Abstract

Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) has been shown to improve patient safety and quality of care. Particularly, IPC assists health care providers to manage complex and chronic diseases. To this end, primary care centers around the world have begun practicing IPC; however, little is known about the patient’s experience of IPC in primary care (IPC-pc). The goals of this scoping review were to identify the studies exploring patients’ perspectives on IPC-pc and to reveal gaps in the literature for future research in order to inform policy and practice. A keyword search strategy was conducted using PubMed to identify studies published from 1997 to 2017 on IPC-pc that included data collected from patients or their caregivers about patient experience or satisfaction. Seven studies met the inclusion criteria for the scoping review, and these studies were evaluated by interprofessional intervention, collaboration and outcomes.
