Successful collaborations are partnerships where care planning, coordination and provision are performed in care environments where:
- Mutual respect dominates;
- Providers routinely share knowledge; and
- Policies and procedures clarify the roles of each collaborating party; but,
- Much unwritten, and importantly, hospice presence, consistency and communication are key – a customer service approach facilitates success.
