Relational work in implementation: a qualitative analysis of intra- and inter- professional strategies leveraged in genomic multidisciplinary teams.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Relationships are foundational to successful implementation of innovations in healthcare. In genomic medicine, multidisciplinary teams with good communication are most effective to provide safe genomic care; however, working together could be challenging due to the distinct work culture, worldviews, and clinical approaches held by different professional groups. In this paper, we explored the various strategies used to build relationships and foster collaboration as part of a Change program that supported the use of genomic testing and counselling in specialty areas.

Methods

Qualitative interviews were conducted with 36 participants across 3 professional categories (genetic counsellors, medical specialists, and nurses/allied health workers) to ask about their exper
