The transplant surgeon chose the members of this team for various reasons. The operating room manager and the surgical supervisor discuss how the organs are brought into the operating room and process for improvement. The ICU manager and Transplant Floor manager and supervisor comment about the patient’s arrival time. They remark about the consents of donation after cardiac death and Centers for Disease Control High Risk. These consents need to be signed by the patient and the surgeon. These are mentioned as reminders during this time as well because they are always audited by CMS and UNOS. The transplant surgical physician assistants present the data: the depth of subcutaneous tissue, surgical complications during surgery, wound vac placement, readmits, induction therapy, cold ischemia time of the donor, pump time on the kidney, KDPI%, initial rejection, treatment of the initial rejection, hospital course, and date of discharge. The inpatient coordinator communicates difficulties with teaching and medication coverage issues. This is an opportunity that the physicians and staff suggest changes of the educational materials to the patient and transplant clinic. Social workers remark about support issues and care coordination. Transplant nephrologists remark about the kidney statistics and the kidney patient postoperative care in the outpatient setting.

The integrated physician model aims at bringing collaboration to medical teams that are competing against one another in the same hospital. Through achieving this, the integrated physician model creates values for the patients, hospitals and the doctors. Hospital care providers and physicians that put their focus on patients become stronger because of the high competition that exists in the health care segment.

In an effort to create more efficient and effective health care services, decision makers and organizational leaders have looked to the implementation of interprofessional healthcare teams to deliver care together as opposed to the traditional model of healthcare delivery one that sees practitioners working alone in silos (Tomblin Murphy, Alder, MacKenzie & Rigby, 2010; Weinberg, Cooney-Miner, Perloff, Babington, & Avgar, 2011). In 2008, the World Health Organization (WHO) Study Group on Interprofessional Education (IPE) and Collaborative Practice (IPC) created a set of definitions to assist the health researchers, educators, policy developers, decision makers and others in developing IPE and IPC in their jurisdictions to both build capacity
An example of the importance of interprofessional training is that when a physical therapist works with a patient in the hospital. If the patient is in too much pain or is sleepy from the medication the physical therapist will not be able to accomplish much.

Bogossian & Craven (2020) observed a serious problem in public and private hospitals that lack teamwork. They noted the various disciplines team members undertake during training but must collaborate during practice to ensure safe, effective, and comprehensive patient care. Inter-professional education allows nurses to learn from each other; clarifying their roles increases the team's functionality, promotes better leaders and access to specialized care, and reduces conflict.
