Patient experience in an interprofessional collaborative practice for underserved patients with heart failure
Heart failure is a complex chronic condition that results in multiple patient visits throughout the care continuum. Patient experience has associations with clinical outcomes. The purpose of this study was to examine patient experience among the underserved in a specialized interprofessional collaborative practice heart failure clinic. This prospective study utilized both qualitative and quantitative data to describe the patient experience within an interprofessional collaborative practice. Data were collected from patient experience surveys in 1128 patients seen in the Heart Failure Transitional Care Services for Adults (HRTSA) clinic between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2021. Interprofessional collaborative practice surveys were completed by clinic staff members. When examining relationships associated with patient experience, we found three significant associations. Being single was negatively associated with patient experience. When examining IPCP and patient experience, overall interprofessional collaborative practice alignment [t(237)=2.00, p=.046 ] and the team’s alignment of mission, vision and purpose [t(254)=1.99, p=.047] were positively related to patients’ care satisfaction. Interprofessional collaborative practice team alignment can positively impact patient experience in underserved patients with heart failure.
