Question

Why is it helpful to establish roles when developing an interdisciplinary team?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is: A. Establishing roles helps team members know whom to take direction from and communicate with.

Explanation:

Interdisciplinary teams are a key element in quality healthcare, as each of the members in the team can take different approaches to diagnosticate and treat the same patient.

For interdisciplinary teams to work efficiently, there have to be roles given to each of the persons composing the team. This is important for members to understand what their specific tasks are, and whom they should take directions from, as well as knowing whom they should communicate with, and whom they should be giving directions to if their roles would allow it.
