Abstract: This study explores the interdisciplinary collaboration between emergency medical technicians (EMTs), physiotherapists, and social workers in addressing the physical and mental rehabilitation needs of patients following emergency care in a tertiary hospital. Using qualitative interviews with healthcare professionals and focus groups with patients, the study highlights the importance of coordinated care in improving patient outcomes. Findings indicate that collaboration leads to enhanced physical recovery and mental well-being but is hindered by communication barriers and time constraints. The study suggests that improved communication channels and increased mental health resources are essential for optimizing interdisciplinary care.
