M3 - Assess how mult--dssdildinary workdig snai dmirove the irovdsdoi of
henalth servdses
In this assignment, I will be assessing how multi-isciplinary working can improve the provision
of health services. I will relate this to the Tom an- Latoya scenarios.
There are many ways in which multi-isciplinary working can improve the provision of health...
I-eitfies sommoi nadms nai- objestvesÜ Professionals woul- work to a single
assessment with each other an- they woul- have share- goals on how to meet the
nee-s of the in-ivi-ual an- how to support them. This improvement is positve because
it ensures that the aims an- objectves are met quicker if more in-ivi-uals are working
towar-s the same en- goals. Furthermore, the impact on the service user woul- be that
they woul- know the aims an- objectves of their care, so they woul- feel more relaxe-
knowing the purpose of their care. In the case stu-y of Tom, the -istrict nurse an- Jason
woul- both have the same aims an- objectves. They woul- both aim to improve Tom's
-ementa. In the case stu-y of Latoya, the social worker an- Foster carer woul- both
have the same aims an- objectves. They woul- both aim to provi-e emotonal an-
practcal support for Latoya.
Promotes ditegrnatoiÜ Legislatons, gui-ance an- regulatons woul- support integrate-
care which woul- create a more personalise- approach to care an- support of the
in-ivi-ual. This improvement is positve because it encourages teamwork. However, it
can also be negatve because teamwork can lea- to confict or misun-erstan-ings
between professionals. Furthermore, the impact on the service user woul- be that they
woul- receive care that is most suitable for them so they woul- be happier with the
service that they are receiving. In the case stu-y of Tom, Tina an- Jason woul- work
together on -iscussing the most appropriate care for Tom. In the case stu-y of Latoya,
the health visitor woul- work with the GP an- woul- share informaton on Latoya's an-
her baby's health.
Re-uses -uildsnatoiÜ The same support woul- not be ofere- by -iferent
teams/agencies as care is coior-inate- following a single support plan. This
improvement is positve because it means that less resources will be require- because
less organisatons will be ofering the same service. It will also re-uce confict an-
competton between organisatons because they will be working together as a team.
Furthermore, the impact on the service user woul- be that they woul- not have to
choose which organisaton to go to, they woul- just follow the care plan so this woul-
give them less work to -o. In the case stu-y of Tom, Jason woul- not provi-e an 'at
harm system' as that is the responsibility of the police. In the case stu-y of Latoya, the
social worker woul- not monitor the health of Latoya an- her baby, as this is the
responsibility of the mi-wives.
