“…An example is pharmacists who review and synthesize the pharmaceutical component of a patient's medical history so physicians can easily understand it. Finally, and probably most importantly, is shared sensemaking and shared decision making (S. Fox & Brummans, 2019;Opie, 2000). When problems are very complex or uncertain, multivocality is necessary to gain a holistic view of the situation and what can be done about it.…”

“…I would frame my findings in terms quality of patient care and patient safety. One thing I noticed in observing narrative talk about the same patient over the course of a week is that team members can narratively emplot the same events of a patient's situation and actually tell different stories (see S. Fox & Brummans, 2019). These different stories have consequences for patient care.…”

Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) is a cornerstone of today's healthcare organizations. IPC is intended to address fragmentation in healthcare systems and increasingly complex healthcare needs, which exceed the expertise of one profession. It requires that clinicians from different professions work together with patients, their families, carers, and communities to provide comprehensive services and quality care. Often linked to quality improvement initiatives, IPC is thought to enhance health outcomes, patient safety and satisfaction, and quality of care. Depending on the interdependence between collaborating clinicians, IPC practices can take various forms. The effectiveness of IPC depends on a set of interrelated factors involving healthcare systems and policy, healthcare organizations, interprofessional teams, and individuals. Communication is a key element of IPC effectiveness but remains undertheorized in much IPC literature. While IPC communication entails the accurate and timely transfer of information, it is also how clinicians negotiate and define patient care, and establish relationships with team members, patients, and their families. Health communication scholars can thus contribute nuanced understandings of IPC communicative practices. Future research should investigate the role of artifacts and especially the role of the person receiving IPC care.
