Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Lecture / Presentation Description
Palliative care has been proven to be beneficial for patients with complex and chronic illness yet there is limited research on the ideal way to deliver these services in the outpatient setting. The purpose of this capstone project was to determine how health professionals feel their interprofessional collaboration and dynamic ultimately affect the care provided by a team. Using The Jefferson Scale of Interprofessional Collaboration JeffSTATIC) in combination with open-ended questions, two outpatient palliative care teams were evaluated and compared to determine differences amongst team experiences and the care they felt was delivered by their team. JeffSTATIC has a maximum score of 140 with higher scores indicating a more positive attitude towards interprofessional collaboration. Team B had a collective JeffSTATIC score of 131.6 while Team A had a score of 128.9 indicating Team B more positively views interprofessional collaboration. The free response interviews corroborated this statistical data. Team B reported more favorable team dynamics than Team A and also believed patients received better care due to their collaborative teamwork. Members felt clinic B to be open and collaborative, both qualities deemed as desirable while working intercollaboratively. Team members in both clinics reported barriers to cohesive interprofessional care such as imbalance of power, poor communication, and spatial constraints. In the future, there must be interventions and further training in order to enhance the collaboration amongst team members. As outpatient palliative care becomes more prevalent, these teams will need to adapt and implement changes to best address the complex needs of oncology patients.Presentation: 16:53
