Interprofessional Collaboration in Health Care and Outcomes in Nursing Homes

Title: The effectiveness of learning to collaborate interprofessionally on healthcare processes and outcomes in nursing homes: a cluster randomized controlled trial in primary care. The ageing of the population is expected to be a major driver of increasing demand for more complex and continuous care. The delivery of health care for this population requires high level of coordinated teamwork and efforts. Interprofessional collaboration can improve healthcare processes and outcomes. It assumes a model of working together. It is a process by which professionals develop an integrated and cohesive answer to the needs of the patients. In this study the possible effects of learning to interprofessionally collaborate will be investigated on health care processes and outcomes for chronic geriatric patients in nursing homes.
