What is the role of team leader in a geriatric interdisciplinary team?

Hope this is helpful.

Thank you for your opinion.

Geriatric interdisciplinary teams are located in a variety of settings, such as acute care, outpatient or long-term care. The team leadership varies with the setting. As an example, the physician might lead the team in a geriatric assessment center and a nurse might lead the team in the long-term care setting. Regardless, strong leadership is essential for optimal functioning of the team. Effective skills of a strong team leader include facilitating the discussion during team meetings, summarizing complex discussion and diplomatically addressing conflicts. In addition, the successful leader practices effective time management and ensures the establishment and follow through on next steps in the care plan.
