TL;DR: Qualitative findings of an interprofessional intervention designed to improve communication and collaboration between different professions in general internal medicine hospital wards in Canada suggested that the intervention did not produce the anticipated changes in communication and collaborated between health professionals, and allowed us to identify barriers to the implementation of effective collaboration interventions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the nature of interprofessional interactions within two general and internal medicine (GIM) settings in Canada and found that both formal and informal inter professional interactions between physicians and other health professionals were terse, consisting of unidirectional comments from physicians to other healthcare professionals.

TL;DR: Using the Normalization Process Theory as a framework, this analysis demonstrates the importance of champion coherence, external and internal relationship building, and the strategic management of a project’s organization-level visibility as important to ERAS uptake and sustainability.

TL;DR: Postoperative compliance is the most difficult to achieve but is most strongly associated with optimal recovery, and the data support that ERAS has more effect in patients undergoing open surgery, and it also showed a significant impact on patients treated with a laparoscopic approach.

TL;DR: Longstanding emotion work issues must be addressed before nurses will engage collaboratively in collaborative nursing practice, and the refining of holistic nursing information, and reflections on practice by all interprofessional team members are suggested.
