'Gearing Up' to improve interprofessional collaboration in primary care: a systematic review and conceptual framework.

The findings suggest that individual IPCTs have opportunities to improve collaboration regardless of the organizational or policy context within which they operate.

Few studies assessed associations between collaboration and macro and meso factors, or between factors across levels, which are priorities for future research.
