Multidisciplinary collaboration

Abstract

Multidisciplinary collaboration means working jointly and cooperatively with different disciplines within a team. It is a type of collaboration often used in primary care and between primary care and other sectors. When working with others in a multidisciplinary approach, it is possible to untangle complex problems and to establish a sustainable and affordable health care system. It allows professionals to perform a greater variety of roles and offers better health outcomes and higher satisfaction for patients.
