Objective  To investigate the current status of multi-disciplinary team (MDT) in outpatient clinics of medical institutions in Sichuan, and to provide reference for further promoting the MDT model in outpatient clinics. Methods  In November 2022, questionnaires were distributed to the outpatient management personnel of Sichuan Outpatient Management and Medical Quality Control Center from various medical institutions. The questionnaire included the basic information of the survey subjects and medical institutions, the current status of outpatient MDT work, the current status of operation and management, and the internal and external influencing factors of MDT development. Results  A total of 106 questionnaires were received, of which 104 were valid. There were 70 hospitals that had provided outpatient MDT services, with a development rate of 67.31%, mainly concentrated in the past 5 years. A total of 60 hospitals (85.71%) had established MDT related systems, but only 14 hospitals (20.00%) had carried out relevant quality evaluation work. Among the 104 outpatient management personnel surveyed, 83.65% believed that the external factor affecting the development of outpatient MDT was the lack of correct understanding of MDT by patients, and 78.85% believed that the internal factor affecting the development of outpatient MDT was the low participation enthusiasm of departments and doctors. Conclusions  The outpatient MDT in Sichuan is still in its early stages of development, and the outpatient MDT model has not yet been unified in terms of establishment standards, organizational methods, operational management, and fee standards. In the future, relevant departments and medical institutions still need to work together to promote its sustainable development.
