The CIHC works at the edges and interfaces of health, education and the professions to discover and share promising practices to promote interprofessional education and collaboration in areas that will enhance patient care. CIHC is the hub for Canadian interprofessional activity.
"Health care delivery models of the future clearly envision teams of health care providers working together to meet patient needs." - Health Renewal in Canada: Accelerating Change, Health Council of Canada (page 36, January 2005)
As a Canada-wide initiative, the CIHC developed a start-up structure that ensures all interprofessional projects across the country have a shared venue for exchanging ideas and promising practices related to interprofessional education, collaborative practice and patient-centred care. As well as linking projects together, the CIHC structure allows us to share knowledge and information with those who can benefit from it.
The CIHC has created a Steering Committee and several sub-committees to support the core activities of the Collaborative. While there are overlapping areas of interest between committees, each has a specific mandate and is working under the leadership of the Secretariat and Steering Committee to achieve their goals and advance the CIHC message. NaHSSA (National Health Sciences Students’ Association) also plays a significant role in the work of the Collaborative and brings its own membership and structure to the CIHC.
Funded by Health Canada, the CIHC is accountable to the Office of Nursing Policy. CIHC’s responsibility to Health Canada includes quarterly reports and a comprehensive evaluation of the initiative. Please see Accountability for more information.
"I’ve realized that interprofessional collaboration means being able to go to colleagues with questions, challenges, wonderings, stresses… to debrief and say this is what is happening and get feedback and support." - Health Care Provider, Nova Scotia
