Team-Based Care - the “Who” of the Patient Centered Medical Home
Abstract
Team-based care is a key element of a successful primary care practice or patient centered medical home (PCMH). The Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) is a concept that has evolved over the last 40 years and has the potential to take good primary care practices to great. However, before practices can transform to PCMHs, they have to transform their staff to assume new roles and develop needed skills in the new practice paradigm. A framework is provided to implement team-based care and is tailored to address both small practices and larger practices with multiple locations. The concept “Servant Leader” is introduced as the guiding principle in the transformation process and how as a servant leader, you can help staff perform at their maximum potential.
