| Résumé: | Medication incidents are the second most common type of incident reported in Australian hospitals. Communication errors have been identified as the primary issue in the majority of medication errors, adverse reactions, and near-misses. While IPE is critical for preparing nursing, pharmacy and medical students for their roles in the medication team, in Australia this approach is seldom used for teaching the communication skills inherent in medication safety. Against this background we have designed a project that will: 1. Examine the needs of nursing, pharmacy and medical programs in relation to the integration of IPE and medication safety into curricula. 2. Develop and implement a range of multimedia resources that will enhance students' communication skills and promote medication safety. 3. Examine the impact of the teaching and learning resources on students' communication competence, knowledge acquisition, changes in attitudes toward interdisciplinary co-operation, and satisfaction with the learning experience. 4. Examine the feasibility of IPE when used for teaching medication safety. |
