Background: Although primary care physicians are increasingly interested in adopting electronic medical record (EMR) systems, few use such systems in practice. This study explores the organizational impact of an EMR system on community-based practices that have overcome the initial barriers and are experienced EMR users. Methods: Five primary care practices that are members of a national research network participated in this study. Using qualitative methods, including semistructured interviews and observations, we assessed the impact of an EMR system on the work lives of various user groups. Results: Physicians and staff indicated that the EMR system has changed not only how they manage patient records but also how they communicate with each other, provide patient care services, and perform job responsibilities. The EMR is also perceived by its users to have an impact on practice costs. Although in most practices physicians and staff were unaware of actual expenses and cost savings associated with the EMR, those in practices that have eliminated duplicate paper-based systems believe they have realized cost savings. Conclusions: Several important themes emerged. The organizational context in which the system is implemented is important. Effective leadership, the presence of a system champion, availability of technical training and support, and adequate resources are essential elements to the success of the EMR.

Health professionals must learn to work in the context of an interdisciplinary team in order to meet the needs of the evolving health care delivery system. These teams must work successfully with community systems to achieve common goals, while understanding and respecting diverse perspectives, experiences and skills. Strategies for changing health professions education to prepare new health professionals for such work have been tested by the Interdisciplinary Professional Education Collaborative. Illustrations of making educational change, and creating situations to sustain the change, are offered from the Collaboratives experience. Teams participating in the Collaborative engaged in interprofessional education, working on community-based health improvement issues. The illustrations are offered in the context of higher education, and the many barriers to making change that must be overcome. The work of the Collaborative provides valuable illustrations of successful activities to promote and create change, and ultimately to achieve improvement and interprofessional learning, better preparing new health professionals for the health systems in which they will work.

Abstract Interprofessional education is becoming more popular in higher education and service-learning has been a successful method to facilitate experiences that foster teamwork between professions. This report shares the results from an interprofessional service-learning project (ISLP) targeting students across eight disciplines (physician assistant, medicine, pharmacy, dietetic internship, physical therapy, master in health administration, nursing and biomedical science). The project used an existing resource, the South Carolina Area Health Education Consortium (SC-AHEC), to coordinate student learning across multiple regions and an established health promotion program curriculum for student outreach content. Participating students (n = 149) were evaluated to determine how the activity affected student appreciation and knowledge of their own and other professions, their interaction with other professional students, and student teamwork skills. Students found the most value in learning with students from other professions as part of the activity with lesser value placed on students increasing their knowledge about their profession’s role in interprofessional work.
