“…In both Azerbaijan and the Netherlands most respondents reported that a weekly clinical conference with radiologists and neurologist could be a good opportunity to increase their neurora diological skills. Even though the number of multidis ciplinary team meetings increase and have an consid erable impact on workflow of radiology departments [24], these meetings contribute to good communica tion between referring physicians and radiologist and thereby contribute to patient safety [25,26]. Therefore, the current data may encourage radiologists and neu rologists to participate in these neuroradiological clin ical conferences.…”

Background. Referring physicians are valuable sources of information for radiologist to improve quality in radiology. In differenthealthcare systems neuroradiology has developed differently. Healthcare in Azerbaijan is developing and investmentstake place both in infrastructure and knowledge. Tools to compare healthcare in Azerbaijan and western countries can help toguide these improvements by providing detailed information about a specific field resulting in a more focused approach.Methods. A survey covering the field of neuroradiology was developed, with a variety of items including the availability ofequipment, the contentment with the radiological report, the experience of the neurologist, and factors omitting neurologicalimaging. Data was collected both in Azerbaijan and the Netherlands.Results. In both countries most neurologist do not receive formal neuroradiology training. The data demonstrate a higher availabilityof advanced computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines in the Netherlands comparedwith Azerbaijan, and a higher experience with requesting imaging and case reading for the Dutch respondents. The financialsituation of the patient can be a reason for Azerbaijan neurologists to omit imaging (due to the establishment of CT and MRIin most cases in specialized and private centers).Conclusion. The presented survey allows comparison of neuroradiological healthcare between countries in general, and identificationof required preconditions to improve collaboration between neurologists and radiologists. A future lower financialthreshold for imaging and a future increase in availability of PACS (picture archiving and communication system) will facilitatethe improvement of neuroradiological skills of Azerbaijan neurologists. Both Dutch and Azerbaijan neurologists considerweekly clinical neuroradiological conferences together with radiologists useful to improve their skills.

“…However, there are few studies that specifically investigated how team meetings occur in the Brazilian context [9,10]. In contrast the international literature has published a number of researches on the organization of such devices in various areas such as oncology [11,12], mental health and primary care with studies that discuss cost effectiveness [13] as well as explore how professionals evaluate this practice.…”

This paper aims to demonstrate how the design of Therapeutic Plan (TP) is carried out by professionals of multi professional teams of Primary Care in Brazil. It is a qualitative research guided by the theoretical framework of Activity Ergonomics which included professionals from a Family Health Team (FHT) composed of: one physician, one nurse, one nursing assistant and six community health agents. The procedures of data collection were interviews and sistematic observations. The results demonstrate that the spaces for collective production of the activity, recommended for the construction of the TP, are insufficient to integrate the information coming from the real situation, as well as, to coordinate the actions that aim to solve the problems that emerge in the daily life of the service. In addition, the process of designing the TPs is still very handcrafted and little instrumentalized to favor the exchange between the different actors of the team. This frame indicates the need to deepen studies that can support the strengthening of tools and processes that favor the collective fabrication of work in the context of the Teamwork in Primary Care.
