The Canadian Interprofessional Healthcare Collaborative [CIHC] defines interprofessional collaboration (IPC) as “a partnership between a team of healthcare providers in a participatory, collaborative and coordinated approach to shared decision-making around health and social issues” (CIHC, 2010). Its six interdependent domains include many descriptors that apply to the persons participating in or receiving care/services. A supplementary guide will support the engagement of persons and their families in team collaboration (CIHC, 2024). The CIHC framework has been adopted across Canada in most healthcare settings. The CRNM and CNA also recognize it as an essential tool that nurses utilize daily. The CRNM and CNA position statement is located in the library guide.
