Why does the care plan team meet so often to discuss my loved one's care?

The care plan team meets often to discuss your loved one’s care to provide the best comprehensive care and address concerns regarding this care. Depending on the setting, a patient’s condition can change often, which may require the whole interdisciplinary team to regroup and make changes to the treatment plan. Care plan teams can involve the physician, social worker, dietitian, nurse, physical therapist, occupational therapist, and pharmacist. Frequent meetings ensure you that the care plan is constantly being reevaluated for your loved one’s changing condition.
