TL;DR: It is suggested that understanding and appreciating professional roles and responsibilities and communicating effectively emerged as the two perceived core competencies for patient-centred collaborative practice and should be the primary focus of student and staff education aimed at increasing collaborative practice skills.

TL;DR: It was found that IP interventions at the post-licensure level improved provider satisfaction and workplace quality and none of the studies reported long-term data on graduate employment choice, which is essential to fully establish the effectiveness of IP interventions as a HHR recruitment strategy.

TL;DR: Examination of collaborative practice in six acute care units across Alberta using the CIHC competency framework found positive examples of communication and patient-centred care supported by unit structures and processes, but some gaps in collaborative practice were found.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in IP mentoring, provider commitment was important, students engaged in IP activities of varying complexity, and students learned about roles of other professions and how to work together to provide patient-centred care.

TL;DR: The authors' analysis showed distinct contextual differences between the three sites as represented by the strengths of the six factors at the outset of the IP interventions and the way the factors evolved throughout the project.
