Biblical Foundations for Interprofessional Collaboration in Nursing.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Interprofessional collaboration is an essential competency for nurses in today's complex healthcare environment. The Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) four competencies of values, teamwork, roles, and communication provide the organizing framework for effective interprofessional collaboration. In this article, the four competencies are used to explore biblical underpinnings and principles of collaboration for Christian nurses, showing how interprofessional collaboration helps achieve one's faith-based and professional commitments.
