Teambuilding across healthcare professions: the ELDER project.
The key to ensuring quality care for older adults is a nursing workforce that collaborates across professions and provider levels (Wright M.C., Phillips-Bute, B.G., Petrusa, E.R., Griffin, K.L., Hobbs, G.W., & Taekman, J.M. (2008). Assessing teamwork in medical education and practice: Relating behavioural teamwork ratings and clinical performance. Med Teach, 29, 1-9). ⋯ Rarely is a variety of health care disciplines invited to participate in educational opportunities together. The interprofessional small group methodology used is a replicable model with potential to overcome barriers in communication and teamwork skills.

Multicenter Study
Triangulation as a method to create a preliminary model to identify and intervene in intimate partner violence.
This article examines the possibilities offered by the triangulative approach and the challenges using it related to intimate partner violence (IPV) research. The purpose of this descriptive, cross-sectional, multicenter study was to create a preliminary model for identifying women exposed to acute physical IPV seeking care at emergency departments (EDs) and for intervening in the violence. The model is based on the results of previous research and the example study. ⋯ The data were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative methods. The advantage of the triangulative approach is that it provides a view of the phenomenon in a variety of ways, completing and confirming the results. The problem of this method is that it is laborious for the researcher.
