One technique humanitarian response organizations may use to integrate services is formation and deployment of multidisciplinary response teams. Literature suggests the need for integrated assessment of disaster survivors and collaborative response efforts (1). Although multidisciplinary teams in health care are prevalent, their use in disaster has been less frequently studied. Our systematic review seeks to synthesize evidence about effectiveness of multidisciplinary team response to mass casualty disasters.application/pdfenCommunity HealthEmergency and Disaster ManagementEmergency MedicineHealth Services ResearchPublic Healthmultidisciplinary response teamdisaster responseintegrated care teamdisaster response teamRed Cross teamRed Crescent teamarticle
