What Challenges Exist in Interprofessional Collaboration?
Despite its benefits, several challenges can hinder effective collaboration:
Communication Barriers: Misunderstandings and lack of effective communication can cause conflicts and errors. Role Confusion: Without a clear understanding of each team member's role, tasks may be overlooked or duplicated. Hierarchy Issues: Traditional healthcare hierarchies can impede open and equal communication among team members. Time Constraints: Coordinating schedules for meetings and joint activities can be challenging, especially in busy clinical settings.
