Administration

Healthcare in Qatar continues to grow which has led to more spending. The number of healthcare workers has reached over 11,000. As the development of the healthcare system in Qatar grows, the administration is also undergoing improvements to offer a more global standard of patient care. Incorporating Interprofessional Education (IPE) the administrative members learn to be more collaborative with each other. After IPE, the overall care for the patient was improved and the hospital personnel became more efficient. Existing healthcare professionals in Qatar will learn and implement IPE over time; new healthcare professionals will learn IPE before becoming licensed.

Cultural norms in Qatar make it difficult for women to become healthcare workers. Men in Qatar, husbands and fathers, are more reluctant of the women in their lives to pursue nursing. However, those who enter the nursing field, nearly 93% are very satisfied with their career choice. Although satisfied, the burnout rate is 12.6% with higher female burnouts than male.

Development

In June 2009, in order to hone in on collaboration amongst healthcare professionals, the Qatar Interprofessional Health Council was formed. This would lead to the implementation of Interprofessional Education (IPE) into existing healthcare programs at various schools.
