Interprofessional Education: A Reform Plan for Collaborative

Health‐care professionals come across several situations on a routine basis, wherein the lack of collaboration between different health professions is apparent. The focus of this paper is on revealing the effect of lack of interprofessional collaboration on the quality of patient care and safety of the patient. One example of the situation where interdisciplinary role can be beneficial is the association of severe advanced periodontitis and the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases. It is a possibility that poor oral hygiene and oral health neglect if altered during early stages of disease may lead to arrest of problems associated with cardiovascular problems.
