Shared goals are an essential product of effective team collaboration. The client and family should be team members involved in determining, refining, and updating goals. Their inclusion as a collaborative team member allows for a more realistic assessment of a client's needs, preferences, resources, and personal goals. They can provide important input into the development and evaluation of care and can sensitize providers to realistic needs and priorities.
