Abstract

Integrated healthcare delivery represents a transformative approach to surgical care, particularly within dynamic healthcare systems like Saudi Arabia's. This article examines best practices in multidisciplinary integration for general surgery, focusing on the specialized contributions of nursing, radiology, echocardiography, and ECG teams to intraoperative decision-making. By analyzing evidence-based models and Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 reforms, we demonstrate how systematic collaboration can reduce surgical complications, enhance diagnostic precision, optimize resource utilization, and improve long-term patient outcomes. We propose actionable implementation strategies tailored to the Kingdom's unique healthcare landscape, emphasizing infrastructural, technological, and cultural shifts necessary for successful integration.
