INTRODUCTION This research article investigates the impact of interdisciplinary care teams on patient outcomes in oncology settings. The study evaluates how collaboration among healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines affects the quality of care, patient satisfaction, and clinical outcomes for oncology patients. Through a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, the research provides insights into the effectiveness of interdisciplinary approaches in enhancing patient care and improving outcomes in oncology. Patient satisfaction, on the other hand, refers to the extent to which patients feel that their healthcare needs are being met and their expectations are fulfilled. It is influenced by multiple factors, such as the communication skills of healthcare providers, the accessibility and convenience of services, the responsiveness of care teams, and the overall environment of the healthcare facility. High levels of patient satisfaction are often associated with positive experiences, such as feeling heard and respected, receiving timely care, and having a supportive and empathetic interaction with healthcare professionals. Oncology care often involves complex management of various aspects of patient health, including treatment of cancer, management of side effects, and addressing psychosocial needs. Interdisciplinary care teams, which bring together healthcare professionals from multiple disciplines, are increasingly recognized as a means to improve patient outcomes in oncology settings. This study aims to assess how the integration of interdisciplinary care impacts patient outcomes, including clinical effectiveness, quality of life, and overall satisfaction[1-3]. Interdisciplinary care teams in oncology typically include oncologists, nurses, pharmacists, social workers, dietitians, and other specialists. The goal is to provide comprehensive care that addresses the multifaceted needs of cancer patients. Research has shown that interdisciplinary approaches can enhance communication among team members, streamline care processes, and improve overall patient management. Interdisciplinary care in oncology involves the collaboration of healthcare professionals from various disciplines to provide comprehensive care for cancer patients. This approach recognizes that cancer treatment and management require a multifaceted strategy that addresses not only the medical aspects of the disease but also the psychological, social, and supportive needs of patients. DESCRIPTION In an interdisciplinary oncology team, roles often include oncologists, nurses, pharmacists, social workers, dietitians, psychologists, and other specialists. Each member contributes their expertise to the patient's care, ensuring a holistic approach that covers all facets of the patient's health. Oncologists lead the treatment plan, focusing on cancer therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Nurses manage day-to-day patient care, monitor responses to treatment, and provide support throughout the treatment process. Pharmacists ensure the safe and effective use of medications, while dietitians help manage nutritional needs, which can be particularly challenging during cancer treatment. Social workers address psychosocial aspects, such as coping with the emotional impact of cancer and accessing resources for financial or social support [4,5]. The collaborative nature of interdisciplinary teams facilitates improved communication and coordination of care. This teamwork allows for the integration of different perspectives and expertise, leading to more comprehensive treatment plans. For instance, a patient's nutritional needs, side effects management, and psychological support are all addressed simultaneously, which can enhance overall treatment effectiveness and patient well-being. Interdisciplinary care also helps streamline care processes and reduces fragmentation. By working together, team members can avoid duplicative tests, minimize delays, and ensure that all aspects of the patient's health are managed cohesively. This approach fosters a more organized and efficient treatment experience, which is crucial in oncology settings where timely and coordinated care is essential. Moreover, interdisciplinary care can enhance patient satisfaction by providing a more personalized and responsive care experience. Patients benefit from a team that collectively addresses their needs and preferences, leading to CONCLUSION Effective quality of care contributes to higher patient satisfaction by ensuring that patients receive comprehensive and appropriate treatment. For instance, well-coordinated care that addresses both medical and psychosocial needs can enhance the patient experience and lead to better outcomes. Additionally, clear communication between patients and healthcare providers helps build trust, facilitates informed decision-making, and contributes to a more positive perception of the care received. Conversely, high patient satisfaction can be an indicator of quality care. When patients report satisfaction with their care, it often reflects that their needs were addressed effectively, their concerns were managed appropriately, and their overall experience met or exceeded their expectations. Patient satisfaction surveys and feedback can provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of care processes, identify areas for improvement, and guide quality enhancement initiatives.
