The Importance of Multidisciplinary Teamwork in Rehabilitation
Effective rehabilitation, especially for older adults, requires a collaborative approach involving the entire multidisciplinary team rather than relying solely on a few physiotherapists. Coordinated efforts are essential to break down existing policies and systems that may inadvertently limit patient activity and engagement during their recovery. Team engagement is crucial for changing the culture within healthcare facilities, ensuring rehabilitation practices promote active participation rather than confinement. As seen in discussions about previous guests, fostering teamwork among various healthcare professionals can greatly enhance the quality of care provided.
