- Pursuit of continuity of care
Tasks are carried out by different members who work in the same discipline, field, or specialization.
INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM
- Several members of diverse disciplines perform their roles separately to generate a specific plan within their disciplinary boundaries.
- Members work parallel to each other, but stay within their boundaries with the medical record serving as the vehicle of information.
- Each member focuses on their own work without explicit regard to interaction.
MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM
Subject matter is studied by multiple members through the application of methodologies of other unrelated disciplines, fields, or specializations.
CROSS-DISCIPLINARY TEAM
- Numerous members from various disciplines work together to blend their skills and share roles outside the boundaries of their discipline, field, or specialization.
- One collective group with no boundaries.
- Members are very familiar with the roles and responsibility of other members that functions can become interchangeable.
- Elements are difficult to implement or operationalize but some aspects are possible.
TRANSDISCIPLINARY TEAM
- Multiple members from various specializations or disciplines work collaboratively to develop goals and treatment plans while maintaining distinct professional responsibilities and individual assignments.
- Members complement one another’s expertise and believe that combined contribution is greater than any one discipline.
INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM
Differentiate education and training.
Education is the transfer of extensive broad-based knowledge while training is the preparation of an individual for a specific task.
Disciplinarities:
- Monodisciplinary or unidisciplinary approach that pertains to working within a single discipline, field or specialization.
- Part of this approach is vertical integration.
