[Work relationships among interdisciplinary teams: contributions for new methods of organization in health work].
This is a qualitative study developed with the interdisciplinary health care teams of two public hospitals in Brazil. One team provides palliative care to cancer patients and the other provides care to the elderly. The study contributes to thinking about work relationships in the health care sector upon analyzing the contribution of these experiences for the constitution of new forms of health care work organization. The results reveal that the interdisciplinary perspective of performance in health care makes better work relationships possible among professionals and between professionals and patients/family, as well as approximates the professionals to the needs of the patient, beyond contributing to better quality care. We conclude that interdisciplinary practice approximates new forms of work organization and, upon favoring these links, reception, and access, contributes to the greater efficiency of the Brazilian National Health Care System.
