Boundary crossers, communities, and health: Exploring the role of rural
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-16, 23:17 authored by Susan KilpatrickSusan Kilpatrick, Cheers, B, Gilles, M, Taylor, JBoundary crossers understand the culture and language of community and health service domains and have the trust of both. Rural health professionals living within the communities they serve are ideally placed to harness community capacity so as to influence community-level determinants of health. We analyse five case studies of rural health professionals acting as boundary crossers against indicators of capacity for communities and external agents such as health services working in partnership. A more explicit evidence base for inclusion of community health development in the jobs of rural health professionals is needed. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
