Interdisciplinary Meetings: Regular discussions about patient care plans and statuses. Communication: Clear and timely communication via electronic health records, phone calls, and in-person discussions. Shared Decision-Making: Jointly making decisions regarding patient treatment plans. Referrals and Consultations: Directing patients to appropriate specialists or services when necessary.
