One of our challenge, is to involve the health services managers as facilitators of the educational process and development of their team.
The permanent education in the health systems must involve the managers.
if you look into the process of "inter-professional education", the health service manager could be involved as student, instructor, guest speakers or a supporting staff member
To clarify your question, do you mean getting them to buy into the educational mission of an institution, buying into the continuing education of their team, or them becoming educators themselves?
Thank you Kent. You show me important aspects. I mean both situations, or in fact the three possibilities. One is the manager understands the education as a permanent process that involves all team, as well as the Institution. FinallyI discuss this thinking that the manager also need to be educated.
Whether the professionals are health service managers or case mangers the involvement of case management and utilizing core components such as mentoring and preceptor ships programs could prove to be highly success.
Alva, Canada has made progress in teamwork concerning healthcare managers with respect to clinical applications, stakeholders, and policy development. They formed an organization that addresses key issues in 2006 entitled, Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative. Their website is www.cihc.ca. Attached, please find a link to a review concerning teamwork and healthcare managers. I hope you find this useful for ideas to develop educational opportunities for healthcare managers.
