Modern healthcare is always facing new challenges, both due to new diseases and due to open systemic questions in the internal and wider social enviorment. Experts who search for breakthrough solutions, emphasize that patient care remains the primary task of healthcare. While solving pressing systemic problems, they advise considering new business models, according to which advanced systems already include (integrate) advanced solutions, supported by new technologies, artificial intelligence, robotics and digitalization. All this contributes to a growing need in healthcare for inclusive work enviorment and interprofessional (interdisciplinary) cooperation of various fields and professions. In this regard, the central part of the title paper is intended to show the results of a newer research on the impact of an inclusive work enviorment on interprofessional cooperation in healthcare, carried out in the period 2021-2022 as part of a postgraduate doctoral thesis.
The situation we are experiencing on a global level and in the domestic environment confirms long-standing warnings that human and planetary survival requires radical changes in the way we think and respond to the demanding problems and challenges of today's society. The COVID19 epidemic has further exacerbated the deterioration. There is too much intolerance, even towards those who, in their moral and professional obligation to humanity and the medical profession, risk their own lives to save the lives and health of others. As social and personal hardships intensify, the dark forces of human character accumulate and destroy interpersonal and social relationships. Due to the increasingly serious consequences, such as psychological and physical violence, discrimination and exclusion in the workplace, a comprehensive and inclusive (integrated, integrative) model of an inclusive and safe work environment is being established worldwide. Inclusive practices have a positive effect on productivity by improving organizational climate and employee motivation, commitment and adherence to business ethics and values of the organization, while reducing turnover and risk of deviance. Therefore, they are often mentioned as the starting point for integrated and connected, integrated business, applicable business ethics and integrity, sustainable social responsibility, and achieving sustainable development goals in the era of new technologies and Industry 4.0. Thus, as part of a tertiary research project, in January 2020 we organised a seminar with a workshop for UKCL employees on a friendly, inclusive and safe working environment. The findings and conclusions are presented in this paper.
