AB  - Perhaps  there  is  no  greater  need  for  the  concept  of  a  team  meeting  or  team  rounds  in  rehabilitation  than  when  we  are  confronted  with  the  multitude  of  problems  faced  by  the  person  who  has  sustained  a  catastrophic  injury.  This  reality  is  particularly  compelling  in  the  case  of  spinal  cord  injury  (SCI),  especially  in  light  of  the  comparative  youth  of  such  survivors  and  the  need  to  maximize  a  quality  of  life  for  many  years.  At  times,  the  physical,  functional,  behavioral,  environmental,  and  social  problems  facing  these  patients  appear  insurmountable.  Coupled  with  this  reality  is  another  inescapable  fact.  The  time  allocated  for  team  meetings  has  often  become  constricted  by  a  need  to  provide  multiple  services  over  less  time,  often  with  fewer  resources.  Accordingly,  all  team  members  being  better  positioned  to  understand  their  respective  roles  as  well  as  the  roles  of  others  becomes  an  imperative.
