11:51 Share

In this episode, Morgan and Sarah continue their discussion of the first stage of the learning pathway: Where to start with team based care. Our hosts focus on the importance of thinking about both service design and team readiness when transitioning to team-based care in primary care clinics. They emphasize the need to consider the existing services in the community when designing or redesigning a team. Sarah and Morgan also highlight a number of resources available for primary care teams in the first stage of the learning pathway, highlighting the Team Readiness Checklist as something for listeners to try out in practice.

Special thanks to Amie Hough, a Leader in Health System Improvement for Primary and Community Care with Health Quality BC, and one of the creators of the learning pathway, who we will be hearing from throughout the season.
