Essay

Competencies needed for effective interprofessional collaboration include:
1. Work with individuals of other professions to maintain a climate of mutual respect and shared values.
2. Use the knowledge of one’s own role and those of other professions to appropriately assess and address the health care needs of patients and populations served.
3. Communicate with patients, families, communities and other health care professionals in a responsive and responsible manner that supports a team approach to the maintenance of health and treatment of disease.
4. Apply relationship-building values and the principles of team dynamics to perform effectively in different team roles to plan and deliver patient- and population-centered care that is safe, timely, efficient, effective, and equitable.
Using a top-down communication strategy does not apply as a team approach, but is needed for interprofessional collaboration.
