How Do Interdisciplinary Teams Improve Patient Outcomes?
Interdisciplinary teams improve patient outcomes by offering comprehensive care that considers all aspects of a patient's health. For example, a patient with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) may benefit from the coordinated efforts of a gynecologist, endocrinologist, nutritionist, and mental health professional. This team approach ensures that the patient receives not only medical treatment but also nutritional advice and psychological support, leading to better overall health.
