| Abstract: | In this scoping review, we examined the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing interprofessional education and collaborative practice (IPECP) within healthcare settings. Drawing on the Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative "Competency Framework," the review investigated AI's capacity to support essential IPECP competencies, including team communication, relationship-focused care, role clarification, and collaborative leadership. A comprehensive literature search identified 15 studies published from 2010 onwards that explored various AI applications, such as virtual reality simulations, clinical decision support systems, and machine learning algorithms, aimed at fostering interprofessional teamwork and improving healthcare outcomes. Key findings suggest that AI could facilitate effective team communication, real-time decision-making, and interprofessional education by enabling consistent, evidence-based recommendations and personalized treatment plans. However, several barriers to AI adoption were noted, including clinician mistrust, data security concerns, and challenges integrating AI within existing healthcare infrastructure. These findings highlight the potential for AI to advance IPECP but underscore the need for further research explicitly aligned with targeted IPECP competencies. Addressing these barriers will be critical to integrating AI into standard team-based healthcare practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
