Interprofessional collaboration: effects of practice-based interventions on professional practice and healthcare outcomes.
TL;DR: The review suggests that practice-based IPC interventions can improve healthcare processes and outcomes, but due to the small number of studies, sample sizes, problems with conceptualising and measuring collaboration, and heterogeneity of interventions and settings, it is difficult to draw generalisable inferences about the key elements of IPC.
