learn the key terminology for interprofessional care
Flashcards
These flashcards represent a list of key terms that are widely
adopted by health care providers, educators, and administrators
who implement interprofessional education/care initiatives in
academic and health care delivery settings.
In order to avoid confusion, and to remove language barriers, it
is important for all members of an interprofessional initiative/
intervention to understand these terms.
Even though each term may have several different definitions,
the Education 2 Practice team chose definitions that most closely
related to the successful integration of collaborative learning and
care principles into health care delivery and education.
