Dr. Mark Antman has actually made a study on the effectiveness of partnerships and its capability in addressing and sharing best medical practices that can be applied for various situations that could be noted of the same situation. While he understood that working in groups or teams might actually improve the chances of adapting applied practices, he found out that there are also challenges faced in it that would most likely have the best practice cut short and not having it entertained or developed.
According to study results, with the help of certain principal investigators, Dr. Mark Antman has noted four reasons why best practices cannot be applied at its maximum benefit. First, partnership challenges. It may actually imply on diversity in skill, expertise, application of medical studies, and exposure to various circumstances, experience, cultural background, and overall social status. Second is a time frame challenge, which may include conflicting of schedules, availability of people, and times of operation or interaction with the patient. Organization variables may indicate the affiliation of the professional with a particular group or allocation of a particular organization with the grouping or team up of various professionals. Lastly, financial concerns may have something to do with the ability of the patient to avail the number of professionals assisting at one time.
