Abstract: This review examines the benefits of leveraging healthcare technicians' expertise through collaborative practices, focusing on improved treatment outcomes and continuity of care. By analyzing current literature and best practices, we provide an overview of integrating technicians into healthcare teams and its impact on patient care, professional satisfaction, and healthcare system efficiency. The paper discusses improved outcomes in medication management, patient safety, intensive care, and chronic disease management, highlighting studies demonstrating significant reductions in adverse events and improved therapeutic outcomes. We explore how technicians enhance continuity of care through bridging transitions, supporting long-term disease management, and providing patient education. The review also addresses challenges in implementing collaborative models, including role definition, organizational culture, and education needs. Future research directions are identified, such as comprehensive outcome measurements and innovative technology applications. This paper argues that fully integrating technicians' expertise in collaborative approaches can significantly improve healthcare delivery, patient outcomes, and system efficiency.
