Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Healthcare Team Dynamics
  • Interdisciplinary Collaboration

Background:

  • Effective team functioning is crucial in outpatient rehabilitation and education programs.
  • Multidisciplinary approaches can present challenges in communication and goal alignment.
  • Standardized assessment tools may facilitate more cohesive team interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of assessment training on team functioning.
  • To compare team dynamics before and after implementing a new assessment tool.
  • To explore the shift from a multidisciplinary to a transdisciplinary team model.

Main Methods:

  • A before-after trial design was employed with 19 rehabilitation and education specialists.
  • Baseline multidisciplinary team meetings were compared to post-training transdisciplinary team meetings.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Data collected using the Transdisciplinary Team Rating Scale, Team Assessment Questionnaire, and Staff Perception Questionnaire.

    • Main Results:

    • Team member participation significantly increased in transdisciplinary meetings (p = .003).
    • Staff perceptions of treatment planning and goal implementation efficacy favored the transdisciplinary model (p < .001).
    • No significant difference was observed in overall team development (p = .254).

    Conclusions:

    • Training in a common, functional assessment language promotes a transdisciplinary approach.
    • This approach enhances team participation and the efficacy of treatment planning.
    • The study supports the value of standardized assessment tools in improving rehabilitation team work.
