Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PROMOTING PARTNERSHIP FOR HEALTH This book forms part of a series entitled Promoting Partnership for Health publishedin association with the UK Centre for the Advancement of Interprofessional Education (CAIPE). The series explores partnership for health from policy, practice and educational perspectives. Whilst strongly advocating the imperative driving collaboration in healthcare, it adopts a pragmatic approach. Far from accepting established ideas and approaches, the series alerts readers to the pitfalls and ways to avoid them. DESCRIPTION Interprofessional Teamwork for Health and Social Care is an invaluable guide for clinicians, academics, managers and policymakers who need to understand, implement and evaluate interprofessional teamwork. It will give them a fuller understanding of how teams function, of the issues relating to the evaluation of teamwork, and of approaches to creating and implementing interventions (e.g. team training, quality improvement initiatives) within health and social care settings. It will also raise awareness of the wide range of theories that can inform interprofessional teamwork. The book is divided into nine chapters. The first 'sets the scene' by outlining some common issues which underpin interprofessional teamwork, while the second discusses current teamwork developments around the globe. Chapter 3 explores a range of team concepts, and Chapter 4 offers a new framework for understanding interprofessional teamwork. The next three chapters discuss how a range of range of social science theories, interventions and evaluation approaches can be employed to advance this field. Chapter 8 presents a synthesis of research into teams the authors have undertaken in Canada, South Africa and the UK, while the final chapter draws together key threads and offers ideas for future of teamwork. The book also provides a range of resources for designing, implementing and evaluating interprofessional teamwork activities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing collaborative working between GPs and community pharmacists has recently become a high priority for the NHS. Previous research suggests that interaction is limited and problematic between the two professions, forming a barrier to service provision. This PhD aimed to explore the level, nature and process of interaction between GPs and community pharmacists, using a social network analysis approach. The study focused on four geographically different case study areas and 90 GPs and community pharmacists participated in total. A two-stage design was adopted. Firstly data were collected through a network questionnaire and analysed using social network analysis. Secondly, qualitative interviews were conducted to provide narrative to the network findings and analysed using the framework approach. The nature of contact was characterised as mostly indirect through brokers, de-personalised and non-reciprocal and seemingly at odds with collaborative behaviour. A misalignment in responses pointed to asymmetry in the relationship, representing little commonality, knowing and understanding of each other. Through social network analysis, individuals and dyads in possession of strong ties were identified. Strong ties were not the norm and were characterised by more personalised forms of reciprocal contact. Qualitative interviews provided insight into the processes of interaction between the two professional groups. An approach to the interaction, which involved pharmacists tactically managing the potential conflict in the interaction through use of deferential and sometimes subservient behaviour, was conceptualised as the 'pharmacist-GP game'. Those pharmacists with strong ties to GPs also, at times, adopted aspects of this approach but also attempted to set themselves apart from other pharmacists in order to develop and maintain their strong ties with GPs. However, possession of strong ties did not always lead to capitalisation, and the benefits of possessing these were often viewed as efficiency and convenience gains rather than anything more wide-reaching. Often, more isolated GPs and pharmacists did not view strong ties as a necessity, with the benefits of these not considered rewarding enough for the time and effort required to achieve them. This effort-reward conflict was identified as an important constraint faced by GPs and pharmacists in relation to transforming these loose connections into more integrated networks. Other micro and macro level constraints were also identified and a series of accompanying recommendations made for future practice and research.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose. To determine community pharmacists' perceptions of their collaborative working relationships (CWRs) with physicians and of factors that contributed to or hindered collaborative drug therapy management (C-DTM). Methods. Ten semi-structured interviews were conducted with medical building pharmacists in Toronto who varied in gender and years of practice experience in Canada. Interpretive content analysis was performed. Results. Pharmacists desired a role in C-DTM to reduce the number of drug therapy problems; however, collaboration was uncommon. Pharmacists' best CWRs were at low, mid, and high levels. Attributes ascribed to CWRs were trust, working together, communication, sharing decisions and patient information, and patient referral. Factors that contributed to or hindered the development of CWRs at the practice and system levels were described. Conclusions. C-DTM is infrequent and does not occur to the extent that participants perceived was necessary to improve prescribing and patient outcomes. McDonough and Doucette's CWR Model (2001) should include third-party (i.e. receptionist) and systemic factors as influences on pharmacist-physician CWRs.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Truncated abstract] Collaboration in primary healthcare has been acknowledged by Governments and healthcare providers as important to improve continuity of care and chronic disease management (CDM) in the community. Collaboration between primary healthcare professionals has been shown to be a complex and poorly understood process that has not reached its potential. There has been only limited investigation of collaborative CDM in primary healthcare, with scant study of the underutilisation of community pharmacists (CPs) in the delivery of collaborative CDM. This study examined the research question How can collaboration between GPs and CPs be improved to help CDM in primary healthcare reach its potential? A grounded theory methodology was employed to address the question. The substantive theory developed was based on data collected and analysed from semi-structured, one-on-one interviews with GPs (n=22) and CPs (n=22) and four consumer focus groups (n=25). There has been little investigation of the GP/CP relationship, especially in the context of collaborative primary healthcare. In the present study, the GP/CP relationship is presented as the central focus of GP/CP collaboration. The substantive theory of GP/CP collaboration that was produced has as its core phenomenon the need for a shared belief in positive patient outcomes between GPs, CPs and consumers. Crucial to the development of the core phenomenon were three main categories that interact with each other and act as barriers to the development of good GP/CP relationships and thus GP/CP collaboration. The three barriers were found to be power distance, unclear definition of roles and logistical factors unique to the primary healthcare environment. On the basis of this finding, strategies were developed to overcome the barriers and improve the likelihood of the development of a shared belief in the potential for collaborative CDM to achieve positive patient outcomes. The strategies suggested by the professional interviewees (GPs, CPs) to control power distance were raising GP awareness to the improved CP CDM capabilities and skill set through both top-down and bottom-up approaches. CPs believed their skills in managing the patient-centred service model need to be improved, along with their ability to develop strong GP/CP relationships to better engage GPs in collaboration. Finally, a stronger CP/consumer relationship could be further utilised as an avenue for CPs to demonstrate to GPs the benefits CPs offer when they are included in patient management. The professional interviewees believed that improving GP/CP role negotiation to establish firm CDM roles and responsibilities would decrease GP concerns regarding fragmentation of collaborative patient care. Significantly, GP fears around medico-legal culpability and decreased patient benefits need to be minimised. Thus there is a need for CPs to formalise their role as healthcare professionals and not as retailers when collaborating with GPs. Consumers were also largely unaware of CPs CDM expertise, however they responded positively to the prospect of CPs delivering CDM...

This book was released on 2013 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background Primary healthcare is inherently in a state of flux due to increased demand for services countered by limited resources. Consequently primary healthcare professionals have had to adapt and redefine their roles. Recognition of the under-utilisation of the community pharmacists' expertise has resulted in a role shift from shopkeeper/product seller to cognitive services provider/seller. Successful implementation of new roles such as medicines management by community pharmacists requires identification of perceived barriers so that strategies which enable enhanced inter-professional collaboration can be adopted for the ultimate result of positive benefits for the patient. Aims/Objectives To identify the perceptions of community pharmacists and general practitioners regarding the community pharmacist's role; to examine any barriers to community pharmacist involvement in medicines management and to compare results of this study (2012) with those obtained in 1998 and 2002 respectively for any changes over time. Methods Two profession specific postal surveys modelled on the two previous studies were sent to 600 randomly selected community pharmacists and general practitioners respectively. Quantitative data was obtained using a Likert scale and analysed via SPSS v20. An analysis of trends was used for comparative analysis of the results obtained from the three studies. Analysis of qualitative data was undertaken via thematic analysis. Results The 2012 results revealed general acceptance of traditional community pharmacist roles but with general practitioners showing less acceptance for cognitive roles. Of more importance were the changes in agreement for these roles observed over the three studies. Whilst community pharmacists showed consistent agreement for involvement in medicines management barriers including a perceived lack of mandate, legitimacy, adequacy and effectiveness were identified by both groups; nonetheless more noteworthy were the changes in perception over time. Conclusion Comparative analysis of the three studies showed gradual but important shifts in perceptions, particularly by general practitioners with regard to acceptance of the provision of cognitive services by community pharmacists. Although the barriers to increased community pharmacist involvement in medicines management remained of note were the changes in attitude toward improved inter-professional collaboration over time, particularly from general practitioners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing healthcare is a team endeavor. Teams play an important role along the full chain of patient care, ranging from ad-hoc emergency and anesthesia teams delivering immediate care to tumor boards conferring on long-term cancer treatment. Thereby, quality of patient care hinges on the successful intra- and interprofessional collaboration among healthcare professionals, and sensitive partnering with patients and their families. In particular, communication and coordination in healthcare teams have been found essential for team performance and patient safety. Yet, effective teamwork is challenging, especially in large hospitals where turnover rates are high, and for interdisciplinary and interprofessional ad-hoc teams lacking the experience of constantly working together as a team (e.g., ICU, emergency teams, obstetrics, or anesthesia). Moreover, healthcare teams deal with complex tasks, have to make risky and fast decisions under uncertainty, and to adapt quickly to changing conditions. Fostering research on how to promote effective teamwork in healthcare may thus make an important contribution to a better quality of patient care.
