| Scientific title | Enhancing the effectiveness of interprofessional team working: a multicentre non-randomised interventional process of care trial |
| Study acronym | EEICC |
| Study objectives | Working together in teams is suggested to be the most effective way of caring for older people in the community. However, there is little information on the best way of organising these teams, or how team working impacts on the health, quality or costs of this care. We propose to identify the key features of good team working by undertaking further analysis of data collected in a previous study funded by the SDO, and by reviewing the literature published on this topic. The findings will be used to develop an Interprofessional Management Tool (IMT). The IMT will be used by teams to assess their strengths and weaknesses around team working in order to improve their service. We will involve staff and services in the development of the IMT to ensure that it is user-friendly and meets their needs. Central to this project is our desire to demonstrate effective and practical ways of helping teams introduce changes to their ways of working. We will do this by incorporating knowledge from other studies that have looked at the best ways of introducing change to working practices. We will test the effectiveness of the IMT by working closely with 10 community-based teams who will implement the IMT. We will monitor the approach to team working in these teams over 15 months and assess changes in health outcomes of patients, staff satisfaction, and costs. |

| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Topic: Generic Health Relevance and Cross Cutting Themes, Primary Care Research Network for England; Subtopic: Not Assigned, Generic Health Relevance (all Subtopics); Disease: All Diseases, Age and ageing |
| Intervention | The intervention involves the implementation of an interprofessional teamworking approach with the participating teams, using an action research approach. Each team participates in an initial 'Search Evaluation Conference' followed by 3 action learning events, and a final dissemination event. |
| Intervention type | Other |
| Primary outcome measure | 1. Change in EQ-ED, measured at admission and discharge, or within 3 months of admission (whichever is sooner) 2. Change in patient Therapy Outcome Measure (Activity domain), measured at admission and discharge, or within 3 months of admission (whichever is sooner) |
| Secondary outcome measures | Service outcomes: 1. Costs: calculated for each service at the end of the study period Staff outcomes: 2. Workforce Dynamics Questionnaire (staff satisfaction, intention to leave, professional autonomy), measured at month 3 (prior to the intervention) and month 9 (following the completion of the intervention) |
