LEARNING
What Is Team Training?

The Concept.
Patients with multiple conditions rely on health care professionals from a variety of disciplines. This is often the case with elderly patients. Studies show that complex patients manage better when their doctors, nurses, gerontologists, pharmacists--every health professional involved in their care (including the patient!)--work together as a team to develop a smart plan of care.

The Need.
Unfortunately, teams, let alone effective ones, don't just happen. It takes training.

Fact:
Nine out of ten health care professionals fail to list the patient as a critical member of a health care planning team.
