Interprofessional collaboration (IC) in healthcare is a process by which professionals from different disciplines collaborate to provide an integrated and cohesive approach to patient care. The Lesław A. Paga Foundation for many years supports the idea of cooperation between professional, promoting it among representatives of public and social life in Poland and Eastern Europe. The foundation's project dedicated to health care is Healthcare Leaders. Thanks to the program, participants of Healthcare Leaders have a chance to experience IC under the conditions of Polish healthcare system. A self-administered, anonymous questionnaire was distributed to 90 participants of The Healthcare Leaders project in November 2015. Comparisons were performed using e.g. chi-square tests and descriptive statistics. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 20.0. The response rate was 42,2%. More than 80% of respondents are familiar with the concept of interprofessional collaboration in healthcare system. 36 respondents (94,7%) also agree that IC among healthcare practitioners may help to generate financial savings in the Polish healthcare system. Accordingly 34 respondents to implement IC to the healthcare system necessary is mutual respect (89,5%). This point of view is shared mainly by the people who has medical or pharmaceutical professional education (p<0,05)(original abstract)
