Collaboration among health care professionals is the key to positive
patient outcomes. Each member of the health care team has been
trained with specific knowledge and skills, which allow them to do
what they do best. Working together as a team brings specific strengths
of each discipline to focus on the care of the patient and supplements
any weaknesses of other teammates. Effective interdisciplinary
relationships decrease costs and improve patient satisfaction, while
improving overall health care worker satisfaction.
Research different health care interdisciplinary relationships, such as
radiology, working with the emergency room, or working in a
pharmaceutical company, that the marketing department needs to
collaborate with the development department.
Write a 1400 word paper summarizing your findings.
Include ways to avoid and resolve conflict, how to work as a team and
collaborate with other departments, and ways to make the process
better. You may also include a personal experience with an
interdisciplinary relationship and describe if it worked well or if there
was a breakdown.
