The implementation of interprofessional practice (IPP) within healthcare appears to be fraught with difficulties, despite the attention it has received in literature. Although there are examples where IPP reaped significant benefits, also been shown impede team performance. We demonstrate that a key cause failure can attributed conflicts based on threats professional identity, and provide insight into how identity faultlines have potential activated conflict induced when is differential...

In Australia, as in many other developed countries, the current healthcare environment is characterised by increasing differentiation and patient acuity, aging of patients workforce, staff shortages a varied professional skills mix, this particularly so rural areas.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) as the most common healthcare-associated accounts for up to 36% of all infections. Catheter-associated urinary (CAUTI) 80% these. In many instances indwelling catheter (IDC) insertions may be unjustified or inappropriate, creating potentially avoidable and significant patient distress, embarrassment, discomfort, pain activity restrictions, together with substantial care burden, costs hospitalisation. Multifaceted interventions combining best practice guidelines...

Transformational leadership has consistently been argued to enhance diverse team outcomes, yet related research generated ambiguous findings. We suggest that effectiveness is enhanced in interprofessional teams when transformational leaders engender dynamics are characterized by motivation and openness diversity. Drawing on the mood-as-information perspective, we argue negative affective tone moderates impact of these mediators effectiveness. Further, this moderating role such conditions...

Interprofessional teams form the basis of many health care problem-solving and decision-making mechanisms. However, more than 70% medical errors are attributable to dysfunctional team dynamics. The recent suggestion that complex nonmedical suggests we require sophisticated knowledge dynamics processes.The mechanisms interprofessional focusing on affective, behavioral, cognitive effects explored. We argue composition impacts by increasing likelihood affective conflict, which mediates a...
