Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Education of the Health Care Team, What's It All About?
The fact that at a Congress such as this, the topic of The Education of the Health Care Team starts with the question What's It All About? Is indicative, in my opinion, of the vast amount of confusion, differing priorities, biases, and complexities around the whole issue of inter disciplinary, health-team delivery of care. I suspect that this audience represents a wide range of attitudes toward the subject. In taking the assignment of talking on this question, I am painfully reminded of a speaker at another meeting dealing with a similarly complex topic whose Opening comment was: My job for the next few moments is to talk yours is to listen. I hope to heaven you don't finish ahead of me.
Let me begin by defining what I see the issue is and is not.
The issue is not whether team delivery of health care is good or bad, needed or not needed. Team delivery of care exists today, in a wide variety of delivery settings from the private physician-nurse team, to the multi member interdisciplinary teams in community health centers, out-patient clinics and the like.
