Preconditions Contributing to Interprofessional Collaboration in the Management of COPD in Primary Care: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) has been proven effective for COPD patients, however an overview on how to develop and sustain IPC in primary care is lacking. The objective of this review was to identify preconditions for IPC in primary care COPD management.
