Abstract

Underpinned by increasing healthcare complexity and ongoing pressures to control the cost of healthcare, governments are increasingly calling for improved health service delivery models. A public policy paradigm of partnership-based, collaborative interprofessional working is central to revised models of health service delivery. Collaborative activity and service re-design do not occur by chance. They are complex and multi-faceted. Increasingly, calls for collaborative style health service re-design activities are being translated to a need to agree on a clear set of interprofessional competencies and develop a culture of interprofessional practice (IPP) across the sector. This report summarizes the requirements for developing a culture of interprofessional practice within the context of Australian healthcare reforms. It also highlights the role of well-developed interprofessional competency frameworks to support envisaged changes in practice. The report expands the discussion in this area by referring to the work of two other nations with prior developments in interprofessional workplace development and reform.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 April 2014.
All research outputs
#7,002,244
of 23,577,761 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Interprofessional Care
#442
of 1,152 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#82,632
of 311,973 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Interprofessional Care
#18
of 36 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,577,761 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 70th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,152 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 60% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 311,973 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 36 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
