 17 thru 20) Using this method will allow you to internally track who completed the assessment without being able to link their responses to their names (i.e., Jane Doe only partially completed the assessment and now you can her a tailored reminder about completing the assessment)
