What is you Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) and what does it do?
An IDT is a group of people working together to make sure all your goals and needs are being met.
Your IDT is specially designed for you. Your Care Coordination team will help you decide who should be part of your IDT based on what is important to you.
The members of your IDT work together to make sure you are getting the support you need to keep you healthy and safe and to reach the goals that are important to you. Your Care Manager is the leader of the IDT and will make sure that the IDT is doing all it needs to do for you. Some of the things the members of your IDT must do are:
- Involve you in all decisions about your services, and share any information you need to help make those decision
- Take part in assessments and IDT meetings
- Tell one another of any changes in your health or other needs that may mean your Life Plan needs to change
- Work with you to create a Life Plan that includes all the services and supports you need to meet your life goals and health and safety needs. The Life Plan will list the specific activities that each of your providers will do to support you. Your IDT will meet with you at least every 6 months to review your Life Plan and to make changes if needed. You can ask to meet with your IDT at any time
