Building Patient Care Continuity with Prepared Practice Teams, an Audio Conference on CD-ROM

Description:

Already a leader in high quality healthcare, HealthPartners Medical Group wanted another model of care that would improve outcomes even further. It sought to enhance the patient’s and provider’s experience while advancing its organizational mission – becoming the best and most trusted group of healthcare providers in the nation. HealthPartners moved from a reactive form of care to a Planned Care Model that calls for a “Prepared Practice Team” to anticipate the needs of patients before they arrive. The prepared practice team is a part of Ed Wagner’s Chronic Care Model.

During this 45-minute audio conference on CD-ROM, Beth Waterman, vice president of primary care and clinic operations at HealthPartners, described the role of practice teams in her organization's effort to build patient care continuity.

Waterman provided the inside details on:

- Practice team basics -- organizing, training and skill set requirements;
- Developing a "disease-neutral" approach;
- Re-designing the office work-flow;
- Engaging both patients and providers in practice teams;
- Program results and lessons learned; and
- Planned enhancements to the HealthPartners Prepared Practice Teams.

HealthPartners is one of only seven healthcare organizations in the country selected to lead improvements in healthcare quality through Pursuing Perfection: Raising the Bar for Health Care Performance. Pursuing Perfection is a $21 million initiative sponsored by the prestigious Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), an internationally recognized leader in healthcare quality.
