Team-based Care

What you can expect as a patient with Team-based Care:

• Team Based Care will provide you with an entire team of skilled health care professionals who will work together to meet your needs.
• A Patient Care Coordinator will assist your provider by electronically documenting what is discussed at your appointment.  This will enable your provider to focus entirely on you during your visit.
• Your needs will often be completely met during your visit but occasionally follow-up may be required.  Having a Patient Care Coordinator in the appointment will improve the communication with all providers involved in your care
• This new approach to patient care is designed to ensure you receive preventive health screenings when appropriate and to make sure we follow-up on your chronic health issues as needed.
• Enhanced communication with your care team is important in team-based care.  Your Patient Care Coordinator will ask you which method of communication you prefer, such as phone calls or emails via your patient portal.  If you don’t have a patient portal account she can help you get it set-up.
• You may receive an email or text inviting you to complete a survey on your experience.  Please let us know if you do not have a current email address or cell phone on file with us.  We look forward to hearing your feedback.
• Each Team-Based Care team will have a phone number you can call to leave a message or you can email your provider through the portal.  Appointments will continue to be made by calling the department directly.
