VOLUME 6, 2023
Abstract
Healthcare collaboration involves the deliberate coordination of efforts among different healthcare professionals to achieve shared objectives in patient care. This concept is based on the understanding that patient outcomes improve when professionals from diverse disciplines work together effectively (Flores-Sandoval et al., 2021). A wide range of healthcare providers—including nurses, physicians, pharmacists, laboratory technicians, and allied health professionals—contribute their specialized knowledge to ensure comprehensive and continuous care. Through collaboration, all dimensions of a patient’s health are addressed, resulting in more accurate diagnoses, effective treatments, and improved recovery outcomes (Alhawsawi et al., 2023). Collaborative practice is especially critical in the management of complex medical conditions that require input from multiple specialists. By promoting coordinated communication and shared responsibility, collaboration supports a holistic model of care and enhances patients’ overall healthcare experiences. Ultimately, integrating diverse expertise improves care quality, minimizes errors, and supports more efficient use of healthcare resources (Zumstein-Shaha & Grace, 2023).
