What are the documented benefits of multidisciplinary teams? Beyond the documented benefits, what else do you see as a possible benefit?
What will be an ideal response?
Studies have documented improved decision-making, greater efficacy, more thorough assessments, improved customer, client or patient satisfaction, and enhanced team member satisfaction.A multidisciplinary approach is also reported to mitigate the risk of individual professional or disciplinary bias, such as tendency to make rapid judgments about the cause of an apparent injury that might influence child protection decisions. Beyond these benefits specifically mentioned in the text, a multidisciplinary approach would likely improve service coordination, as well as streamlined communication, all of which likely lead to the client and team member satisfaction, and hopefully safer outcomes for children.
