Road Map

“The implementation of Patient-Centered Team Based Care, supported by health IT, brings about

many challenges for new workers and incumbents, alike. Both groups will find

interpersonal dynamics to be an unexpected focus and new technologies will emerge that will

have to be learned and integrated into their workflows. On the job success will likely stem from a work environment with a consistent

understanding of the transformation process, visible leadership and support, and established

outcomes that can be measured against contextual factors during delivery of care. “

Questions

• How do we support practice teams in acquiring the new competencies to sustain their transformational journey, and how can we integrate these competencies into educational programs that are preparing the future workforce of healthcare.

• What education approaches, both current and those expected in the future, support patient-centered team-based care?

• How do we link healthcare workers/educators to the growing body of tools and training on the effective and efficient use of Health IT ?
