In the setting of the health care field, multiple decisions must be made on each patient’s care from a variety of viewpoints on the medical team. In these settings, Interprofessional Decision Making is becoming a tool that can incorporate shared decision making with the patients and multiple care team members’ goals in order to optimize and keep an ethical focus on clinical outcomes. By reviewing a patient case below and evaluating the body of literature at the present, it can be determined that a disassembly of the current medical hierarchical structure and the barriers to team based interaction it creates, with a move toward open and ethical interactions, collaborations, and discussions will result in shared consensus on a patients management and care. While this may be difficult to achieve, interventions such as multidisciplinary team building and medical training, prior to matriculation, may provide a foundation for improved Interprofessional Decision Making and overall collaboration. / Urban Bioethics
