Coffey then closed the session by saying that too often, assessment is thought of as a way of looking back rather than looking forward, and there is a potentially strong role for assessment as a tool for moving innovation forward. IDEAS FOR FUTURE STEPS Eric Holmboe led the final session to develop ideas for future steps.

Her immediate next step involved leveraging the Forum membership to communicate to a wider audience -- that includes regulatory organizations and community-based clinician educators -- the importance of engaging patients in assessment in ways that have proven effective. The evidence for greater patient engagement in assessment would come from an environmental scan of best practices in this area that could be further expanded through commissioned studies of the topic.

She started by suggesting a better use of the talent and expertise of the Global Forum members, who would be asked to conduct a gap analysis that identifies what has already been undertaken in the area of assessment of interprofessional activities, and what still needs to be addressed. The analysis would include how to obtain assessment data that are most useful to organizational boards and professional associations.
