The Convergence of Health Disciplines: An Integrated Framework Combining Pharmacy, Radiology, Laboratory Science, Nursing, Dietetics, General Practice, and Preventive Medicine in Comprehensive Healthcare

Abstract

The complexities of modern healthcare demand a multi-disciplinary approach to achieve optimal patient outcomes. This paper proposes an integrated framework that converges key health disciplines—pharmacy, radiology, laboratory science, nursing, dietetics, general practice, and preventive medicine—into a cohesive model for delivering comprehensive care. We argue that such integration can improve patient health outcomes, enhance preventive care, and streamline treatment strategies. By outlining the roles of each discipline within this framework, we highlight the importance of collaboration, data sharing, and patient-centered approaches in achieving holistic healthcare delivery. This model represents a forward-thinking approach to overcoming fragmentation in healthcare systems and positioning patients at the center of their care.
