MultidisciplinaryTeamApproach:EDTeamModelsEating disorders (ED) are one of the most difficultillnesses to treat since these disorders includementalhealth aspects as well as medical and nutritionalcomplications.Whilemultidisciplinaryteamtreatmentisconsideredbestpractice,considerablevariationexistsinteam compositiondepending on treatment setting andstageof illness.TheEDteamiscomprisedofadiverseselection of licensed health professionals such asphysiciansandnursepractitioners,whoarecertifiedtopracticemedicine (i.e. diagnosing amedical condition,prescribingdrugs,orderinglaboratorytests),aswellasclinical care experts like registered nurses, registereddietitians and psychotherapists who collaborate as ateam to address a variety of medical and behavioralissuesofthepatient.The scope of practice for each licensed healthcareprofessional is clearly defined in state and federalmedicalboardguidelinesand shouldbeincluded in allstandardsofcaredocumentswithintheorganization.Itisimportanttoidentifyrolesandresponsibilities,withineachmultidisciplinaryteamasskillsandknowledgewilloftenhaveoverlappingcompetencies.The team may also utilize “consultants” who provideexpertisewhenrequiredbutmaynotactasapermanentpartof themultidisciplinary team.Understandingeachhealth professional’s contribution to the ED team isessential andwill require leadership decisions to bestutilize various skill sets of teammembers. In treatingpatients with eating disorders, the psychiatrist may
5
assume the leadership role within a program or teamthatincludesotherphysicians,psychologists,registereddietitians and psychotherapists, or may workcollaborativelyonateamledbyothers.The American Psychiatric Association (APA) hasestablished themost recognized practice guideline forthe treatment of eating disorders but other guidelinessuchastheNationalInstituteforHealthandCare(NICEguidelines for eating disorders treatment are alsohelpful. Additional guidelines from other licensing orcredentialing agencies such as Joint Commission forAccreditationofHospitalOrganizations(JCAHO),Agencyfor Health Care Administration (AHCA), etc. dictatestandardsof compliance such as the credentials of theprovider and the minimum requirements of medicalinterventionrequiredtotreatthevariouslevelsofcarewithinthepopulation.TwoexamplesofanEDteamaredepicted in the following diagrams: Core andComprehensive.

MedicalProfessionalCredentials:WhatDoTheyMean?Understanding thecredentialsandscopeofpracticeofthe variousmedical professionals thatmay participateon the ED treatment team is necessary to meet thespecificneedsofyourfacilityand/orestablishateamofhighlyskilledprofessionalscapableofservingtheneedsofyourcommunity.WhenorganizingtheEDcareteam,themedicalneedsofthepatientmaybemanagedbyoneorseveralmedicalprofessionals. A primary medical provider should beestablished for each patient to ensure a clear line ofmedical leadership is understoodwithin the ED team.This is also dependent on the availability of trained

Team ReimbursementReimbursement for services provided by the medicalprofessional is based on the level of care where theprovision of services is administered; for example,whetherthetreatmentoccursinanoutpatientsettingorwithin an acute care facility. For ED facilities, medicalprofessionalsprovidingthetreatmentmaybeemployedby facility and act as part of themedical staff or theycouldbecontractedtoprovideservicesandbilltheclientor organization. While the medical coverage rate isvariable, typically the medical professional cansuccessfullybillforcareprovided.TheEDmedicalprofessionalmaybefunctioningwithina private practice setting as a member of an EDoutpatient team for various patients. In such casesreimbursement is conductedwith the standard billingpracticesofthatoffice.Attheoutpatientlevelofcare,dietitiansandtherapistsoperateeitherasafeeforserviceorsubmitchargeswithinsurance companies on behalf of the patient.When aclinician uses a fee for servicemodel, patientsmay beprovided with receipts that can be used to apply forreimbursement from insurance companies or undertheir flex spendingorhealthsavingsaccounts.Medicaldiagnosiscodesprovidedbythemedicalprofessionaltoalltheteammembersassistwiththebillingprocessandenhancetheopportunityforpatientreimbursement.Outpatientdietitianservicesfallundermedicalbenefitsand may require a prescriptive referral for MedicalNutrition therapy.

It is important for anorganization to be knowledgeable of the trainedprofessionalswithin their communitywho are able tojoin the multidisciplinary team and provide the mosteffectivetreatment.Thecertifiedmedicalprovidermayalsoshareresponsibilitiesofmedicalmanagementwith
11
the primary care physician or medical director of afacility. Within the course of treatment, a shift in theprioritization of therapeutic intervention often occursand may require a concurrent shift in the designated“team leader”. For instance, if the need for medicalstabilization is determined to be the number one carepriority, the certified medical provider would beresponsible for initiating treatment modalities anddirectingtheteamastohowandwhentoinitiatetheirtherapeutictreatment.Atothertimes,themedicalaspectmay not be as critical and another healthcareprofessionalsuchasatherapistcandirectthetreatmentplan.
