Preserving the History and Contributions of Interprofessional Practice and Education
University of Kansas- Teri Kennedy, Ida Johnson Feaster Professor of Interprofessional Practice, Education, Policy, and Research, and Associate Dean, Office of Interprofessional Practice, Education, Policy, and Research, School of Nursing, University of Kansas
Project Description
IPE@KUMC/KU preserves the history and continuing contributions to interprofessional practice and education (IPE) by The University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC) and The University of Kansas (KU) through a podcast series, oral histories, and archival documents to be preserved in collaboration with the Clendening History of Medicine Library and KUMC Archives. IPE is ultimately about social justice. It fosters health and health care equity by eliciting and coalescing the stories and lived experiences of people, families, communities, and interprofessional teams into an affirmative future and prepares current and future health, behavioral health, and social care providers for collaborative, team-based person-, family-, and community-centered practice. IPE advances the Quintuple Aim: better health, better experience of care, better value/lower cost, better work life for providers, and health and health care equity. A free, accessible educational podcast series, oral histories, and digital documents will preserve and share the history of university-community collaborations; best practices and innovations in interprofessional practice, education, policy, research, and theory; contributions to promoting health and health equity in Kansas and the region; and influence on advancing IPE nationally and globally.
