Interdisciplinary Collaboration in Public Health: Insights from Pharmacy, Radiology, Social Services, Sterilization, Catheterization, Surgery, and Medical Coding
Main Article Content
Abstract
Many of today’s public health issues are so complex that they require the collaboration of professionals from many different disciplines. These disciplines, such as pharmacy, radiology, social services, surgery, and others, contribute unique components necessary to address the issue at hand. Research in individual aspects has greatly contributed to efforts in these areas individually, and interdisciplinary collaborations are becoming valuable as the world grows more connected. To encourage and promote the collaboration of these different departments and fields in the hospital, it is necessary for hospital administrators to see the clinical and social value in interdisciplinary collaborations and, ultimately, collaborate in theory. While this might seem to be an obvious point, it does not happen as frequently in practice as one might expect.
