      Through a process guided by principles of consensus building, 21 the IPC working group members grouped the list of evidence-based enablers by frequency and theme. This yielded 29 key enablers that were vetted for organizational relevance and alignment against hospital strategic plans. The key enablers underwent a second thematic grouping by the IPC working group who selected and synthesized the set of enablers based on their diverse expertise, knowledge, and experience to construct six core competencies.

      Interprofessional collaboration not only improves patient outcomes but also enhances workforce satisfaction and reduces burnout. Research suggests collaborative environments improve team cohesion and reduce professional conflict (Hall, 2005). This reinforces that collaboration is essential to sustainable healthcare systems.

      A 10-member IPC working group comprised of representatives from interprofessional education, professional practice, and organizational development and leadership was established. The IPC working group executed each step of the development process and led the stakeholder consultation process. A larger stakeholder consultation group was established which included clinical and non-clinical staff representing a variety of roles and expertise. The stakeholder consultation process included distribution of materials for review and feedback to directors of operation, patient care managers, nurse practitioners, health professions leaders, advanced practice nurses, clinical educators, and patient and student representation, as well as the Interprofessional Education Committee and the Education Advisory Committee.

      Professionalism is foundational to effective interprofessional collaboration. The framework emphasizes mutual respect, accountability, ethical behavior, and clearly defined roles.

      According to the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC, 2016), core competencies include values/ethics, roles and responsibilities, communication, and teamwork. The framework presented aligns with these competencies, demonstrating that professionalism extends beyond individual conduct and becomes a shared team responsibility.

      The development of core competencies for interprofessional collaboration at Sunnybrook was part of a wider IPC strategy to become a system-wide leader in advancing a culture of interprofessionalism and foster the highest quality, compassionate and person-centred care. 20 A collaborative bottom-up approach was taken to the development and implementation of the framework to optimize acceptance and adoption of the competencies by the various clinical and non-clinical teams

      The scenarios attribute several outcomes to interprofessional collaboration, including improved patient safety, clearer communication, enhanced role clarity, and coordinated care delivery.

      Team-based care has been shown to reduce medical errors and strengthen shared decision-making (Reeves et al., 2017). The article also addresses barriers such as hierarchical structures and communication breakdowns by emphasizing structured competencies and shared leadership approaches.

      The framework was developed using a comprehensive literature search and consensus building by a multi-stakeholder working group and supported by a broad consultation process that included patient representation, organizational development and leadership, and human resources.

      The authors demonstrate proper plagiarism avoidance by citing research when integrating prior findings into their framework. Rather than copying exact wording, they paraphrase and attribute ideas appropriately.

      To avoid plagiarism, writers must quote directly with citation, paraphrase in their own words with citation, or summarize with attribution (APA, 2020). This article models academic integrity, which reflects professionalism in both scholarship and healthcare practice.

      Many organizations have adopted existing interprofessional frameworks that define the competencies of individual health professionals that are required to meet practice standards and advance interprofessional goals.

      In this section, the authors paraphrase prior research by restating definitions of interprofessional collaboration in new wording while maintaining the same level of detail. Paraphrasing keeps the meaning but changes the language (American Psychological Association [APA], 2020).

      The article also summarizes broader findings when it condenses multiple studies into key themes about team competencies. Summarizing reduces detailed information into core concepts. The distinction matters because paraphrasing engages closely with a specific idea, while summarizing synthesizes larger bodies of research.
