Analyzing the studies provided, they argue the benefits of collaborative practice and leadership, which would make health education programs more useful and create better patient success and health outcomes. The factors contributing to the success of interprofessional collaboration as a team were good communication, mutual respect, and shared decision-making. In addition, transformational leadership styles were effective leaders of interprofessional collaboration.Conclusions:This review emphasizes the importance of interprofessional collaboration and leadership in effectively integrating into the educational health structure.
