摘要：Background: Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) is a key element of an efficient healthcare system. Are healthcare systems structured to facilitate IPC? Methods and findings: Fourteen jurisdictions were chosen and researched using legal and social sciences databases. Generally, there was a lack of understanding of the legal principles in literature on policy and IPC. That aside, every jurisdic- tion had acts and regulation specific to health professions. There were numerous pathways to professional regulation and no clear consensus. Regarding IPC pres- ence in legal text, there were two main integration pathways: professional-based and organization-based approaches. Conclusion: Although the practice of IPC is important, its presence in regulation is still discrete. If the aim is to strengthen IPC, there must be more socio-legal research to properly address and inform policymakers.
