The Development of a Formal Team Design in a Community Health Center
Seminar Description: Community health centers are on the frontlines to achieving high-functioning, team-based care that advances health equity. To fulfill this mission, we developed a formal team design, clinic wide for our staff. In this seminar, we will walk through with our participants our experience in the development and implementation of Integrated Care Teams. We look forward to sharing our successes, challenges, barriers and solutions to developing and implementing an integrated care team design for a community health center. Specifically we will discuss the importance of team leaders, shared mental models, case consultation frameworks/guides and coaching mentors for IPE. We look forward to sharing what we have learned through the process of making interdisciplinary care and practice a reality as we focus our efforts on improving health outcomes for patients and families.
Objectives:
• Explain the importance of developing a formal team design among community health centers/primary care/outpatient settings.
• Identify how to engage staff of all professions and roles into valuing interprofessional care and collaborative practice.
• Analyze the barriers of interprofessional collaborative practice and identify solutions to the barriers.
Immediately actionable skills:
• Developing a formal team design is key to establishing interprofessional care in outpatient/primary care settings
•Give opportunities for staff to raise into leadership roles to further IPE
•Be open to the “messiness” of IPE. Perceived roadblocks
Active learning strategies:
We will use word cloud and/or jam board to engage our participants to:
• Formulate how to develop a formal team design for your practice organization
• Role play a case consultation
• Discuss the opportunities for your practice organization to develop integrated care teams
