At the conclusion of this session, the participants will be able to: 1. Describe a team-based approach to addressing complex patients’ needs. 2. Develop engaged and experiential methods for teaching interprofessional learners about team-care for complex patients. 3. Demonstrate familiarity with an evaluation strategy and preliminary outcomes data for a team approach for complex patients.

This presentation will feature real world implementation examples from a seasoned interprofessional team working in a high needs primary care clinic. In Part 1 of our session (approx. 30 minutes), we will define implementation science and familiarize the audience with the EPIS framework (Aarons, Hurlburt, & Horwitz, 2011). We will also describe champion teams as a practical and efficient way to conduct implementation science on the clinic level. Part 2 of our session (approx. 30 min) will be dedicated to translating concepts learned in Part 1 to audience members' personal work via individual worksheets, small and large group discussion, and a question and answer period. Additionally, participants will gain access to an electronic toolkit with relevant articles, worksheets and materials to and build on ideas generated during the session and support their project implementation after the conference.

"Practice transformation" toward team care as a singular undertaking can be daunting. In this presentation, we describe the development of a mechanism for small, iterative and sustainable practice changes toward team care known as "Champion Teams." Champion Teams are based on the Institute of Medicine's "learning health care system" approach in which practitioners develop an internal mechanism for and culture around digesting and implementing new evidence based practices on an ongoing basis. In addition to presenting the Champion Team concept as a strategy for implementing new team care initiatives, interprofessional providers will present two case examples from each adult and pediatric primary care. At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will be able to: Define the term "learning healthcare system" and its application to Champion Teams. Describe the utility of and keys to implementing Champion Teams. Describe two examples of Champion Teams and the application of this mechanism to making data-informed changes toward team-based care in their own setting.

Interprofessional education (IPE) is, in some cases, a genuine effort to improve health professions training programs and in others, a "box that must be checked" for program accreditation. The types of training and trainees involved in IPE initiatives are wide-ranging, and efforts to articulate measurable competencies for different developmental levels and disciplines are in their infancy. Still, leaders in IPE have indicated that just as the evolving healthcare system is putting new training demands on academic health centers/health professionals training programs to teach team care, strong IPE programs can fuel and empower the health care industry. In this session, a panel of IPE leaders from a range of professional backgrounds (nursing, pharmacy, medicine, psychology) answer essential questions about the evolution and trajectory of IPE as a catalyst for improved health care. Describe the current tensions in the academic environment around IPE programming. Identify crucial "next steps" for IPE programs in better fitting with health care evolution. Discuss how IPE could, if empowered to do so, fuel an even stronger team care capacity within health care.

Bakgrund Endokardit är dagsläget en relativt sällsynt infektionssjukdom som drabbar hjärtat och framförallt hjärtklaffarna. I Sverige drabbas årligen cirka 500 personer och överlevnaden med adekvat behandling ligger på cirka 80-90%. Endokardit är ett komplext sjukdomstillstånd med ofta kräver expertis från många olika specialister. Vårdtiden är lång och inte sällan med olika former av komplikationer som följd. Syftet med studien var att beskriva omvårdnaden av patienter med endokardit från ett sjuksköterskeperspektiv.Metoden som användes var en kvalitativ metod med beskrivande design. Intervjuer med strategiskt ändamålsurval som använt sig av inklusions- och exklusions kriterier har genomförts. Sex sjuksköterskor från olika bakgrund, kön och arbetsplatser deltog i studien. Datan som framkom analyserades genom manifest innehållsanalys med till viss del latenta inslag.Resultatet visar informanternas beskrivning av omvårdnad kring patienter med endokardit ur ett sjuksköterskeperspektiv. Detta ses i resultatets tre huvud kategorier: Patientens förutsättningar, organisationens förutsättningar, sjuksköterskans förutsättningar. Alla kategorierna påvisar hur komplex omvårdnad kring denna patientgrupp är utifrån ett sjuksköterskeperspektiv. Slutsats av studien visar att begreppet omvårdnad är ett svårtolkat begrepp även för erfarna sjuksköterskor. Patienter med ett tidigare missbruk är en speciellt sårbar grupp att hantera, där behöver arbetet ske med tanke på deras missbruk samtidigt som behandlingen av endokardit fortgår. Hur väl omvårdnadsmässigt infektionsavdelningar i Mellansverige tar hand om och behandlar patienter med endokardit beror till stor del på vilka resurser sjukhuset har samt hur stor erfarenhet de sjuksköterskor som arbetar där har av att vårda patienter med endokardit. / Background endocarditis is a relatively uncommon diagnosis compared to other infectious diseases. Endocarditis affects the heart muscle but is mainly situated in the heart valves. In Sweden today about 500 persons are affected annually, with adequate treatment and care the survival rate is high within 80-90% of all cases. Endocarditis is a complex disease that requires treatment and care from multiple specialists, the time spent in hospital is long compared to other diseases and is often prolonged by complications of the treatment.The Aim of the study was to describe the caring of patients with endocarditis from a nurse’s perspective.The method used was a qualitative analysis using descriptive design, with the use of strategic purposeful sampling with help of inclusion and exclusions criterias. Six Nurses from different backgrounds, genders and workplaces participated in the interview study. The data analysis was conducted using manifest content analysis with some grade of latent analysis included.The Result showed how the informants of the study described caring for patients with endocarditis from a nurses point of view. This is explained by the three major categories: Patients conditions, The Organisations prerequisite and the Nursing staffs experienced and educational level. They all tell about the complexity of caring for patients with endocarditis.The Conclusion of the study showed that Nursing care and the term caring itself are terms that are somewhat hard to grasp because of their wide meaning in the Nursing community. Patients with predeveloped addiction to some sort of drug is a special group of patients to handle, especially when they are infected by endocarditis. Since they have to be cared for in their addiction as well as their infection. How well nurses on infections wards in Sweden care for patients affected by endocarditis depends a lot on what other resources the hospital has and on the experienced level of the nurses working there.

For too many of us, the implications of a worldwide pandemic unfolded in graduated stages of understanding that seemed too sluggish for the opponent we faced. For too many of us, even those of us in health care, the unfolding was terrifying; we felt blindsided and unprepared. If coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) were a bully picking a fight, they got the first punch in before we even raised a fist. Now, many rounds in, health care teams will have an opportunity to deploy a new weapon against COVID-19. Vaccines are coming. We do not know when, who will pay for them, or the logistical aspects (e.g., storage and administration). We do not even know how effective they will be. Moreover, we must plan for mass vaccination in a chaotic and politically charged context that bears little resemblance to the ones with which we have experience. Nevertheless, in this fight, vaccines could be our winning blow. We are getting better at working with unknowns and in disrupted environments during COVID-19. We have some time to prepare, and we have some extant knowledge and experience in vaccine distribution and uptake. Health care teams can use these to best their adversary, and we can and should begin now. The aim of this article is to discuss how to mobilize interprofessional teams within systems of care to engage best practices in vaccine dissemination and uptake in the unique COVID-19 context. We begin by discussing challenges to dissemination and uptake and then provide solutions using our experiences in the primary care system.
