MDT Coordination
Multi-disciplinary team meetings generate decisions. But decisions without tracked actions are just words in minutes. CAREFUL turns MDT outcomes into a shared, accountable plan.
The problem
The MDT meets. Clinicians discuss complex cases. Decisions are made. Then the meeting ends — and the actions scatter. They live in letters, in notebooks, in someone's memory. Three weeks later, the patient returns and no one can confirm whether the agreed plan was carried out.
How CAREFUL solves it
After an MDT discussion, actions are created in CAREFUL: investigation requests, referrals, follow-up appointments, treatment decisions. Each action has a named owner, a due date and visibility to every team involved in that patient's care.
If the action requires another team — pathology, radiology, surgery — it travels as a referral with a conversation thread. The originating team can see whether it has been accepted and acted upon.
At the next MDT, the team reviews the patient's action history. Outstanding items are immediately visible. Nothing relies on someone remembering to check.
Asynchronous collaboration
Not every MDT decision requires a meeting. CAREFUL's shared patient view allows teams to review and update plans between meetings — adding notes, completing actions, flagging concerns. The formal MDT becomes a review of progress, not a discovery of what was missed.
Who uses this
Cancer MDTs, complex case reviews, frailty meetings, discharge planning boards — any setting where multiple specialties must agree and execute a coordinated plan.
