Using the proximate determinants framework, discuss the relative impacts of one of the following reproductive health issues: contraception, breastfeeding, abortion, sexual activity and infecundity on total fertility rates in Latin America versus Africa from both a family-centered and systems-based perspective. What are the policy implications of these findings? Provide a real-world example of this issue and explain how the policy impacts the low-income population. Similarly, explain why Japan, which has a relatively low contraceptive prevalence rate, has such a low total fertility rate.

In the past, a collaboration between doctors, nurses, and other healthcare practitioners was not the norm. Interprofessional collaboration has the potential to reduce medical errors, improve care quality, and satisfy the requirements of a wide range of people. According to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, health care professionals must collaborate with providers from other fields to share information, conduct quality and safety checks, and assist patients in understanding and adhering to treatment regimens. Research has long suggested that collaboration across health care professions improves coordination, communication and, ultimately, the quality and safety of patient care. There is growing evidence that assigning teams of doctors to coordinate care can assist patient-centred, higher-quality care to an increasingly diverse patient group, as well as can reduce medical errors and enhance quality (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, 2011). Educating doctors, nurses, and other health professionals together can help to increase interprofessional collaboration.

Interprofessional collaboration in healthcare serves to lower healthcare costs by preventing prescription errors, improving the patient experience, and delivering improved patient outcomes (Tiger Connect, 2020). It also helps hospitals save money by shoring up workflow redundancies and operational inefficiencies. According to a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation study of 20 hospitals, by improving the interprofessional collaboration model between its nurses and physicians, one hospital cut its fall rate in half, decreased average length-of-stay by 0.6 days, increased annualized bed turn by 20%, and increased discharges before noon by 20%. At another hospital in the study, interprofessional collaboration significantly improved surgical start times and prevented delays that led to 700 wasted hours over the previous four years (Tiger Connect, 2020). Tiger text is an example of a current trend that has altered the way interprofessional teams interact. Tiger Connects’ encrypted messaging tool improves healthcare teamwork and communication, saving time, money, and, most importantly, lives.
