Interprofessional collaborative practice is a key requirement for the successful implementation of integrated healthcare models. Current interprofessional education opportunities seldom include medical laboratory technologists who oversee the production of data that informs the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of patients. Errors in the laboratory process mostly occur in the pre-analytical and post-analytical phases, which both involve the need for collaboration between medical laboratory technologists and other healthcare providers. In this article, we introduce and describe an innovative work-integrated virtual learning experience that provides technologists with the opportunity to fully participate in interprofessional education.
跨专业协作实践是成功实施综合医疗保健模式的关键要求。当前的跨专业教育机会很少包括医学实验室技术人员,他们负责生成数据,为患者的诊断、治疗和监测提供信息。实验室过程中的错误主要发生在分析前和分析后阶段,这两个阶段都需要医学实验室技术人员与其他医疗保健提供者进行协作。在本文中,我们介绍并描述了一种创新的工作整合虚拟学习体验,为技术人员提供了充分参与跨专业教育的机会。
