5. Interprofessional Health care Team
“Today's patients have complex health needs and typically require more than one discipline to address issues regarding their health status” (1).
“In 2001 a recommendation by the Institute of Medicine Committee on Quality of Health Care in America suggested that healthcare professionals working in interprofessional teams can best communicate and address these complex and challenging needs” (1, 2). 
This interprofessional approach may allow sharing of expertise and perspectives to form a common goal of restoring or maintaining an individual's health and improving outcomes while combining resources (1, 3).

6. Interprofessional Health Care Team Defined
“interprofessional collaboration is a ‘partnership between a team of health providers and a client in a participatory collaborative and coordinated approach to shared decision making around health and social issues” 
Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative,
“process which includes communication and decision-making, enabling a synergistic influence of grouped knowledge and skills” (7).

7. Essential Elements of COllaboration
Responsibility
Accountability
Coordination
Communication
Cooperation
Assertiveness
Autonomy
Mutual trust and respect

8. Traits that enhance Effectiveness
Focus of members should be on needs of the patient/client rather than on individual contributions of members
Members seeing their roles as important to the team
team members must respect, understand roles, and recognize contributions of their members
Open communication
collaboration requires both depending on others and contributing one’s own ideas toward solving a common problem
Existence of autonomy
Equality of resources

9. Team threats
role ambiguity
role conflict
role overload.

10. Team challenges What do you THINK??????
the process of team formation is time consuming and requires matching of schedules of the different team members
collaboration requires communication between team members, which takes time away from patient appointments in busy practices; • a comprehensive approach to health care may lead to increased use of limited services and resources; and • a successful team requires on-going conflict resolution and goal re-assessment; failure of these tasks may impair health care delivery;

11. poor interprofessional collaboration can have a negative impact on the quality of patient care 

12. When? Teams
the problems are complex enough to require more than one set of skills or knowledge
the amount of skills or knowledge is too great for one provider
assembling a group of professionals will enhance the solution to the problems
team-members can communicate on an equal basis
all providers are willing to sacrifice some professional autonomy in working together for a common goal

13. Why? Teams
Health-Care-Teams.aspx

14. Multidisciplinary
Individual discipline-specific assessments of a specific developmental area
Discipline-specific treatments
Discipline-specific goals and objectives

15. Interdisciplinary Team discipline specific assessments
Cooperative treatments; however each team member continues to be primarily responsible for their area of expertise
Discipline specific goals and objective with input and awareness from all team members

16. Transdisciplinary/Primary Service Provider
Research supports this model as the ideal model for learning in infants and young children
Development is viewed as an integrated process
Generally Team Discipline Specific Evaluation
Cooperative goal writing and treatment plan development among all team members (including families)
Primary service provider
Main person providing early intervention services
Typically chosen based on child’s greatest area of need
Should regularly be re-evaluated and possibly changed
NOT intended to be a cost-saving method

17. the basis of primary health care is communication with patient/client, a central principle shared by all health professionals
