Team Up! | Patient Perspectives on the Communication of Team-Based Care (Webinar)
Team Up! Team-Based Primary & Community Care in Action is a webinar and podcast series that aims to connect individuals and teams, identify tools to apply to current work underway and share experiences in team-based care across the province.
For the kick off to Season 4 of Team Up! Team-Based Primary and Community Care in Action we were joined by UBC Innovation Support Unit and patient partners to share their experiences and highlight some key learnings from their current learning cycle, with the goal to inform patient communications around primary care transformation and team-based care.
Learning Objectives
- Share learnings and insights from the learning cycle that examined the patient perspective around the communication of team-based care to the public. Patients share their experiences and recommendations.
- Reflect on the importance of patient communication, in the context of change and system transformation.
- Discuss how this can be applied to practice in communicating team-based care to patients at both the clinic and system level.
