Using the Innovations Exchange To Develop Health Professional Competencies

On September 18, 2013, the Innovations Exchange held a Web event titled Using the Innovations Exchange To Develop Health Professional Competencies.

This event featured an in-depth dialogue about how the Innovations Exchange’s rich collection of novel health care practices and tools is being used to develop competencies for nurses and interdisciplinary teams. The Innovations Exchange is relevant for all levels of inter-professional education including baccalaureate level, graduate level education, and professional development, and can help to address a variety of practical and theoretical goals, including the following:

  • Familiarizing health care professionals with concrete approaches to transforming health care delivery in accordance with the goals of the Institute of Medicine, the National Quality Strategy and the Affordable Care Act
  • Using case studies of innovation practices to examine how health care organizations adopt and adapt service delivery and policy innovations to solve local problems
  • Using case studies of innovations as part of a curriculum focused on improvement and implementation science
