“…Board Certification is expected of all physicians in hospital settings, and, if ACOs will be based upon hospital-professional staff structures, then credentialing, to "be on staff of the (institutional) health care setting of tomorrow, will be based on board certification of its high level providers (Rozensky, 2006(Rozensky, , 2010(Rozensky, , 2011. Rozensky (2012) noted that today's health care system will look toward, "enhanced accountability including explicit credentialing of providers; credentialing that will require graduation from accredited education programs and with an increasing expectation of specialty hoard certification" (p. 8).…”

and its impact on the evolving health care system, this article will focus on 4 hroad domains of change that the education and training community in psychology must address to ensure that the next generations of health service psychologists are prepared to not just succeed, but lead those changes in health care. Interprofessionalism, workforce analysis and development (including practice settings), finances (reimhursement, health care cost offset, and advocacy), and professional accountability (including accreditation, competency, evidence-based care, specialization, identity and self-definition, and autonomy) will be discussed. Each domain reflects demands for both affordable care and enhanced accountability in the developing health care system. Recommendations for curricular content and clinical training modifications are offered.

“…One of the most transformative aspects of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is the call for an increase in interprofessional collaboration, the process by which care providers from different disciplines collaboratively develop cohesive and comprehensive care plans [1,2]. Relatedly, the American Academy of Pediatrics has endorsed a "medical home" model, highlighting the importance of comprehensive and coordinated care of the "whole child" as well as easy access to services that meet both children's and families' medical and psychosocial needs.…”

Interprofessional care including psychologists has been shown to be effective for both primary and subspecialty integrated care. However, providers of behavioral health are infrequently included in studies of interprofessional collaborative practice. The current study explores the activities and perceptions related to interprofessional care of 13 psychologists involved in 19 different interprofessional teams within one institution. To fully explore relevant issues and examine barriers and facilitators to interprofessional teamwork in a systematic and comprehensive fashion, a mixed-method analytic design was used. Quantitative data were collected via survey. Qualitative data obtained by structured interviews were coded for critical themes using grounded theory. Pediatric psychologists working on interprofessional teams were generally satisfied with their experiences. Key facilitators included being valued on the team and using standardized assessments. Barriers centered on financial issues such as scheduling issues impeding billable activity. Based on these findings, we provide a number of recommendations on maximizing clinical care, optimizing the role within the interprofessional team and meeting professional responsibilities.

“…Over the last two years, the importance of IPE and collaboration to the future of psychology within the health sector has been highlighted. Psychologists are in danger of being excluded from health care reform initiatives that are emphasising integrated patient care if they continue to work within silos (Cubic, Mance, Turgesen & Lammana, 2012;Rozensky 2011;2012). Rozensky (2011) noted that future involvement in IPE and practice may necessitate financial, regulatory and philosophical changes for psychologists, including a reconcepualisation of 'clients' as 'patients'.…”

Interprofessional education for first year psychology students: career plans, perceived relevance and attitudes

Undergraduate psychology students have been largely excluded from interprofessional\ud education (IPE) initiatives. In contrast to many health professions, undergraduate psychology\ud students do not engage in work placements as part of their degree, and many enter careers\ud outside the health care context. However, the collaborative skills gained through an IPE\ud experience may well be beneficial to students who work in this wider context. This research\ud examines whether undergraduate psychology students’ views of IPE vary according to their\ud planned career directions, and if so, whether the perceived relevance of IPE mediates the\ud relationships. A sample of 188 Australian university undergraduate psychology students\ud completed an online questionnaire following completion of a first-year IPE health sciences\ud program. Path analysis indicated that psychology students’ attitudes towards IPE are associated\ud with both professional identification and practitioner orientation, fully mediated through the\ud perceived relevance of IPE to future career and study plans. Stronger professional identification\ud and practitioner orientation were associated with greater perceived relevance and more\ud positive and less negative attitudes towards IPE. Placing a stronger emphasis on the\ud generalizability of IP skills taught may increase students’ awareness of the relevance outside of\ud the health context, reducing disengagement of students planning alternative careers
