Introduction[edit | edit source]
Multi-disciplinary approach (MDT) [edit | edit source]
- Professionals workingparallel with clear roles.
- Each professional setstheir own individual goals with the patients and communicates these goals and outcomes with the rest of the team where appropriate.
- Lead by Consultant or team leader.
- Little overlap between disciplines.
Inter disciplinary approach (IDT)[edit | edit source]
- Professionals involved in joint problem solving, working beyond their own scope of practice.
- Treatment goals overlap and collaborate with other disciplines.
- Regular communication between team members.
The MDTis recognised internationally as the amputee rehabilitation model of choice, although there is little published literature to support this (BACPAR, 2006).
Evidence based clinical guidelines set in 2012 by BACPAR [1] stated:
A specialist MDT achieves the best prosthetic outcomes. To provide an effective and efficient service the MDT must work together towards goals agreed with the individual user.
The IDT approach has started to become more prominent in a few areas of the NHS.This style aims to achieve the optimum outcome for the patients by all professionals working towards the same goals, and working together with other disciplines to problem solve and provide treatment.Korner 2009, compares these two style of working, MDT versus IDT, with a clear outline of how the two approaches differ.Within amputee rehabilitation many limb centres are starting to adopt the IDT approach. As communication between prosthetists, physiotherapists, doctors and other healthcare professionals improve,the team is able to work together more closely andachieve better outcomes.
