Workflow process mapping to characterize office-based primary care medication use and safety: A conceptual approach
We developed the PCMedSafety conceptual framework to illustrate primary care medication safety practice transformation opportunities. PCMedSafety demonstrates the interrelationship between the practice-level, primary care delivery system; medication workflow processes; and medication use and safety outcomes. This framework was used to conceptualize a workflow process mapping approach to characterize and evaluate the safety of medication-related activities performed in primary care practices.

Development of the RIPE model (Reflective Interprofessional Education Model) to enhance interprofessional collaboration
This paper describes a novel model to providing interprofessional education (IPE) and interprofessional collaboration (IPC) within a simulated healthcare environment, in the higher education setting. The RIPE Model (Reflective Interprofessional Education Model) was developed for the purpose of enhancing IPE and IPC, clinical judgement, and decision-making between health professional students (pharmacy and nursing students) at the patient's simulated hospital bedside.A foundation ‘unfolding’ case utilizing the RIPE model was piloted with first year Master of pharmacy students and postgraduate nursing students at an Aust...
