Abstract
Emergency services face resource limitations that are exacerbated by the unpredictability and severity of cases. In this context, interprofessional collaboration has gained prominence due to its potential to deal with unpredictability and facilitate the articulation of professional knowledge. The study aimed to analyze the level of interprofessional collaboration in transfer of pre-hospital care through the typology of interprofessional collaboration. This is a case study, carried out in a mobile emergency care service (serviço de atendimento móvel de urgência - SAMU) and in three public services. Data were collected through systematic non-participant observation, document analysis, and semi-structured interviews. There was evidence of interprofessional collaboration in development (level 2), with targeted professional actions being mainly managerial leadership attitudes. Challenges are related to systematization of integration activities between services. Interprofessional collaboration in development indicates that some interprofessional collaboration actions are already being carried out with discrete transformations in professional practices.
