Event

Interdisciplinary healthcare teams are increasingly used to deliver high-quality, high value care. This symposium will examine the evidence for team based care, including patient and provider outcomes. We will feature various care models of teams that incorporate professionals, non-professionals, patients or families to optimize care in adult and pediatric pulmonary and critical care across clinical and community settings. Examples include communication facilitators in critical care, integrated teams in pulmonary clinic, lay health workers in asthma care, and care coordinators outside the healthcare system. Each care model will share granular program components, including structure, feasibility, and financing, to allow attendees to replicate these models in their settings.
