Building Collaborative Care Through the Formation of Organizational Partnerships and Interprofessional Education in Clinical Learning Environments: A Case Study

The purpose of this qualitative case study was to achieve an in-depth understanding of anorganizational partnership, from its inception to implementation, that has contributed to formation of a high-quality interprofessional primary care clinic model within a larger academic health system. The study also sought to detail adaptive leadership behaviors that fostered the transition from co-location to collaboration among frontline leaders within an academic healthcare workforce. Nineteen participants were selected through purposive and snowball sampling to represent the study site’s academic institution, health system, and patient-advocacy committee. In semi-structured reflective interviews and focus groups, these informants shared their perceived roles, responsibilities, and experiences. Documents and artifacts were also reviewed. Analysis and triangulation of revealed four major themes: Leadership, Shared Mission, a Culture of Collaboration, and the Quadruple Aim in the Clinical Learning Environment. The findings resulted in an evidence-informed solution for sustainable and scalable interprofessional education and collaborative practice infrastructure. The solution includes the primary recommendations of creating Interprofessional Clinical Faculty and an Interprofessional Workforce and Workplace Training Curriculum. The findings imply organizational infrastructure supports workplace learning, leading to system-wide innovation in partnership within academic and health systems to meet the shared mission of advancing an interprofessional collaborative academic medical center model.
