Interdisciplinary & Collaborative Care
This session highlights the essential role of interdisciplinary teamwork and collaborative care in delivering high-quality, coordinated, and patient-centered healthcare. As clinical cases grow increasingly complex, effective collaboration among nurses, physicians, allied health professionals, social workers, and care coordinators is critical to achieving optimal outcomes.
Key themes include interprofessional communication, shared decision-making, collaborative practice models, care integration across settings, and strategies for reducing fragmentation in healthcare delivery. The session will also explore tools that enhance teamwork—such as structured communication frameworks, multidisciplinary rounds, and digital platforms that support coordinated care.
Participants will gain insights into overcoming common collaboration barriers, fostering mutual respect among care teams, and leveraging each discipline’s expertise to improve safety, efficiency, and patient satisfaction. Real-world case studies will demonstrate how interdisciplinary care strengthens continuity, enhances problem-solving, and creates a more holistic and effective care experience for patients.
