Abstract
Even though previous research has defined the needed attributes, little is known about the required practices to achieve and sustain successful healthcare collaboration. This study aims to fill this gap by studying this specific collaboration using the strategy-as-practice perspective. Using this perspective, three expected best practices that are implied by the presence of multiple indicators can be elaborated. Two other main factors can be developed as well. The research uses a qualitative case study design embracing the analysis of documents and a set of interviews among project leaders, geriatrics and management in home care organizations as representatives (N=12). The analysis shows the expected best practices and factors indeed can be seen as best practices and main factors for a successful healthcare collaboration in the light of the strategy-as-practice concept. The most important aspects of a successful healthcare collaboration turn out to be: collective action, interaction, governance, interdependency and trust.
Keywords: healthcare collaboration, Transmural Care Bridge (TCB), strategy-as-practice, best practices, collective action, interaction, governance, trust and interdependency.
