What must an interdisciplinary team avoid when reviewing relocation orders?

Having members involved in the original relocation decision is crucial for maintaining objectivity and fairness in the review process. When an interdisciplinary team evaluates relocation orders, it is important that the team members who are assessing the situation do not have prior involvement in the decision to relocate the resident. This helps to ensure that the review is unbiased and considers the current needs and preferences of the resident without being influenced by past decisions or motivations.

If team members were involved in the original decision, their judgment may be swayed by their previous commitment to that decision, potentially overlooking important changes in the resident's circumstances or preferences. By keeping the reviewing team free of prior involvement, the process can focus solely on the needs and best interests of the resident, fostering a more accurate and fair evaluation.

In contrast, evaluating based on resident feedback, using standardized assessment tools, and reaching a consensus on decisions are all practices that contribute positively to the relocation review process. These practices ensure that the resident's voice is heard, that assessments are consistent and objective, and that decisions are made collaboratively to reflect the best possible outcome for the resident.
