Why Focus on Role Clarification? Interprofessional collaboration requires communication between professionals, common goal setting, problem solving skills, and a clear understanding of each member’s role on the team. Role clarification among healthcare professionals is uniquely important as several professions’ roles can overlap and potentially cause conflict. Clarifying each member’s role helps reduce intra-team conflict, mitigate role ambiguity, dissolve professional boundaries, and build trusting relationships. | ||
