Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Interprofessional Education
  • Patient Care

Background:

  • Complex patient care transitions present significant challenges for healthcare professionals.
  • Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) is recognized as a vital strategy for managing these transitions.
  • Fragmented healthcare systems often impede effective IPC.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore Swiss healthcare professionals' experiences with complex patient care transitions.
  • To investigate the perceived potential of IPC in improving these transitions.
  • To identify barriers and facilitators for IPC in this context.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study employing a between-method triangulation design.
  • Data collected through two focus group discussions and ten individual interviews.
  • Inclusion of professionals from diverse disciplines: nursing, medicine, psychology, physiotherapy, dietetics, social service, occupational therapy, and speech therapy.

Main Results:

  • Professionals envision an ideal state for complex patient care transition.
  • Current challenges in complex patient care transition were identified.
  • IPC was highlighted as an effective intervention, but its sustainable implementation is limited by the healthcare system.
  • Clinicians suggested practical, hands-on solutions to overcome organizational boundaries.

Conclusions:

  • Healthcare professionals strongly support IPC for enhancing complex patient care transitions.
  • The current healthcare system in Switzerland inadequately promotes sustainable IPC.
  • Proactive efforts by clinicians are essential to foster IPC and improve care transitions despite systemic limitations.
