As a concept multidisciplinary collaboration or teamwork is not clear. Researchers have developed many definition about multidisciplinary collaboration having characteristics like objectivity, methodicalness, regularity, common goals, population's/patient's perspective and individually shared responsibility. In decision making every expert has a responsibility to give his/her skills and acknowledge for the goals of the working community and patients. A great deal of research and development work is currently ongoing in hospitals and health centers on multidisciplinary topic. This approach has been useful in district responsibility and also in primary nursing.
