Abstract
Interprofessional primary care providers play a central role in delivering palliative care, although it remains challenging to implement. We evaluated a virtual interprofessional education program called CAPACITI, aiming to increase early identification of palliative care needs in the context of interprofessional primary care teams. A three-module two-arm version of CAPACITI was delivered in a randomized controlled trial, with teams assigned to either a self-directed or facilitated learning arm. Participants completed surveys before and after each module, including the Assessment of Interprofessional Team Collaboration Scale-II (AITCS-II). The pre-intervention survey also included the Organizational Readiness to Change Assessment (ORCA) measure. Descriptive statistics, paired t-tests, and generalized linear models were conducted. Of the 566 enrolled, 380 (67.1%) completed Module 1, 274 (48.4%) completed Module 2, 202 (35.7%) completed Module 3, and 192 (33.9%) completed all three modules. AITCS-II scores improved significantly (p < .001) following CAPACTI, with no difference between self-directed and facilitated groups for any module. Participants with lower ORCA scores at baseline experienced greatest improvement in team collaboration. CAPACITI demonstrates promise as an effective and scalable intervention to enhance interprofessional collaboration in palliative primary care. These findings support the integration of virtual team-based training as a strategy to strengthen collaborative care across primary care settings.
