title: Interprofessional collaborative care skills for the frontline nurse.
abstract: Patients in the hospital setting are acutely ill and many have complications from chronic illnesses. Their care is complex and reimbursed on a value-based payment system. Quality indicators for reimbursement are evidence-based benchmarks that must be met for full financial reimbursement. High-functioning interprofessional collaborative care is required for patients to have positive outcomes and for achievement of high scores on patient satisfaction surveys. This article overviews the charge for transformation, explains the concept of interprofessional collaborative care, provides examples of interdisciplinary teams in practice for application, and provides resources to improve collaborative care.
