To prepare future healthcare professionals to collaborate effectively, many universities have developed interprofessional education programs (IPE). Till date, these programs have been mostly courses or clinical simulation experiences. Few attempts have been made to pursue IPE in healthcare clinical settings. This article presents the results of a p...
Background: Integrating Nurse Practitioners into primary care teams is a process that involves significant
challenges. To be successful, nurse practitioner integration into primary care teams requires, among other things, a redefinition of professional boundaries, in particular those of medicine and nursing, a coherent model of inter- and intra- pr...
Role clarity is a crucial issue for effective interprofessional collaboration. Poorly defined roles can become a source of conflict in clinical teams and reduce the effectiveness of care and services delivered to the population. Our objective in this paper is to outline processes for clarifying professional roles when a new role is introduced into...
Université de Montréal implemented an interprofessional education (IPE) curriculum on collaborative practice in a large cohort of students (>1,100) from 10 health sciences and psychosocial sciences training programs. It is made up of three one-credit undergraduate courses (CSS1900, CSS2900, CSS3900) spanning the first 3 years of training. The cours...
Despite the critical role of nursing care in determining high-performing healthcare delivery, performance science in this area is still at an early stage of development and nursing's contribution most often remains invisible to policy-makers and managers. The objectives of this study were: 1) to develop a theoretically based framework to conceptual...
Type 2 diabetes is a complex chronic disease that requires ongoing monitoring by an interprofessional team to prevent complications. The INMED (INterprofessional Management and Education in Diabetes) care pathway was developed by our team to optimize primary care services for these patients and their families. The objective of this study is to desc...
To develop collaborative competencies of future health and social services professionals, the Université de Montréal (UdeM) offers interprofessional education (IPE) in partnership with patients. To meet the challenges of IPE, UdeM turned to digital tools to enable interprofessional teams of students to collaborate online and face-to-face. The colla...
With the current interest in interprofessional collaboration in health care as a response to ever-increasing complexity of health issues and scarcity of resources, many higher education institutions are developing interprofessional education (IPE) programs. However, there has been little empirical work on what. With the current interest for interpr...
This poster presents the results of a pilot project carried out by the Interfaculty Operational Committee for training on Collaborative Practice in Partnership with Patient at Université de Montréal for CSS courses (Collaboration en Sciences Santé). The objective was to determine whether the integration of patient partners in a virtual collaborativ...
Presenting the results of a Systematic Review "Comparing interprofessional and interorganizational collaboration in healthcare: A systematic review of the qualitative research"
A research project brought together patient partners, nurse leaders from six clinical settings in Quebec and researchers to develop and test a web technology, the Forum for Knowledge Exchange (FKE), in order to improve discharge planning practices and oncological care transitions. The project led to the creation of a FKE accessible to the oncology...
Résumé
Problématique
Des soins palliatifs peuvent être offerts sur des unités de soins curatifs en milieu hospitalier. Dans ce contexte de soins mixtes, Fillion et Saint-Laurent rapportent que les stresseurs organisationnels (conditions de travail difficiles, manque de reconnaissance et de soutien) peuvent nuire à la qualité et à la sécurité des s...
Purpose:
Nurses are identified as a key provider in the management of patients in primary care. The objective of this study was to evaluate patients' experience of care in primary care as it pertained to the nursing role. The aim was to test the hypothesis that, in primary health care organizations (PHCOs) where patients are systematically followe...
Background:
Interprofessional and interorganizational collaboration have become important components of a well-functioning healthcare system, all the more so given limited financial resources, aging populations, and comorbid chronic diseases. The nursing role in working alongside other healthcare professionals is critical. By their leadership, nur...
Aims:
A discussion of an optimal set of indicators that can be used on a priority basis to assess the performance of nursing care.
Background:
Recent advances in conceptualization of nursing care performance, exemplified by the Nursing Care Performance Framework, have revealed a broad universe of potentially nursing-sensitive indicators. Organiz...

A strong and effective primary care capacity has been demonstrated to be crucial for controlling costs, improving outcomes, and ultimately enhancing the performance and sustainability of healthcare systems. However, current challenges are such that the future of primary care is unlikely to be an extension of the current dominant model. Profound env...
Partnering with patients is an urgent imperative for transforming the health care system to one that is focused on building a culture of health. Data supports this call by demonstrating positive impacts of patient engagement on health outcomes in different settings (CFHI, 2014; IOM, 2014). To respond to this growing trend, health care providers (HC...
Despite numerous Quebec initiatives to improve transitional care for patients with chronic diseases such as cancer, clinical teams and patients still encounter some difficulties during these transitions. This article presents a review of the literature on the involvement of clinical teams and patient-as-partners in the changes made to clinical prac...
Introduction:
The overall aim of this project is to help develop knowledge about primary care delivery models likely to improve the accessibility, quality and efficiency of care. Operationally, this objective will be achieved through supporting and evaluating 8 primary care team pilot sites that rely on an expanded nursing role within a more inten...

Purpose:
Introducing change is a difficult issue facing all health care systems. The use of various clinical governance levers can facilitate change in health care systems. The purpose of this paper is to define clinical governance levers, and to illustrate their use in a large-scale transformation.
Design/methodology/approach:
The empirical ana...

During their careers, nurses in all fields of the health care systems are likely to experience a period of moral distress at some point during their career. Moral distress has both short and long-terms consequences for the health care system, for the nurses' health as well as for the quality and safety of patient care. The actions to prevent moral...

The overall aim of this project is to help develop knowledge about
primary care delivery models likely to improve the accessibility, quality and efficiency of care.
Operationally, this objective will be achieved through supporting and evaluating 8 primary
care team pilot sites that rely on an expanded nursing role within a more intensive team-
based, interdisciplinary setting.
