How can frontline managers demonstrate leadership in enabling interprofessional practice?
Interprofessional practice has been proposed to address many of the current health system challenges. Little attention has been paid to the role of frontline managers in supporting effective interprofessional practice. Qualitative interviews suggest that frontline managers can demonstrate leadership in enabling interprofessional practice by creating an organizational culture for interprofessional practice, eliminating barriers to collaboration, and acting as role models and facilitators. New management approaches may be needed to meet these demands.
