Communications strategies are central to the planning and execution of interprofessional education (IPE) programs. The diversity of telecommunications-based tools and platforms available for IPE is rapidly expanding. Each tool and platform has a potentially important role to play. The selection, testing, and embedding of tools, such as social networking platforms, within education programs can be very challenging. The goal was to create, in Phoenix, a "command-and-control" video conferencing center (the T-Health Amphitheater or Telehealth Amphitheater) in which tele-consultation patients, located physically at one of the affiliated tele-clinics around the state, could be presented electronically to interprofessional teams of faculty members from the University of Arizona Colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Public Health, as well as those from the allied health colleges of other universities in Arizona, for interprofessional team training in a virtual classroom setting. The T-Health video conferencing facility was designed and built. Early assessments show that its novel learning environment is student- and faculty-friendly. T-Health Amphitheater's pair of innovative visible social networking platforms (eStacks™ and eSwaps™) may help break down some of the traditional communications barriers encountered in healthcare IPE and medical practices.
沟通策略是跨专业教育（IPE）项目规划与实施的核心。可用于IPE的基于电信的工具和平台种类正在迅速增加。每种工具和平台都可能发挥重要作用。在教育项目中选择、测试并融入社交网络平台等工具极具挑战性。目标是在凤凰城创建一个“指挥与控制”视频会议中心（T-健康阶梯教室或远程医疗阶梯教室），身处该州各地附属远程诊所的远程会诊患者能够以电子方式呈现给来自亚利桑那大学医学院、护理学院、药学院和公共卫生学院的跨专业教师团队，以及亚利桑那州其他大学的健康相关学院的教师团队，以便在虚拟课堂环境中进行跨专业团队培训。T-健康视频会议设施已设计并建成。早期评估表明，其新颖的学习环境对学生和教师都很友好。T-健康阶梯教室的一对创新型可视化社交网络平台（eStacks™和eSwaps™）可能有助于打破医疗保健IPE和医疗实践中遇到的一些传统沟通障碍。
