Exploring the Integration of Nursing, Radiology, and Medical Secretarial Support: Review and Future Opportunities in Emergency Care within Saudi Arabia

Abstract

Healthcare encompasses a diverse array of processes, systems, and institutional structures that aim at delivering and providing medical services to individuals, families, and communities. It's the integration of these systems that will determine whether the care provided is beneficial or detrimental to its recipients. Oftentimes, interprofessional collaboration is discussed within the context of the medical field, and studies are conducted to determine the levels of success (or failure) healthcare professionals have when attempting to collaborate with one another and provide care (M Al-Wathinani et al., 2024). However, it has been argued that nursing, radiology, and medical secretarial support need to be integrated, tested, and analysed. In this case, such integration will be explored within the context of emergency care in Saudi Arabia. A wealth of knowledge and information could potentially provide new perspectives on collaboration, patient outcomes, and propose avenues for future practice and policy within this emerging field of study.
