Why Team-based Care?
Team-based care is transforming how Albertans experience health care. By bringing together interdisciplinary health professionals and other team members, care becomes more connected, coordinated and responsive to each person’s unique needs.
Across Alberta, the Accelerating Change Transformation Team (ACTT) is helping physicians and clinics put team-based care into action - creating healthier workplaces with stronger outcomes for patients.
Team-based care helps:
- Enhance quality of care by supporting patients with complex or chronic conditions through collaborative, ongoing management
- Improve access so Albertans can get the right care from the right provider, at the right time
- Reduce burnout by sharing responsibilities across the team and allowing each provider to work to their full scope
- Increase patient satisfaction through better communication and coordination within the care team
Together, these efforts are helping to shape a more sustainable, person-centered health system - one that helps Albertans stay healthy and connected to care close to home.
