The interdisciplinary health model in geriatric rehabilitation involves a team of healthcare professionals from different disciplines who work collaboratively to provide comprehensive and coordinated care to older adults with complex medical conditions or functional impairments. This model recognizes that older adults often have multiple healthcare needs that require the expertise of professionals from various fields to effectively manage their care, especially post operation management in older with femur fracture. The interdisciplinary health team typically includes geriatric specialists, physicians, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, dietician, pharmacist, social workers, and other healthcare professionals as needed. Each team member brings a unique set of skills and knowledge to the care of the older adult, and they work together to develop a comprehensive care plan that addresses the patient's physical, cognitive, functional, social, emotional, and rehabilitative needs. The interdisciplinary health model emphasizes communication and collaboration among team members, with regular meetings to discuss the patient's progress and adjust the care plan as needed. The goal of this model is to provide patient-centered care that maximizes function, independence, and quality of life for the older adult. Research and cases in community based rehabilitation has shown that the interdisciplinary health model is effective in improving functional outcomes, reducing hospital readmissions, reducing length of stay, and enhancing patient satisfaction among older adults in geriatric rehabilitation.
