Conditions to Maximise Success of Interdisciplinary Team

9 Conditions to Maximise the Success of Interdisciplinary Team
1.       Allegiance to a mission statement (i.e person centred rehab in the least restrictive setting)

Does your service have a mission statement? Is it explicitly stated so that everybody knows about it? Does everybody adhere to core values?

2.       Specifically delineated roles of each discipline
What are the roles of doctors? Physio, OT, SLT, Nursing, Care coordinator, SW and discharge planning Nurse.

3.       Balance participation by each professional

Are MDT working equally or is there a group that doe more than the others.

4.       Agreement on and implementation of ground rules of interaction

When there is disagreement between MDTs, what do people do? Do people shout? Do they demonstrate tantrums?

5.       Clear and Effective communication and documentation

How are things documented?

6.       Scientific Approach to patient problems

Are professionals giving accurate findings or mostly opinions?

7.       Clearly defined, Measurable Goals

Are we thinking about restorative goals? Adaptive and modification goals?  How can goals be set if there are no problems? Is it goals or tasks that needed to be done? Are we clear about how goal setting should be?

8.       Working Knowledge of Group Process

Who is the facilitator?

9.       Expedient Procedures for coming to consensus and decision making


What is the framework of reasoning?
