highlight the advantages of multidisciplinary teamwork in care planning and suggest some methods for overcoming the difficulties that arise while working from a distance.

Interdisciplinary collaboration in remote teams can pose challenges despite its advantages. Addressing these challenges involves employing effective communication methods to clarify roles and responsibilities. Regular video conferencing meetings, facilitated by platforms such as Zoom or Google, can be used to maintain communication. Shared documentation tools like Google Docs or Dropbox can be utilized to inform all team members about the patient’s status (Hamnvik et al., 2020). Training sessions on remote collaboration tools and best practices can also be provided to ensure team members are proficient in working remotely.

            In summary, evidence-based practice models offer frameworks for the implementation of EBP in diverse settings. Telemedicine can address barriers faced by transgender individuals, including limited access to healthcare due to geographic location and financial limitations. Telemedicine can also improve training opportunities for gender-affirming surgery.
