The Chief Nursing Officer and Chief Medical Officer in an urban teaching hospital are leading a series of meetings with nurses, physicians, hospital lawyers, and risk managers to review and
update hospital privileging procedures and requirements for advanced practice RNs and physicians new to the hospital. This is an example of which type of collaborative team?
A) Intradisciplinary
B) Interdisciplinary
C) Multidisciplinary
D) Complementary
Answer: B
A team comprised of members from different disciplines that is focused on achieving a common goal is an interdisciplinary team. Their varying professional backgrounds helps to ensure that other perspectives are represented as the issue is considered. Intradisciplinary teams are comprised of members of the same profession working to achieve a common goal, and multidisciplinary teams are more commonly teams whose members work more autonomously toward the common goal. Complementary is not a type of team, although team members' efforts can be complementary and provide a broader perspective of issues.
