7 Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative Competency Framework for Advancing Collaboration
The Competency Framework for Advancing Collaboration (CIHC, 2024) integrates the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values that together shape the judgments and behaviours needed for collaborative practice. These are encapsulated within the six overarching competency domains, making up the framework illustrated below. The domains do not exist in isolation but need to be considered within the context of the care and service setting, health condition and system complexity, while upholding values of inclusion, access and equity.
