Description
Interprofessional collaboration is often confused with multiprofessional collaboration. Multiprofessional collaboration is essentially a summation of separate services provided to the same client. Since professionals are often unaware of each other’s actions, this can lead to significant problems, such as duplicated work and poorly coordinated treatments. Simply having different professions work side by side does not automatically make their collaboration interprofessional, although it is often perceived that way. Achieving true interprofessional collaboration requires much more.For example, interprofessional collaboration also involves focusing on making the most of each other's talents. When members of a team possess a relatively high interprofessional identity, they are more inclined to make efforts for one another and to listen to each other. Such a group generates more solutions, asks more questions of one another, shares more ideas, and collectively determines the work agenda. When a team achieves more together than individuals can alone, we refer to this as synergy.
Synergy is influenced by the development of interprofessional identity. Vocational education plays a critical role in this process. It should encourage interprofessional thinking and foster the ability to work effectively in interprofessional teams. At the same time, professional identity—an individual’s sense of connection to their own profession—can also be developed. Interprofessional collaboration requires a cultural shift. This presentation will focus primarily on how such synergy can flourish.
