With the increased employment of the MDHT model by health systems, its implementation of the MDHT model has played a significant role in enhancing its effectiveness in delivering health services. In light of the discourse surrounding the efficacy of MDHT, this thesis focuses on the effectiveness of MDHT's relevant challenges and aims to systematically review and synthesize empirical and conceptual research focusing on the needs of MDHT for transitioning from conventional models to a multidisciplinary care approach. The analysis uncovers several under-research domains, research gaps, and avenues for future research in the following dominant categories: team development, team performance and effectiveness, organizational capabilities, and leadership. The findings affirm that organizations must develop knowledge transfer and collaboration processes in advance for hospitals transitioning from the conventional care model to the multidisciplinary care approach. Findings reveal that team structures can provide new insights into developing functional MDHT structures and align the new systems with existing organizational structures. In addition, it is found that it is essential for transitioning hospitals to examine their organizational capabilities and facilities to determine if they can ensure improved patient care and sustainability of MDHTs.
