According
to a report released in April 2003 by the Institute of Medicine
(IOM), an expert committee found that doctors, nurses, and
other health professionals are not being adequately prepared
to provide the highest quality and safest medical care possible
and that "education for the health professions is in
need of a major overhaul."
The report,
titled Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality,
calls for all programs that educate and train health professionals
to adopt five core competencies: the abilities to deliver
patient-centered care, work as a member of an interdisciplinary
team, engage in evidence-based practice, apply quality improvement
approaches, and use information technology. The report calls
on accreditation, licensing, and certification organizations
to ensure that students and working professionals develop
and maintain proficiency in these core areas.
