Roles of Healthcare Professionals

The healthcare system is at present undergoing transformations shifting towards a value-

based system. This emergence of a value-based system has led to the substitution of volume-

incidences of serious disorders, and encourage more healthy living grounding on evidence-based

practice (Feeley & Mohta, 2018). Even though this transformation in the healthcare system has
