Multidisciplinary Collaboration and Collaboration Overload in Healthcare Services: Literature Review and Institutional Implications

Abstract

The diversification of patient needs and the increasing complexity of care processes in healthcare services have made it necessary for professionals from different disciplines to work together. The aim of this review is to systematically examine the effects of interdisciplinary collaboration in healthcare services on the quality of patient care, employee experience, and organizational outcomes. National and international studies published between 2016 and 2025 were evaluated using a literature review method. The review focused on the contributions of collaboration to healthcare services, its effects on employees, and the potential negative consequences of the burden of collaboration. The sources examined indicate that trust, open communication, role clarity, and managerial support are crucial for successful collaboration. However, placing employees under excessive communication and coordination burdens carries the risk of collaboration fatigue. In this context, it is important for healthcare institutions to take strategic measures to develop safe and sustainable collaboration strategies, reduce excessive collaboration burdens on employees, and create a sustainable supportive culture.
