Partnership between clinicians and scientists raises the clinical relevance and rigor of research on improvement strategies. Through collaborative efforts the priorities of clinicians are served by the evolving research enterprise as we evaluate improvement strategies for uptake and sustainment. Unfortunately collaboration does not come easily as silos exist in healthcare.<\/p>\n

In a previous article for the\u00a0ISRN Network News<\/a>1<\/sup><\/em>, Dr. Suzanne Beyea describes the siloed nature of the healthcare profession. \u201cWe tend to just stay within our organizations, within our fields, within our per\u00adspectives. This makes it challenging to offer the best quality of care to patients or even to know what constitutes the best quality of care. We really need a circle so that practice informs theory and vice versa, rather than only staying in our parallel worlds,\u201d says Beyea.<\/p>\n

The disconnect in priorities between clinicians and researchers is a challenge to rapid transformation. In the same discussion1<\/sup>, Dr. Michael Parchman added that \u201cA more participatory model of research allows academics to go to clinicians and say, \u2018Here\u2019s the evidence we have so far on what constitutes the right treatment at the right time for the right patient.\u00a0 How would this work in your setting? What would you need in order to do this?\u2019 Then de\u00adsign a research project together to track the results and adjust the theory.\u201d This type of collaboration makes more sense and would not only generate effective improvement strategies, but would also help spread\u00a0these strategies.<\/p>\n

Part of the solution is for clinicians and scientists to develop new competencies in team collaboration.\u00a0 Principles from the Science of Team Science helps research teams overcome challenges in collaboration. The principles are woven into the studies undertaken by members of the ISRN and supported by ISRN resources.\u00a0 Examples of resources include\u00a0learning modules\u00a0on Team Science and an evidence-based guidebook on\u00a0collaboration2<\/sup>. Team Science is worth time and effort because transdisciplinary collaboration has been shown to increase efficiency and innovativeness. Through these strategies the siloed climate of healthcare can change and yield transformative change.<\/p>\n
