Discussion: Impacts on an Interprofessional Team
Discussion: Impacts on an Interprofessional Team
As you have seen, an interprofessional team approach provides a constellation of benefits for patients and providers, and this occurs within various aspects of healthcare. For example, in the case of cancer diagnoses, determining timelines, treatment plans, and support can be done much more efficiently when taken on by an interprofessional team. Conversely, interprofessional work can be challenging, and, from some perspectives, it can have a negative impact. For example, some patients can feel overwhelmed by a team of healthcare providers, which could cause anxiety, confusion, or a feeling of powerlessness.
