The educational aim of the program was to realise a shift in tasks and responsibilities from GP to practice nurse.
A shift in tasks and responsibilities between GP and practice nurses on case finding and medication did not occur during the IPE program.
During the IPE program, a shift in tasks and responsibilities from GPs to practice nurses in the primary care practices took place, especially with regard to tasks and responsibilities related to the care plan.
Third, the VAS scale used to measure a shift in tasks and responsibilities from GP to practice nurse was developed specifically for the program and has not been validated in research as yet.
Most of the interviewed participants indicated that the lectures and practical assignments with regard to the triage instrument and the care plan had already initiated a shift in tasks and responsibilities from GP to practice nurse or that there was at least an incentive to realise this shift.
The role of a human operator differs from that of a pilot in a manned aircraft, and this new role creates a need for a shift in interface and task design in order to take advantage of the full potential of these systems.
In addition, in most primary care practices there is a need for a greater shift in tasks and responsibilities on activities with regard to the care plan from GP to practice nurses in the future (Table 1).
A shift in behavior due to task experience was potentially due to participants directing their attention to relevant visual information (e.g. horizon line specified by eye height, texture gradient, corner of the room, etc).
A shift in PC use from tasks like writing documents and sending text-based e-mail to entertainment uses like music, photos and video could touch off a new cycle of demand for PC hardware and software.
Additionally, in a congenital learned helpless rat strain performing the same task, a shift in responding away from obtaining reward and towards increased avoidance of punishment was observed (Enkel et al., 2010).
An example of a hypothesis-driven experiment is presented, where we investigated whether practise of a working memory task caused a shift in the neuronal representation of working memory or not.
