Abstract
This chapter provides a very different ‘glimpse’ of a future for health care education, healthcare delivery/practice and future science driven by technology. While current education systems for interprofessional education (IPE) have grown and are consistently improving, the rapidly changing environment calls for different models of both care and education in the future. This chapter highlights the Multi-Interprofessional Center for Health Informatics’s pioneering vision at The University of Texas at Arlington for a multi-interprofessional model of education to prepare for this rapidly changing future. This future promises: (1) more person/patient-driven use and integration of mobile health devices; (2) increased telehealth and other tele-driven interventions (including health coaching); (3) positive impact of Artificial-Intelligence (A.I.); (4) attention to cost and cost-savings for individuals, businesses and healthcare organizations; and as always (5) impact on outcomes and satisfaction of personal, profession and system interventions. In a healthcare delivery environment that is increasingly driven by the interface of person/patient, provider and technology at the individual, group/community and system(s) level, it is important to plan for these changes in educational systems. Consequently, the authors of this chapter identify a need for and propose a new multi-interprofessional system of education which will provide the ground-work for a more complex multi-interprofessionally driven healthcare delivery system in the future.
