Synopsis: This is an Open Access book. Interprofessional communication remains both under-theorized and under-researched in healthcare contexts. This book aims to fill that gap by offering practitioners, policy makers, interprofessional curriculum builders, and students in the health professions a broadened theoretical understanding and rich empirical examples of interprofessional communication across a range of health and social care contexts. Importantly, this means opening the black box of what it means for interprofessional collaboration to be “effective,” in particular, for complex, collective practices that rely on shared meanings and accountabilities. Divided into three parts, the book brings together the practical and conceptual expertise of scholars and practitioners from the fields of communication, interprofessional education, health and human sciences, and healthcare management.
