This is especially true if you are targeting a community of color or a low income community. In the ., there are significant differences in the way ill health affects different communities. Consider, for example, that on many Indian reservations, over half the population suffers from diabetes. Or that African American children of all income levels are hospitalized for asthma at three times the rate of white children. Consider that Latinos are more likely to be newly diagnosed with HIV infection than white people, but times less likely to be treated with life-prolonging anti-retroviral therapies | ACCP White Păper Interprofessional Education Principles and Application.

FCCP With the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases advancements in health care technology and growing complexity of health care delivery the need for coordination and integration of clinical care through a multidisciplinary approach has become essential. To address this issue the Institute of Medicine has called for a redesign of the health professional education process to provide health care professionals both in the academic setting and in practice the knowledge skills and attitudes to work effectively in a multidisciplinary environment. Such programmatic redesign warrants the implementation of interprofessional education IPE across health care disciplines. Pharmacists play a critical role not only in the provision of patient care on multidisciplinary teams but also in the delivery of IPE. National pharmacy organizations have endorsed IPE and several have articulated specific policies and or initiatives supporting IPE. However IPE has not yet been implemented effectively or consistently moreover the inability to effectively deliver IPE in the classroom and clinic has been correlated with a decrease in the quality of patient care provided. In addition the incorporation of interprofessional patient care into daily practice has been compromised by workforce shortages within respective health care fields. This white paper from the American College of Clinical Pharmacy ACCP addresses terminology levels of evidence environment-specific models assessment methods funding sources and other important implications and barriers as they apply to IPE and clinical pharmacy.
