“…This model suggests that collaboration can either be latent, developing or active, with active being the optimal level of collaboration (D' Amour et al, 2008). However, it is argued that interprofessional collaboration need not require a shared identity or integration, unlike interprofessional teamwork (Reeves et al, 2010). Reeves et al's (2010) conceptual framework identifies 21 factors influencing interprofessional teamwork, categorised into four domains: relational (factors directly affecting relationships, e.g., power), processual (factors affecting the implementation of collaboration, e.g.…”

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Review methods Papers were included if they explored one or a combination of: the areas of practice in which midwives and health visitors worked collaboratively; the methods that midwives and health visitors employed when communicating and collaborating with each other; the effectiveness of collaboration between midwives and health visitors; and whether collaborative practice between midwives and health visitors meet clinical guidelines. Papers were assessed for study quality. Permanent repository link ResultsEighteen papers (sixteen studies) met the inclusion criteria. The studies found that midwives and health visitors reported valuing interprofessional collaboration, however this was rare in practice. Findings show that collaboration could be useful across the service continuum, from antenatal care, transition of care/handover, to postnatal care. Evidence for the effectiveness of collaboration between these two groups was equivocal and based on selfreported data. In relation, multiple enablers and barriers to collaboration were identified. Communication was reportedly key to interprofessional collaboration. ConclusionsInterprofessional collaboration was valuable according to both midwives and health visitors, however, this was made challenging by several barriers such as poor communication, limited resources, and poor understanding of each other's role. Structural barriers such as physical distance also featured as a challenge to interprofessional collaboration. Although the findings are limited by variable methodological quality, these were consistent across time, geographical locations, and health settings, indicating transferability and reliability.

“…[7][8][9][10] Initial research has explored "teamwork" in hospital discharge [7][8][9][10] , but there has been less critical examination of the complex range of factors that affect the ways in which healthcare professionals work together (e.g. interprofessional friction, role boundaries, miscommunication, poor coordination of care) 11 in GIM from the perspective of the various healthcare professionals. We therefore undertook a sociologically informed ethnographic study to examine the factors that shape and characterize such interactions in relation to the process of discharge.…”

“…12,13 Interprofessional collaboration has been defined as a type of work which involves different healthcare professionals who regularly come together to solve problems or provide services. 11 We used two sociological theories to inform the study: professional dominance and negotiated order. The theory of professional dominance is concerned with the nature and implications of healthcare division of labour, where physicians have historically occupied a dominant clinical, economic and social position over other occupational groups.…”

BACKGROUND:Interprofessional collaboration is an important aspect of patient discharge from a general internal medicine (GIM) unit. However, there has been minimal empirical or theoretical research that has examined interactions that occur between medical residents and other healthcare professionals in the discharge process. This study provides insight into the social processes that shape and characterize such interactions. OBJECTIVE: To explore factors that shape interactions between medical residents and other healthcare professionals in relation to patient discharge, and to examine the opportunities for negotiations about discharge between these professional groups. DESIGN: A qualitative ethnographic approach using observations, interviews and documentary analysis. PARTICIPANTS AND SETTING: Healthcare professionals working in a GIM unit in Canada. APPROACH: Sixty-five hours of observations were undertaken in a range of settings (e.g. interprofessional rounds, medical and nursing rounds, nursing station) in the unit over a 17-month period. A maximum variation sampling approach was used to identify healthcare professionals working in the unit. Twenty-three interviews were completed, recorded and transcribed verbatim. A directed content approach using theories of medical dominance and negotiated order was used to analyze the data. KEY RESULTS: The organization of clinical work in combination with clinical teaching influenced interprofessional interactions and the quality of discharge in this GIM unit. While organizational activities (orientation and rounds) and individual activities (e.g. role modeling, teaching) supported negotiations between medical residents and other healthcare professionals around discharge, participants had varied perspectives about their effectiveness. CONCLUSIONS: This study illuminates social factors and processes that require attention in order to address challenges with interprofessional collaboration and discharge in GIM. These findings have implications for medical education, workplace learning, patient safety and quality improvement.KEY WORDS: Medical education-practice-based learning; Qualitative research; Quality improvement; Health services research.
