      ab: Team‐based collaborative models utilise a broad range of healthcare clinicians that practise at the top of their licence, while proactively redistributing shared work through task‐shifting, offering meaningful ways to contribute to patient care while ensuring high‐quality outcomes. A mental health hospital in Canada embarked on a Collaborative Patient Care (CPC) initiative to optimise skill and skill mix of interdisciplinary inpatient teams. Implementation science, specifically the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation and Sustainment (EPIS) Framework, was utilised to guide the project. Following qualitative and quantitative syntheses, analyses and stakeholder engagement, CPC re‐imagined team‐based care by restructuring one clinical team of recreational therapy and introduced 26 new positions to infuse across the organisation, including new disciplines of rehabilitation assistant, geriatric physiotherapist, occupational therapists and bachelor of social work roles, while recruiting for more child and youth workers, recreational therapists, secretaries, psychologists, behavioural therapists and personal support workers. Scopes of work were defined to support differences (i.e., between Registered Nurses (RN) and Registered Practical Nurses (RPN)) while team responsibilities were designed to support shared practices. An educational upskilling plan was implemented to support unregulated and regulated clinicians to perform at the level of the new model. At the time of this paper, CPC is immersed in its Sustainment stage. CPC represents a comprehensive plan aimed at enhancing patient care through service efficiencies and optimising resource allocation. It is anticipated that the implementation of CPC will contribute to a shared vision for a better future where patients (and families) receive the right care at the right time by the right clinician.
