¶ … working as a multidisciplinary team to perform the best care to hospital patients. In a hospital environment, professionals working as a multidisciplinary team can collaborate with each other that will in return benefit the patient and help deliver person-centered care more effectively. Working together as a multidisciplinary team is a necessary component in order to successfully give person-centered care to hospital patients. Martin (1997) stresses that no group can as an entity create ideas, only individuals can do this. However, a group is capable of stimulating one another into the creation of ideas. According to Stewart (2003), interdisciplinary teams are composed of two or more disciplines which, actively and continuously, participate in a process of communicating, planning and acting together towards mutually shared goal. According to Leathard (2000), other positive factors of working as a multidisciplinary team are; the efficient use of staff resources through collaboration...
Collaboration allows for the unity of health and social care professionals to develop a collective understanding in the workforce. This in return requires effective communication and coordination which is all acquired within a multidisciplinary team. For a multidisciplinary team to be successful, each member should feel that they are an important asset to the group, their contributions should be recognized, and everyone should be on one accord with the goals that they want to achieve.
The following scenario details the benefits of functioning as a multidisciplinary team. Halm et al. (2003) talks about a trial that took place at a London hospital, which introduced a multidisciplinary approach to ward rounds. The team consisted of no more than ten members; this ensured that the patient's privacy…

Bruce Tuckman's model of team formation suggests that all teams go through a process of 'forming, storming, norming, and performing.' Tuckman's model conceptualizes teamwork as a process. Teams are forged, they are not immediately realized. After proceeding through the first stages, the group that I am currently working in has now finally transitioned to the 'performing' stage. This has been facilitated by the fact that it is not the first
In addition to being team-focused, the objectives set should be patient-focused. At present, the patient is not the focus of any particular individual or group, although they are perfectly willing to invoke the patient to justify a roadblock to change. Motivators are key to implementing organizational change as they orient the actions of the individuals within the organization. Kotter and Schlesinger (2008) outline the four main points of resistance to change:
Health Care Teams and Collaboration Delivery system of a health system depends on numerous interfaces and multiple practitioners. There are different health care practitioners in a health care institution depending on their field of practice and their level of education. During a four-day period in a health care institution, a patient may have a chance to interact with 50 different employees of the institution. These employees are nurses, physicians, technical staff

The work also focuses on the roles that
