Multidisciplinary & Interdisciplinary team (Hall
et al, 2001)

• Multidisciplinary team allows for each


discipline to independently contribute its
particular expertise to an individual patient's
care

• Interdisciplinary team refers to a team whose


members work together closely and
communicate frequently to optimize care for
the patients.
• Transdisciplinary work, in this team the roles
of the individual team members are blurred as
their professional overlap.

through collaboration and team work within and
between health care teams (Horsburgh et al, 2001)

collaboration within health care system (Wahlstorm
et al, 1997)
