Interprofessional education (IPE) emphasizes collaborative care to improve health outcomes. In this scoping review, 94 articles that linked IPE to at least one of ten CMS quality measures (e.g., medication errors, readmission rates) were identified. The majority included learners from medicine and nursing, with much less representation from other professions, and fewer than one-third included students. Most clinical outcomes improved or showed no change; only two were negative.
