📢In 2016, the National Academies of Practice (NAP) proclaimed April as National Interprofessional Healthcare Month to highlight that quality, safe, and effective care is achieved through collaborative, multidisciplinary teams. The proclamation emphasizes that diverse expertise improves health outcomes and that care begins with prevention.

Key Points of the Proclamation:

✏️Collaborative Care: Quality healthcare is provided by teams of professionals from multiple disciplines working together.

✏️Diverse Expertise: The complexity of modern health demands the combined knowledge and skills of various healthcare professionals.

✏️Focus on Prevention: Primary care starts with health promotion, wellness, and disease prevention.

✏️Improved Outcomes: Interprofessional collaboration strengthens health systems, enhances safety, and improves patient-centered care.

The NAP continues to honor this initiative by promoting awareness of interprofessional practice, research, and policy throughout April.
