“…For example, in Australia, team dynamics of general practitioners and pharmacists articulated professional relationships in primary care highlighted a pathway to more collaborative practices [ 26 ]. Furthermore, multidisciplinary team agreements on providers' roles and responsibilities were stimulated in fall prevention programs [ 59 ].…”

“…Poor knowledge about the availability of services, time and training, lack of clear roles, fears relating to professional identity and poor communication, poor understanding of contexts challenges appearing to lead to weak mutual trust, lack of cooperation, a poor collaboration including lack of agreements with pharmacists, limited coordination and communication [ 56 , 59 , 61 ]. Limited partnerships with community pharmacists and allied professionals in fall injury prevention influenced limited knowledge of drugs, and the potential role of pharmacists [ 59 ]. Additionally, in some instances, conventional power structures between professions hinder teamwork and interprofessional collaboration between care providers [ 38 , 40 ].…”

Background Healthcare coordination and continuity of care conceptualize all care providers and organizations involved in health care to ensure the right care at the right time. However, systematic evidence synthesis is lacking in the care coordination of health services. This scoping review synthesizes evidence on different levels of care coordination of primary health care (PHC) and primary care. Methods We conducted a scoping review of published evidence on healthcare coordination. PubMed, Scopus, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane, PsycINFO, Web of Science and Google Scholar were searched until 30 November 2022 for studies that describe care coordination/continuity of care in PHC and primary care. We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines to select studies. We analysed data using a thematic analysis approach and explained themes adopting a multilevel (individual, organizational, and system) analytical framework. Results A total of 56 studies were included in the review. Most studies were from upper-middle-income or high-income countries, primarily focusing on continuity/care coordination in primary care. Ten themes were identified in care coordination in PHC/primary care. Four themes under care coordination at the individual level were the continuity of services, linkage at different stages of health conditions (from health promotion to rehabilitation), health care from a life-course (conception to elderly), and care coordination of health services at places (family to hospitals). Five themes under organizational level care coordination included interprofessional, multidisciplinary services, community collaboration, integrated care, and information in care coordination. Finally, a theme under system-level care coordination was related to service management involving multisectoral coordination within and beyond health systems. Conclusions Continuity and coordination of care involve healthcare provisions from family to health facility throughout the life-course to provide a range of services. Several issues could influence multilevel care coordination, including at the individual (services or users), organizational (providers), and system (departments and sectors) levels. Health systems should focus on care coordination, ensuring types of care per the healthcare needs at different stages of health conditions by a multidisciplinary team. Coordinating multiple technical and supporting stakeholders and sectors within and beyond health sector is also vital for the continuity of care especially in resource-limited health systems and settings.

“…Physiotherapists, home care nurses and practice nurses have recently indicated to be open for collaboration with community pharmacists in fall prevention. 14 These healthcare providers specifically indicated that they lack knowledge about how to identify and adjust the use of FRIDs and they hope that collaboration with pharmacists helps them to solve this. 14 , 37 …”
