Adopting tailored interprofessional protocols in general practice: barriers, strategies, and lessons learned from a CFIR-guided qualitative study

The transition towards protocol-based interprofessional care is a complex but mandatory evolution in primary care. While practice-tailored protocols can enhance efficiency and collaboration, their success depends on a structured implementation strategy, effective practice management, and team alignment. Addressing challenges such as gaining trust and provider resistance are critical. Future research should explore scalable support mechanisms and policy adaptations to facilitate widespread adoption of interprofessional care models in primary care settings.
