debrief (def)

Feedback session after an event or shift to assist in improving team performance

In class we discussed benefits of inteprofessional education and practice. In your readings/videos this week we discussed the skills or competencies needed to provide interprofessional team-based care. Videos also provided examples of interprofessional collaboration and what happens when interprofessional care is lacking. Considering this, list one barrier you perceive to interprofessional practice (IPP). Your response need only be a few words or a sentence, but should be no more 1 full sentence.

One barrier I perceive in interprofessional practice is team awareness because in the video I noticed some healthcare professionals overstepping and apologizing for someone else's action when that isn't their job or when the doctor was talking about a medication that the pharmacist probably knows more about.
