The Clarion Interprofessional Team Case Competition, sponsored by the University of Minnesota, is an annual contest to promote an interdisciplinary approach to training health care professionals in ways to improve the quality of patient care. Medical, nursing, pharmacy, and health administration students meet together during free time to better understand the skills that each member of the team brings to the care of patients. For their capstone experience, interprofessional student teams analyze a hypothetical case scenario that highlights less than optimal care, then propose quality improvement recommendations for system changes to prevent future events using a multidisciplinary approach.
On April 8, 2005, Clarion hosted the first national case competition by teams of health professions students from academic medical centers throughout the country. Each of seven teams presented its analysis of a sentinel event using a standardized protocol followed by strategies designed to avoid such events in the future.
The team from the University of Missouri-Columbia, with the support of the University's Center for Health Care Quality, was the first place winner. Recommendations grounded in the current literature and a “real world” based root cause analysis were among the factors that determined the winner.
