“A team is a group with a specific task or  tasks, the accomplishment of which requires the interdependent and  collaborative efforts of its members” (Wise, Beckhard, Rubin, &  Kyte, 1974, p. 73). Grumbach and Bodenheimer (2004, p. 1249) identified  five key elements of team building and explained that a cohesive,  organized team must have “clear goals with measurable outcomes, clinical  and administrative systems, division of labor, training, and  communication.” Teamwork brings together diverse knowledge and skills  and can result in professional collaboration and cost-effective quality  service.
Despite evidence that teams may  enhance patient care, working on an interdisciplinary health care team  can be challenging. For example, a member may be threatened by the  notion of giving up some of his or her professional autonomy to the  group effort, or there may be a lack of confidence and trust in the  opinions and decisions of individuals from other disciplines. It  requires skill and flexibility to coordinate and collaborate with  multiple professionals who possess different backgrounds and areas of  expertise toward a common goal: improving the delivery of services to  patients.
To prepare for this Assignment,  select a discipline of medical social work of interest to you. Then,  read the assigned case study and think about how a team would care for  or provide service to the identified client.
Case study:
Claire  is a 60-year-old Caucasian female. She has been married to her husband  for 35 years and has two grown children. She has been admitted to the  hospital for a double mastectomy due to her recent breast cancer  diagnosis. Claire and her family remain unclear about her prognosis.

Explain how you might collaborate with the members of the health care team.
Explain the essential values that are common to the members of an interdisciplinary team to patient care.
Describe the challenges you might encounter while working with an  interdisciplinary health care team. Then, explain strategies you would  employ to address the challenges.
Explain how the challenges you identified might negatively affect  the patient and the patient’s family in the assigned case study.  Finally, explain how you might work with the patient, the patient’s  family, and other stakeholders in providing optimal health care. Cite  your response using external scholarly resources.
Provide examples of resources the social worker might use for patients in this area.
