Tag: Collaborative healthcare

Studies have shown that interdisciplinary healthcare teams—those that include a variety of professionals working together—lead to better patient outcomes, reduced errors, and improved satisfaction. When considering who is the most important in the healthcare team, the answer is not a single person, but the collective, with the patient at its very center.

According to a study cited by Graphy Publications, no single individual or department can provide complete and competent patient care. This reality highlights the importance of collaboration in medicine, leading to models like interdependent care. A prime example of interdependent care involves the multi-faceted treatment of a patient recovering from a complex medical event, such as a major surgery.
