2 Current State of Health Care The need for transformative change in the U.S. health care system is well documented $2.6 trillion was spent in 2011 An estimated $750 billion was wasted on treatments that didn’t improve health 50 percent of patients with a chronic condition reported that information about their diagnosis and treatment was not available when needed One-third of adults say the U.S. health care system is broken The National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education is supported by a Health Resources and Services Administration Cooperative Agreement Award No. UE5HP The National Center is also funded in part by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. © 2014 Regents of the University of Minnesota, All Rights Reserved Source: Institute of Medicine of the National Academies: “What’s Possible for Health Care?”

3 It’s Not Just a Delivery Problem Health professions education is highly expensive, inefficient and produces outcomes not aligned with the needs of patients and communities Students learn technical competence, but little about other professions – people they will be expected to collaborate with Many students are not prepared for the realities of caring for patients upon graduation, resulting in costly retraining The National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education is supported by a Health Resources and Services Administration Cooperative Agreement Award No. UE5HP The National Center is also funded in part by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. © 2014 Regents of the University of Minnesota, All Rights Reserved

6 Amina’s Current Realities She doesn’t check her blood glucose regularly and rations insulin to save money She is challenged to find caregivers that accept Medicaid and relies on a local clinic Language barriers prevent her from keeping and making her clinic appointments The clinic has limited hours, which means she uses the emergency department for routine care She puts the care of her family first and her health second The National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education is supported by a Health Resources and Services Administration Cooperative Agreement Award No. UE5HP The National Center is also funded in part by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. © 2014 Regents of the University of Minnesota, All Rights Reserved

7 What Happens When Amina Visits the Clinic? Her appointments are poorly coordinated so an interpreter is not always available She interacts with unfamiliar providers – including students – who ask her the same questions Clinic staff are busy managing the requirements for students from different health disciplines so they can’t focus solely on patient care Many students arrive at the clinic unprepared to help treat a patient like Amina Without better collaboration between health care delivery systems and health professions education, this is the best care Amina is likely to find The National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education is supported by a Health Resources and Services Administration Cooperative Agreement Award No. UE5HP The National Center is also funded in part by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. © 2014 Regents of the University of Minnesota, All Rights Reserved
