All disciplines communicate the patient/family learning needs and teaching outcomes through documentation on the Interdisciplinary Patient and Family Education Record.

Health care providers also discuss learning needs and educational outcomes with members of the health care team including: physicians, nurses, dietitians, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, social workers, home care staff, child life staff, and pharmacists, etc.

The patient education component of critical pathways is the result of interdisciplinary collaboration

Collaboration also occurs through referrals to other disciplines, discharge planning conferences, or patient care conferences
