The health care professionals' perspectives of collaboration in rehabilitation - an interview study.
In previous literature, it has been recognised that the extent to which different healthcare professionals collaborate may affect both the quality and safety of care, and patient outcomes. Collaboration appears to be an essential part of professional practice, yet there is a lack of knowledge and understanding of collaboration in the context of short-term care units. Therefore, this study was undertaken to better understand how professionals in this context view collaboration. ⋯ Opportunities for supervision could be one way to increase individuals' awareness of their own role in the team.
