Article Synopsis
- - The Malaysian Allied Health Profession Act (Act 774) regulates allied health practitioners, but specific criteria are needed to define the "profession of allied health" (PAH) within Malaysia.
- - The research used qualitative methods, including document review and focus group discussions with 25 stakeholders, to identify key criteria for defining PAH, resulting in sixteen emergent codes related to healthcare practice.
- - Six primary criteria were identified as critical for defining PAH in Malaysia, particularly focusing on risk of harm to patients and necessary competencies, indicating that a combination of these criteria is necessary for a comprehensive understanding of PAH.
