The Healthcare Consortium of the Clinical Practice Model Resource Center (CPMRC), an Elsevier company, is the 2010 recipient of the National Academies Practice (NAP) Interdisciplinary Group Recognition Award. The NAP award is presented annually to groups that make ‘enduring contributions to interdisciplinary education and practice’. The award recognises CPMRC’s 25-year-old Healthcare Consortium of nearly 300 healthcare organisations for implementing an innovative interdisciplinary professional practice framework across multiple care settings through interdisciplinary teams.
Over the past 25 years, the Consortium has reportedly generated a vast repository of practical and theoretical knowledge on how to address the complexities of healthcare. Members of the Consortium share lessons learned through Partnership Councils, which encourage partnerships across settings and teamwork across disciplines. Consortium Gatherings seek to improve models of care that address interdisciplinary scope of practice, evidence-based practice application and integrated clinical documentation within health information technology. The CPMRC International Conference highlights outcomes produced in the clinical settings of Consortium members.
Members of the nearly 300-member Consortium include large multi-state healthcare systems, university, community and rural settings as well as academic clinical schools.
