Interdisciplinary Collaboration in Nursing

Interdisciplinary collaboration in nursing is a way to integrate the values, hopes, and preferences of patients and caregivers into treatment plans. This can help ensure that patients receive optimal care.

To promote effective collaboration, organizations can make changes such as: 

• Supporting continuity in patient–healthcare professional relationships
• Providing interdisciplinary training
• Allocating time for pre-conversation preparation and post-conversation debriefing
