The MDT approach improves communication amongst practitioners, enhances education provided to the patient and stimulates more informed decision-making regarding patient care. In certain settings MDTs have been associated with increased overall patient survival and enhanced quality of life for the patient. Although there is large body of research on MDT management of conditions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, renal disease, and various cancers, there are few studies on MDT management of patients with complex gastrointestinal (GI) conditions and this project aims to fill that gap. 000007568 650__ $$aPatient Care Team$$023663 000007568 650__ $$aEnteral Nutrition$$018460 000007568 650__ $$aNutrition Therapy$$035502 000007568 650__ $$aGastrointestinal Diseases$$019419 000007568 6531_ $$ainterdisciplinary health team 000007568 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000007568 7001_ $$aThelan, Nicole 000007568 8564_ $$9ae6cfed1-919f-418c-b1f9-910d8ff28695$$s1162540$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/7568/files/thelan.nicole.2019.pdf 000007568 905__ $$a/rest/prod/gx/41/mj/47/gx41mj476 000007568 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:7568$$pstudent-work 000007568 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
