The elderly have complex bio-psycho-social needs which are best met by a multidisciplinary team approach. In a multidisciplinary team, diverse perspectives are gathered to make a unified decision to solve a complex problem. Having a clear vision with common goals and ensuring an organised framework with good collaboration among team members are some of many factors needed to build a strong team. Benefits include the ability to provide comprehensive and personalised care to the patient during care transition, henceforth reducing overall hospitalisation and healthcare costs.
