All members of the team need to be able to have adequate communication, respect each other, and compromise to make the best decisions for the patient. Each member should know their role on the team in addition to the other member’s role. Every member of the team has their own special abilities that are needed. “The essence of collaboration involves working across professional boundaries” (Liedtka & Whitten, 1998), so each member of the team needs to be able to adjust to the way the other team members do things. It is not always going to be a happy workplace, not everybody is going to agree on the same plan of action; but if it is the best option for the patient then a compromise must be met. The skills and knowledge of the whole team is greater than just one
