Clinical decisions in cancer multidisciplinary team meetings (MDM) are influenced by practitioner expertise, adherence to Department of Health policies, and team familiarity with the patient. This impacts inclusivity and the integration of psychosocial care.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Health Services Research
  • Qualitative Research

Background:

  • Cancer multidisciplinary team meetings (MDMs) are crucial for clinical decision-making.
  • Understanding the dynamics influencing these decisions is essential for improving patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the factors shaping clinical decision-making within cancer multidisciplinary team meetings (MDMs).
  • To identify key influences on the conduct and outcomes of MDMs.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study employing participant observation and in-depth interviews.
  • Conducted over 4 months with 53 practitioners in a UK Cancer Network.
  • Analysis of observation data and interview narratives.

Main Results:

  • MDM discussions are often dominated by surgical, medical, or diagnostic experts, with limited input from nursing or psychosocial professionals.
  • Decision-making is heavily influenced by compliance with health policy initiatives.
  • Familiarity with the patient significantly impacts inclusivity, with known patients fostering broader multidisciplinary input.

Conclusions:

  • Practitioner expertise, health policy, and patient familiarity are key determinants of MDM decision-making.
  • Lack of patient familiarity can lead to exclusion of psychosocial aspects and limited multidisciplinary collaboration.
  • Improving MDM effectiveness requires addressing these influencing factors to ensure comprehensive patient care.
