Abstract

Background: Nutrition management plays a critical role in healthcare, particularly in addressing chronic diseases, malnutrition, and enhancing patients’ quality of life. The complexity of nutritional problems necessitates synergistic interprofessional collaboration (IPC) involving physicians, nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals to deliver integrated and patient-centered care. Objective: This scoping review aims to identify, map, and analyze innovations in interprofessional collaboration programs related to nutrition management, and to provide a conceptual framework for future development of health policy and clinical practice. Methods: The review followed Arksey and O’Malley’s methodological framework and PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Literature searches were conducted in PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science for studies published between 2020–2025 using keywords such as “interprofessional collaboration,” “nutrition management,” and “innovation.” Thirteen eligible studies were thematically analyzed according to innovation type, involved professions, measured outcomes, barriers, and facilitators. Results: Four main themes were identified: (1) Digital technology integration enhancing coordination and personalized nutrition interventions; (2) Interprofessional training (IPE) improving collaboration competencies and role clarity; (3) Integrated team models promoting holistic, patient-centered approaches; and (4) Community and patient empowerment supporting sustainable nutrition outcomes. Barriers included professional cultural differences, resource limitations, and fragmented communication systems. Facilitators included structured IPE programs, supportive leadership, and digital adoption. Conclusion: Innovations in interprofessional collaboration substantially improve the quality and outcomes of nutrition management. Strengthening digital integration, structured IPE training, and supportive policy frameworks are essential for sustainable collaboration. Moreover, fostering healthcare entrepreneurship offers potential for scalable, technology-driven nutrition programs that can advance global health outcomes.
