A Culture of Team-Based Care Improves Value

May 12, 2021

Interdisciplinary team-based care enables health care organizations to improve outcomes and the patient experience while reducing cost. For many health care organizations, implementing or expanding their team-based care strategy requires reimagining how care is organized, how health professionals interact with each other and with patients, and how providers are educated and trained. To make the case to invest the time, resources and staff in the transformation to team-based care, hospital champions need to be able to articulate the value of this approach.

This webinar, co-hosted by AHA Team Training and The Value Initiative, explores how health care organizations can build a culture of team-based care that improves value. In conversation with AHA’s Julia Resnick, leaders from CHI Health Creighton University Medical Center share the story of how they designed University Clinic around inter-professional care teams to meet their patients’ needs. They discuss what it took to build a culture of team-based care at their organization and how the model has improved outcomes, reduced cost and enhanced the experience for both patients and providers. Presenters also discuss how other health care organizations can make the value-case for the transformation to team-based care.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe what it takes to build a culture of team-based care
• Identify key elements of a successful team-based care program
• Identify outcomes metrics to measure the value of team-based care
