How patients experience nurse-doctor collaborative care at specialist clinics: A qualitative study
Patients' experience of IPC at specialist clinics varied depending on patients' perceived healthcare needs. To optimize patients' receptivity to IPC, the provision of collaborative care should be calibrated to fulfill different patients' perceived and actual healthcare needs. Doing so may optimize the value of collaborative care to patients. Further enhancements to patients' receptivity would involve the intentional effort to prepare patients for collaborative practice.
