Overview

CIHC
• CIHC believes that patients receive better care:– When health providers from all health disciplines work
together– When the patient (and their family) is a vital and
engaged member of the healthcare team– When health providers, patients and families learn and
work together for the benefit of the patient
• Our goal is to share this knowledge with health system planners, health providers and educators to ensure interprofessional collaboration is a key part of policymaking and curriculum development
