Keywords:
Key success factors, Challenges, Interprofessional Education (IPE), Interprofessional practice (IPP)Abstract
Context: The Chao Phya Abhaibhubejhr Medical Education Center has facilitated and
institutionalized Interprofessional Education (IPE) with multi-site collaborations since 2017.
Objectives: To analyze key success factors and challenges according to the readiness in the
implementation of IPE and identify goals, supporting systems and strategies for planning further
development.
Design, Setting and Participants: Focused group discussion and the World Café method were
used as platforms to encourage participants to explore feedback on IPE activities.
Main Outcome Measures: Levels of readiness and IPE outcomes, as defined by the World
Health Organization (WHO), were framed to explore meanings of IPE within critical factors to
pursue IPE among academic health professionals.
Results: Key success factors are motivations, general capacity and innovation-specific capacity
of institutions when conducting IPE activities. Network strengthening, institutional support for
IPE to be encompassed in the curriculum, have been highlighted. Interprofessional practice (IPP)
should be aimed at as a vision and virtue of IPE. Organizations willing to establish IPE strategies
can learn from the experiences from this study.
Conclusion: Motivation, strong network and the goal of IPP are identified as critical success
factors of the IPE implementation.
