Team-Based Care Design

Step 1: Patient Care Needs

Output:

• Identifying core patient care needs

Step 2: Provider Profiles

Input:

• Core patient care need themes/trends

Output:

• Required provider competencies to support needs
• Potential roles required based on patient care needs, required provider competencies/provider scope

Step 3: Practice Environment 

Input:

• Core patient care needs/trends
• Practice environment assessment data/findings
• Provider profile (experience mix and competency requirement analysis, etc.)

Output:

• Gap analysis of required vs. actual care processes & practice supports

Step 4: Putting the Pieces Together 

Input:

• Integrated review of all findings
• Internal and external HPPD data for a comparable unit/setting

Output:

• Required team composition/team processes and practices, and team-based care delivery model and implementation plan for required changes
• Favorable patient outcomes - Examples include favorable rates/trends with:
  • pressure injury prevalence
  • falls with injury
  • central-line infections
  • catheter-induced urinary tract infection (UTI)
  • nosocomial Infections (Cdiff, MRSA, VRE)
  • sitter usage
  • medication errors
