Team-Based Care Models

Team-Based Care & Social Determinants of Health (SDoH)

We know what improves health and it does not match how we spend for health.

To be most effective, TEAM-BASED CARE should include Community Based Resources as part of the Care Team.

Comprehensive Care partners with OCHI for Care Management technology designed to integrate Community-Based Organization (CBO) resources and workers into a coordinated Care Team using a single platform.

The Team-based care model relies on clinical guidelines for best practices, and often employs multi-disciplinary practitioners to collaborate with the treating physicians.

  • Social Workers/CounselorsüPharmacists
  • Nurses

“Team-based care is a delivery model where patient care needs are addressed as coordinated efforts among multiple health care providers and across settings of care.”

“Well-implemented team-based care has the potential to improve the coordination, efficiency, effectiveness, and value of care, as well as the satisfaction of patients and providers.”

“The central goal of team-based care is to provide the most effective, efficient, and accessible evidence-based care to the patient.”

Improving patient access to care, avoiding high-cost services, coordinating patient-provider interactions, improving patient satisfaction, and saving patient time and money are regarded as core success metrics.”

“The American Diabetes Association recommends using a team-based approach to optimize care for patients with diabetes. However, primary care clinics often do not have the resources to have inter-professional teams on site.
