22). According to McCaffrey et al. (2011) review of literature, collaborative approach is set to create a “positive work environment, decreases costs, improves job satisfaction among nurses, and improves patient care” (p. 294).

Moreover, Lancaster et al. (2015) found that efficient communication and self-motivated collaboration, improved patient outcomes, while poor communication and collaboration were associated with negative consequences such as medical mistakes (p. 276).

Collaboration as defined on Wikipedia “is a process defined by the recursive interaction of knowledge and mutual learning between two or more people who are working together, in an intellectual endeavor, toward a common goal” (Wikipedia, 2007). Collaboration is a complex process that requires knowledge sharing and joint responsibility for patient care. Sometimes it occurs within long-term relationships between health professionals. On other occasions, collaboration may involve short encounters. In these settings, there is no second chance to collaborate effectively.
