Whether collaboration is between and among fellow nurses, among other health care professionals, or with other local or global organiza- tions and partnerships, nurses are always uniquely positioned to play a significant role. Interprofessional communication and collaboration is stipulated as one of the core essentials in the baccalaureate and ad- vanced practice education of nurses (AACN, 2008; AACN, 2006). Collaboration is even clearly implied in one of the recommendations of The Future of Nursing Report (IOM, 2010) that “nurses should be full partners, with physicians and other health professionals, in redesigning health care.” Petri (2010) dissected interdisciplinary collaboration in a concept analysis using Rodgers’ frame- work to identify its attributes, antecedents, and consequences (Rodgers, 2000). Attributes are those fea- tures and characteristics that describe the actual and real definition of collaboration. Petri (2010, p. 75) found three attributes of collaboration from her analysis of the literature – problem-focused process, sharing, and working together. Collaboration is described to be a process that is evolving, changing, and emerging in response to a critical situation or problem that is patient or health-care related. There is shar- ing of objectives, responsibility, decision-making, and power. There is clearly equal involvement among all the participants from other disciplines, with shared goals, visions, and intentions. Working together implies cooperation among each discipline and recognition of each other’s unique contribution to the common goal. Without the other’s participation, achieving the desired outcome will not be possible. Antecedents are characteristics and conditions that should first be at hand for collaboration to exist. Petri (2010) found many antecedents for collaboration from her review of the literature, such as inter- professional education, role awareness, interpersonal relationship skills, deliberate action, and support (pp. 76-78). Interprofessional education starts early in the acculturation stages to the discipline. There is also role awareness and understanding of each other’s unique roles and contributions into achieving desired patient care outcomes. The component aspects of interpersonal relationship skills refer to mutual respect and trust, and effective communication. A good working relationship is tethered on being able to understand, believe, and value each other, and the communication between the disciplines has to also be respectable, transparent, readily understood and straightforward. Deliberate action is an obvious require- ment where all involved
