Collaborative Practice and Patient Safety

The World Health Organization defines interdisciplinary collaboration as "when multiple medical personnel with different working backgrounds cooperate with patients, families, caregivers, and communities to provide top quality medical care" . Paradis et al.3 show that there are several major obstacles to providing quality care while working with colleagues in the same environment and system. To overcome barriers of collaboration across experts, to expose patients to dangerous care and negative outcomes

Acquire interdisciplinary collaborative practices to determine expectations for team members to achieve such practices

As part of the quality improvement process, the program will explain the lack of interdisciplinary collaboration opportunities that may affect patient care.

Consider using the Roberts et al. 2, Paradis et al. In the discussion of the journal club to identify similar obstacles in the organization.

IPE was previously a problem related to patient safety and medical quality. In addition, the labor shortage brings about lack of collaboration, lack of patient-centered care, and lack of knowledge about the role as a medical professional. The World Health Organization (WHO) considered cooperative medical education as an essential element of health care in 1988 and established its conceptual framework for interdisciplinary education for health staff. Announcement of 2007 research group report on IPE contribution and IPE and collaboration

Patient safety is another important aspect of health and social care quality. The World Health Organization defines patient safety as "preventable harm to the patient during the healthcare process" and sets patient safety discipline to "cooperative to prevent harm caused by the health care process Initiatives ". In 1991 Harvard Medical Practice Survey reported that 4% of patients suffered something in the hospital and subsequent medical laboratories reported that medical malpractice in medical was estimated in 1999. In the United States, deaths such as traffic accidents and breast cancer are increasing. Studies in the UK and Europe estimate that 10% of hospitalized patients suffer from medical malpractice or risk,

Safety culture has been shown to affect patient safety in health care. The United States and the UK have studied dimensions that reflect the patient's safety culture in the family medical environment, but this has not been achieved so far in Canada. Differences in health systems between these countries and Canada may affect related aspects here. It is therefore important to identify and compare aspects of the United States and the UK in relation to Canada. The objective of this study was to investigate the dimension of the safety culture of patients related to Canadian family health care and to identify the dimension found in Canada and the dimension found in previous studies conducted in the United States and the UK It is to judge whether there are differences and similarities. High quality research was conducted through the use of focus groups with family comprehensive office and complementary key stakeholders for subject analysis.
