Abstract: The increasing complexity of healthcare needs requires care models capable of overcoming fragmented care and promoting an approach centered on the needs of individuals, families, and communities. In this context, multidisciplinary practice and interprofessional collaboration constitute fundamental strategies for strengthening comprehensive healthcare. This study aimed to discuss the contributions of interprofessional practice to comprehensive care and the improvement of healthcare quality. This is a descriptive theoretical reflection with a qualitative approach, based on scientific literature and institutional documents related to interprofessional collaboration, integrated care, and the social determinants of health. The discussion highlights that integration among different professional disciplines promotes a broader understanding of the health-disease process, strengthens communication among healthcare professionals, and contributes to the development of more comprehensive, person-centered care plans. However, challenges related to communication, the definition of professional roles, hierarchical relationships, and organizational conditions may still hinder the implementation of collaborative practices. It is concluded that interprofessional practice represents an important instrument for improving healthcare systems and should be strengthened through interprofessional education, participatory management, and the organization of healthcare services guided by comprehensiveness and continuity of care.
