3. Interprofessional Practice There are three aspects of interprofessional practice that can be used to describe a service delivery team collaboration. 1.Team Approach 2.Team Management Structure 3.Team Processes “Building and sustaining training in WA”

4. 1. Team Approach The team approach in place in a service delivery team should be responsive to the complexity of the client’s needs. Coordination: Team members talk and provide each other with necessary information Cooperation: Team members negotiate and plan to minimize duplication/ensure resource efficiency Collaboration: Team members interact, negotiate and jointly work with each other. Adapted from World Health Organisation (2010) Framework for Action on Interprofessional Education & Collaborative Practice, Health Professions Network Nursing & Midwifery Chair, Geneva Accessed here 19/5/15here “Building and sustaining training in WA”

5. Team approach reflects resource use based on a ‘sliding scale’ of client need for collaboration “Building and sustaining training in WA” Of the 17 teams surveyed in the WA CTN study: Fifteen (15) felt that the collaboration description best described the MAIN approach of their team. However, 12 considered that all three team approaches were applied according to the particular needs of the clients. Teams described that the three team approaches were in operation at any one time as a ‘sliding scale’ depending on the needs, complexity and circumstances of the client. Do your team’s clients’ needs range from simple to complex? Or are they all complex and needing total collaboration for each case? Collaboration Cooperation Coordination More

7. 2. Team Management Structure Teams operate at one of three different levels of management structure. Sustainability of the interprofessional model increases as teams develop type three structures. Type One – a spirit of cooperation that is personally driven Type Two – proactive processes and agreements although informal (not strategically planned) Type Three – systematic process and written agreements supporting teamwork Adapted from the PROSE-model in Vyt, A. (2008) Interprofessional and transdisciplinary teamwork in health care. Diabetes/ Metabolism Research and Reviews Vol 24. Accessed 15/8/14 “Building and sustaining training in WA”

8. 3. Team Processes Team processes are driven by the team approach needed by clients and supported by the type of management structure in place. Processes supporting collaboration commonly described by interprofessional teams include: Meetings Clinical planning meetings with or without client involvement Planning/improvement meetings to enhance the team functioning Holistic protocols Assessments e.g. Subacute Rehabilitation tool, SAFER Treatment pathways Specified Roles Key worker/Coordinator roles Communication & Structures Coordinated notes Central appointments “Building and sustaining training in WA”

12. Midwest Sub-Acute Care Interprofessional Learning (SAC IPL) Program One team professional undertakes a holistic assessment of the client from a single entry point referral process, exploring client goals and assessing the need for other health professionals/services. This clinician undertakes case management, care coordination, and treatment (in collaboration with other professionals as needed) for the client. The team collaborates and discusses client goals and client care during weekly multidisciplinary team meetings, as well as engaging in regular team in-services for continual upskilling across all professional areas of knowledge. The team focuses on the client’s goal/ desired outcomes, not a profession specific goal. The complexity of a client’s needs dictates the level of interprofessional collaboration that occurs. “Building and sustaining training in WA” More

13. Women and Newborn Drug and Alcohol Service (WANDAS) WANDAS provides high quality care with a committed team that shares different insights to ensure “wrap around care for both mother and baby”. The result is improved outcomes for both mother and baby. The team approach supports team members being able to debrief and to be kept safe in their delivery of services. WANDAS initiates involvement with the mother as early in the pregnancy as possible, and follow up continues to six months after the birth of the child. WANDAS routinely cares for women with highly complex medical, social and psychiatric conditions, and services all require a collaborative focus on the needs of the mother and baby. “Building and sustaining training in WA” More
