OVERVIEW OF CURRENT RESEARCH AND TRENDS IN INTERPROFESSIONAL COLLABORATION 7

DEFINING INTERPROFESSIONAL COLLABORATION Interprofessional collaboration in health care is a partnership among different professionals for the purpose of providing quality health care to individuals and communities. Collaboration occurs when a group of individuals with diverse backgrounds work together as a unit to solve patient problems, set up mutual goals, work interdependently to define and treat patient problems, accept and capitalize on disciplinary differences, share leadership, and communicate effectively with each other. (Careau, et. al. (2014), 374) 8

THE HEALTH HUMANITIES: SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION Do you have any examples of engaging the humanities in your clinical work? Films, music, stories, or authors that have shaped who you are as a practitioner? What do you consider the primary barriers in your practice context to utilizing the health humanities as an interprofessional partner? Are there any solutions to address these barriers? What do you think the primary benefits of collaborating with people involved in the humanities would be for your practice? Can you think of any specific questions or problems for which collaboration with the health humanities would be of help? 20

THE HEALTH HUMANITIES: BENEFITS FOR PRACTICE 1. Collaboration with the health humanities opens up new perspectives on our clients experiences of disability, illness, and rehabilitation. 2. Collaboration with the health humanities can provide creative paths of connection with our clients, facilitated by areas such as literature, music, film, or non-fiction narrative accounts of disability. 3. Collaboration with the health humanities can help us ask more holistic questions about our client s occupational participation and in turn provide more holistic and client-centered care. 21

THEOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES Defining Theology Finding Collaborators Abingdon Press. [Book Cover]. Retrieved from http://nihilobstat.info/2009/04/01/ a-theology-of-disability/ 22

THEOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES: SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION Do you have any examples of engaging theological perspectives in your clinical work? If so, how have these perspectives shaped who you are as a practitioner? What do you consider the primary barriers in your practice context to utilizing theology as an interprofessional partner? Are there any solutions to these barriers? What do you think the primary benefits of collaborating with professionals involved in theology would be for your practice? Can you think of any specific questions or problems for which collaboration with the individuals in theology would be of help? 23

THEOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES: BENEFITS FOR PRACTICE 1. Collaboration with professionals in theology can enhance rapport-building between OT practitioners and clients, even with minimal collaborative effort. 2. Collaboration with professionals in theology can help OT practitioners more holistically understand their clients beliefs about their disability, and in turn, influence clinical reasoning and collaborative goalsetting. 3. Collaboration with professionals in theology can facilitate OT practitioners understanding of clients sources of hope and assist OT practitioners in providing more holistic and client-centered sources of motivation for clients. 24

CONCLUSION 25

IN CONCLUSION Interprofessional collaboration in health care is a partnership among different professionals for the purpose of providing quality health care to individuals and communities. Collaboration occurs when a group of individuals with diverse backgrounds work together as a unit to solve patient problems, set up mutual goals, work interdependently to define and treat patient problems, accept and capitalize on disciplinary differences, share leadership, and communicate effectively with each other.
