The iPACE model (Interprofessional Partnership to Advance Care and Education) is an interprofessional approach to healthcare that focuses on teamwork and patient-centered care.
iPACE brings together doctors, nurses, and other healthcare team members at the bedside to create more effective systems for communication and care. Using systems engineering principles, the iPACE model allows teams to co-design individualized interprofessional bedside rounding models through a flexible and adaptive design process.
iPACE began with support from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) through a Pursuing Excellence in Innovation grant. Support from the American Medical Association (AMA) Reimagining Residency program then allowed model expansion and adaptation.
The iPACE model can be summarized by its key principles: one team, one round, one message. Utilizing the iPACE model, teams can work together to provide care that is coordinated, clear, and focused on the patient and family.
