Team-Based Care

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Chronic Illness Care

Abstract

Caring for patients with chronic disease has become increasingly complex, and coordinating the many facets of medical and social care can be challenging to a clinician. Teams of health professionals working together and communicating regularly can provide such care more effectively. Successful integration of team-based care into practices improves outcomes for patients while decreasing costs associated with chronic illness. Clinicians and staff also benefit from the team approach due to increased career satisfaction. Team-based care is crucial in providing quality care while optimizing resources and minimizing costs.
