With an ever\u2010increasing number of elderly patients with multimorbidity and a shortage of healthcare professionals, primary care must innovatively organise their services to offer more sustainable healthcare services. Organising healthcare services in a community virtual ward has been found to improve the quality of life for vulnerable elderly populations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title><jats:p>The aim of the study was to explore healthcare professionals' experiences of interprofessional collaboration in care for patients with multimorbidity in a community virtual ward in the Norwegian context.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Focus group interviews were conducted in this qualitative exploratory study. A purposive sample of 17 healthcare professionals working in a community virtual ward in Norway was interviewed. Data were analysed using thematic analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study results show that healthcare professionals recognise a need for patient involvement in the community virtual ward to offer more sustainable healthcare services at home. Furthermore, the results show how healthcare professionals experience the use of assessment tools and whiteboard meetings as useful tools for facilitating interprofessional collaboration. The study results also describe how interprofessional and holistic follow\u2010up with patients with multimorbidity contributes to increased focus on health promotion in the community virtual ward.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>We found that interprofessional collaboration in community virtual wards may be a sustainable way of organising healthcare services for patients with multimorbidity living at home. Interprofessional collaboration with a patient\u2010centred and health promotion approach, seems to increase the quality of the follow\u2010up for patients with multimorbidity living at home. Additionally, mutual interprofessional trust and respect seems to be essential for making use of the unique expertise of different professions in the follow\u2010up for patients with multimorbidity. In the future, both the patient's voice and opinion of their next of kin should be considered in the development of more sustainable homecare services.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/scs.13152","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,30]],"date-time":"2023-01-30T07:34:00Z","timestamp":1675064040000},"page":"677-686","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Interprofessional collaboration in a community virtual ward: A focus group study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"37","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9195-3442","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Trude Fl\u00f8ystad","family":"Eines","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Molde University College  Molde Norway"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1139-5947","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marianne","family":"Storm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Molde University College  Molde Norway"},{"name":"Stavanger University  Stavanger Norway"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3748-6406","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cecilie Katrine Utheim","family":"Gr\u00f8nvik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Molde University College  Molde Norway"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization.World Report on Ageing and Health 2022.http:\/\/apps.who.int\/iris\/bitstream\/10665\/186463\/1\/9789240694811_eng.pdf"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.healthpol.2017.06.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.healthpol.2021.01.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/geriatrics5040085"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/hsc.12731"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","volume-title":"Arbeidsmarkedet for helsepersonell fram mot 2035.
