NTF Standards Related to IPE

From the National Task Force on Quality Nurse Practitioner Education (NTF):

NTF Criterion III.F: The NP curriculum includes interprofessional educational experiences (IPE).

Required Evidence:

  • Curriculum plan that demonstrates how the program prepares graduates with nationally recognized interprofessional (IP) education competencies.
  • Curriculum plan that includes NP students’ didactic and/or clinical experiences with other health professions students.
  • Student logs, reflections, and evaluation of learning experiences that demonstrate integration of IP experiences or documentation of IP scholarly work.

“The second influence is the inclusion of interprofessional education (IPE) in NP educational programs. The NTF agrees that IPE experiences are essential for preparing NPs for interprofessional practice (IP). The NTFS states that all NP students have IPE clinical experiences.”

AACN Essentials Related to IPE

Essentials from the American Association of Colleges of Nursing

AACN Essentials Domain 6:
Domain 6: Interprofessional Partnerships
Descriptor: Intentional collaboration across professions and with care team members, patients, families, communities, and other stakeholders to optimize care, enhance the healthcare experience, and strengthen outcomes.
Contextual Statement: Professional partnerships that include interprofessional,
intraprofessional, and paraprofessional partnerships, build on a consistent demonstration of core professional values (altruism, excellence, caring, ethics, respect, communication, and shared accountability) in the provision of team-based, person-centered care.

Nursing knowledge and expertise uniquely contributes to the intentional work within teams and in concert with patient, family, and community preferences and goals. Interprofessional partnerships require a coordinated, integrated, and collaborative implementation of the unique knowledge, beliefs, and skills of the full team for the end purpose of optimized care delivery.

Effective collaboration requires an understanding of team dynamics and an ability to work effectively in care-oriented teams. Leadership of the team varies depending on needs of the individual, community, population, and context of care.
