 THE MERCK MANUAL OF GERIATRICS, Ch. 7, Geriatric Interdisciplinary Teams
Interdisciplinary teams differ from multidisciplinary teams, from which they evolved (see Table 7-1); multidisciplinary teams create discipline-specific care plans and implement them simultaneously without explicit regard to their interaction.
Interdisciplinary teams also differ from transdisciplinary teams, in which each team member must be so familiar with the roles and responsibilities of other members that tasks and functions become, to some extent, interchangeable.
Team effectiveness should be defined by specific goals at the outset and monitored by continuous quality improvement measures.

 Structuring and Interdisciplinary Courses   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
In the ideal interdisciplinary version of this course, perhaps even more disciplines, representing the physical and social sciences, would be brought together, and a new and slightly different rendition of the subject might be invented by the participants as a result of further struggle to reconcile differences and discover commonalties.
In the ideal interdisciplinary team-taught course, the subject grows out of the idea; it is invented by the faculty who participate in the course, it is more than the sum of the disciplinary parts, and it is presented to the students, as nearly as possibly, as an integrated whole.
The team made a conscious decision about sequencing the content of the course around three themes, rather than teaching the course as a complete chronological coverage of political, social, and cultural events, beginning at the beginning in the first term, and ending with the present at the end of the third term.

 Excerpt | Interdisciplinary Clinical Assessment of Young Children with Developmental Disabilities (Guralnick)
The overarching purpose of the interdisciplinary team assessment of young children is to develop plans and recommendations, including locating community resources to meet the identified needs of the child and family.
In essence, this process begins by ensuring that team members from each discipline are able to gather information and to understand thoroughly, in relation to their domains of expertise, child and family functioning.
The global nature of many of the assessments comprising the interdisciplinary team approach, although valuable for addressing the issues that brought families to the team, is typically only the first stage in an extended undertaking of disciplinary- and interdisciplinary-based assessments and early interventions.
