“When patients have each part of their body addressed by a separate health care provider, there is a presumption that health and well-being happen in isolated systems. We know this isn’t true. When working as an integrated and interdisciplinary team, we can better understand our roles, contributions, and limitations to communicate more effectively about the person we are treating rather than the systems. Patients know that we are all working toward their health together, and that when something isn’t working, we will all problem solve together.”
