Abstract

This paper explores the implementation of an interprofessional care coordination model in an ambulatory setting in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, aimed at enhancing patient experiences. It highlights the importance of interprofessional collaboration, patient-centered care, and effective care coordination in improving patient satisfaction and outcomes. The proposed model involves establishing an interprofessional care team, adopting a patient-centered approach, streamlining care coordination processes, emphasizing patient education and
engagement, and incorporating continuous quality improvement strategies. Key
implementation strategies include stakeholder engagement, workforce training, standardized protocols, technology integration, and robust evaluation frameworks. While challenges such as resistance to change, interprofessional collaboration barriers, resource constraints, and
cultural considerations are anticipated, the model represents a significant opportunity to improve patient experiences, enhance care coordination, and optimize ambulatory care delivery. Through a systematic and evidence-based approach, active stakeholder
engagement, and a commitment to cultural sensitivity, the interprofessional care coordination model has the potential to set new standards for patient-centered care in Riyadh.
