Successful Team-Based Care Strategies in Family Medicine - Part 2

American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians

Christopher Scuderi, DO discusses how successful practices place importance on creating shared and individual goals so the team clearly understands their “why.” Insuring that everyone knows their roles and responsibilities and is educated and empowered to do their tasks exclusively saves time and resources. Physician-led mutual respect is essential for teams to function properly. Dr. Scuderi gives examples of effective communications and conflict resolution, as well as suggestions for team building that are simple and applicable to most family medicine offices. Dr. Scuderi also reviews the importance of having measurable goals and outcomes and how focusing on lead measures can make a difference.
