Deficiencies in collaboration and communication between healthcare professionals have a negative impact on the provision of healthcare and on patient outcomes. Policymakers and healthcare managers, as well as nurses and physicians, are aware of this and have a growing interest in improving these relationships (Morguelan, 2013).
