DH Ambulatory Nursing Presents - How the Pandemic can Help us Drive the Implementation of Team-Based Care at DH-H

Dartmouth Health Continuing Education for Professionals Home, DH Ambulatory Nursing Presents - How the Pandemic can Help us Drive the Implementation of Team-Based Care at DH-H, 6/18/2021 8:00:00 AM - 6/18/2024 9:00:00 AM, It is said frequently: “I spend too much time on the phone” or “I’m glued to my computer all day.” Triage will always be a critical, complex, and needed component of ambulatory care nursing. However, in the future we must implement models of care that fully utilize the training and expertise of our nurses to meet the growing demand for management of chronic health conditions. There is strong and extensive evidence that implementing team-based care in ambulatory care improves outcomes. This presentation will review and discuss key attributes of effective team-based care, highlight clinics in the DH-H system already utilizing this approach, and end with a discussion on growth opportunities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
