Abstract
Objective: The objective of the study was to assess the usefulness of the neuron model in educating how evidence-based drug information and interprofessional care interface. Methods: The Neuron model of evidence-based practice and interprofessional care was introduced in an online session to a group of healthcare professionals at a United Arab Emirates (UAE) tertiary-level care hospital in March 2021. A Google Form survey was used to assess the usefulness of the neuron model. Results: Among those who responded to the form, 90% of healthcare professionals said that the neuron model was useful. This agreement improved significantly (Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test p-value > 0.05), and persisted even after six months. Conclusion: The healthcare professionals agreed that the neuron model was beneficial in visualising how evidence-based practice and interprofessional care interface with each other, integrate into the academic health system, and help identify areas of improvement for healthcare professionals.
