Interprofessional Collaboration AMONG Physiotherapy, Nursing, AND Pharmacy IN Healthcare: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Integrated Health Care Delivery with Interprofessional Collaboration among Health Care Professions and Disciplines - Physiotherapy, Nursing, and Pharmacy - Are Vital, And Are The Focus And Purpose Of This Review. Interprofessional Collaboration And The Range Of Applications And Benefits Are Theoretical Elements Under Consideration. The Transition From The Earlier Systems With Siloed Structures And Disciplines In Health Care Delivery To Systems With Collaborative Care Has Been Brought About By Rapid Changes In The Environment, The Increased Complexity And Demand Of Patients And The Understandings Of More Favorable Health Results When Care Is Collaborative; Participation Of Various Disciplines Is Coordinated. This Report Discusses Interprofessional Education (IPE) As The Launching Pad For This Type Of Collaborative Approach, Reviews The Clinical Uses (Applications) Of This Collaborative Practice On Varied Patient Groups Across The Continuum – Chronic Disease, Pain, Geriatrics, Rehabilitation, And The Various Disciplines And Health Professions Of Nursing, Pharmacy And Physiotherapy, And The Interprofessional Collaboration Practiced In Health Care Delivery Systems. This Review Presents Evidence From Previous Research Documenting Increased Patient Outcomes And Positive Clinical Outcomes In Health Cost For Health Care And In Pharmacy Denial Of The Health Care System And Decreased Re-Admittance Rate Of Patients From The Evidence. Health Care Organizations Are Still Struggling With The Implementation Of This Evidence Due To Complexity, System Hierarchy, Role Assumptions, Basic Interprofessional Collaboration In Health Care Delivery Systems, And Other Health Professions Implementation Gaps, As They Are Focused Beyond Pharmacy. To Move Forward With The Evidence Available To Optimal Interprofessional Collaboration To Achieve Patient-Centered Care, This Review Will Contribute To Health Care Administrators, Educators, And Clinicians.
