Healthcare is in a constant state of change and evolution driven by a multitude of complex factors and interactions. Consequently, organizations, teams and individuals in healthcare have to habitually realign their working relationships. Furthermore, research has shown that "working together" relationships fail in the absence of a defined framework. In this research, a novel framework and a tool kit for working together have been developed and evaluated. The framework has a formal process to articulate the intended purpose/outcome, clearly align the type of working relationship with the purpose and identify the barriers and facilitators to working relationships in healthcare.
医疗保健处于持续变化和演进的状态，这是由众多复杂因素和相互作用驱动的。因此，医疗保健领域的组织、团队和个人必须习惯性地重新调整他们的工作关系。此外，研究表明，在缺乏明确框架的情况下，“合作”关系会失败。在这项研究中，已经开发并评估了一个用于合作的新颖框架和一套工具包。该框架有一个正式流程，用于阐明预期目的/结果，使工作关系的类型与目的明确对齐，并识别医疗保健中工作关系的障碍和促进因素。
