Patient Bedside Boards
Above each patient bed a whiteboard has been installed to facilitate interprofessional communication with patients and families. Each board features the patient’s name, their activities of daily living and the names of the interprofessional team members and students who are working with them in their care.

Patient Scheduling Board
The Patient Scheduling Board is located across from the unit desk and is used as an interprofessional scheduling tool. On the board, each patient is identified along with the name of each of their therapists. The board tracks the patient’s therapy schedules and appointment times, and serves as a quick reference for team and family members to identify the schedule and location of the patient

Stroke Program Interprofessional Team Board
The Stroke Interprofessional Team is large and complex. To increase awareness and foster the unit community, the Stroke Program Interprofessional Team Board has pictures of all of the interprofessional team members and students.

Interprofessional Resource Binder
The Resource Binder is a tool for staff and students on the 3A team that contains resources pertaining to interprofessional practice, communication/collaboration and team work. The binder also includes information about stroke specific resources and provides a guide to obtaining resources specific to each profession working on the unit.

Interprofessional Appraisal for Student Clinicians - 360° Evaluation
The Interprofessional Appraisal for Student Clinicians is designed to provide meaningful feedback and documentation of interprofessional growth during clinical placements. The philosophy of the appraisal model is one of student self-reflection and individual development. This is combined with supportive information from the instructor/preceptor and other stroke team members to provide a balanced, holistic view of the student’s individual and team functioning with the interprofessional team.
