High Performing Interdisciplinary Teams
Team & Teamwork means something different to everyone
A Continuum of Healthcare Teams Multi-disciplinary Team = hierarchical, each role separate, some communication, parallel processes. Inter-disciplinary Team = interdependent, maintain distinct professional responsibilities & assignments, must make dramatic adjustments in their orientation to coworkers. Trans-disciplinary Team = shared decision making, every member can do everyone else's role if needed, one process, much communication. Source: Cooper et al. (2003).

Adaptive Reserve Borrill et al. (2000) found that teams with greater occupational diversity reported higher overall effectiveness and the innovations introduced by these teams were more radical and had significantly more impact both on the organization and on patient care.

2007 Cochrane Review of Shared Care Results from a few of the studies suggested that shared care may be more effective in certain patient groups.

Terms Teams Must be able to Operationalize Concepts that are not Yet Well Operationalized Team based care Care Coordination/Care Navigation Patient Centered Care/Medical Home Population Health Management Treat to Target Bundled/Episode of Care
Defining appropriate team goals Develop a team dashboard that includes measurable, and meaningful/relevant goals. The goals must relate to tx plan, staff work plan & broader organizational goals. Tie the goals to a quality improvement/pdsa process. Incorporate discussion of the goals/measures into every meeting.
Clear role expectations for team members The more complex the task the clearer roles must be. All team members have their own opinions of what their role is and what their team member s role is If suspected or seen role ambiguity & conflict should be discussed right away. Routinely, clearly state who owns or is responsible for a task to help foster this thinking.
Staff Competencies 1. Interpersonal Communication 2. Collaboration & Teamwork 3. Screening & Assessment 4. Care Planning & Care Coordination 5. Intervention 6. Cultural Competence & Adaptation 7. Systems Oriented Practice 8. Practice Based Learning & Quality Improvement 9. Informatics
A flexible decision-making process A team is a problem-solving, decision-making mechanism. This is not to imply that an entire group must always make all decisions as a group. The issue is one of relevance and appropriateness; who has the relevant information and who will have to implement the decision.
A flexible decision-making process cont. Similarly, when a group faces a conflict it can choose to (a) ignore it, (b) smooth over it, (c) allow one person to force a decision, (d) create a compromise, or (e) confront all the realities of the conflict (facts & feelings) and attempt to develop an innovative solution. The choices individual team members and the team as a whole make will significantly influence how the team functions.
The establishment of open communication patterns Create avenues for communication (e.g., logs, regular team meetings, use of common language, etc.). Maintain regular contact with agency leadership. Understand how culture & training drives language and communication styles. Maintain regular one-on-one supervision.
What Staff Care About/ Want from a Leader Practical Questions What do you want me to keep doing? (standardization) What do you want me to stop doing? (waste) What do you want me to do differently? (CQI) Personal Questions Is my job fulfilling my passion/life vision? Is my job fulfilling my career goals?
The ability of the team to treat itself Include a Team self-audit process that is tied to the team s dashboard. Encourage questioning & the voicing of alternative views. Declare team breakthroughs & team breakdowns when necessary. Encourage necessary acts of leadership.
Team Norms Norms take on particular potency because they influence all of the other areas previously discussed. Groups develop norms governing leadership, influence, communication patterns, decisionmaking, conflict resolution, and the like. Inherently, norms are not good or bad. The issue is one of appropriateness Does a particular norm help or hinder a group's ability to work?
Team Value Systems Wilmot (1995) reported that nurses valued individualism, caring, autonomy, holism & patient well-being, while social workers internalized collectivity, liberty, equality & justice. Family practice and internal medicine medical students and residents were found to be least inclined to interdisciplinary practice while social workers were most inclined. Source: Wilmot (1995). Professional values & inter-professional dialogue. Journal of Inter-professional Care. 9(3):257 266
Take Care of Your Team Transformation occurs, not at a steady & predictable pace, but in fits & starts. After the strenuous task of implementing a particular PCMH component, the practice had to simultaneously manage the ripple effects, maintain the change, & prepare for the next the work is daunting, exhausting & occurring in practices that already felt as if they were running as fast as they could. This type of transformative change, if done too fast, can damage practices and often result in staff burnout, turnover, & financial distress. Source: Nutting et al. (2010) Effect of Facilitation on Practice Outcomes in the National Demonstration Project Model of the Patient-Centered Medical Home Annals of Fam. Med., VOL. 8 (1). 533-544.
Team Care Recognize teams are dynamic, emotion laden, and need constant attention and reassurance. Hardwire rewards into the work flows. Be careful to hire team members not positions. Get in the habit of monitoring and responding to changes in morale/trust.

What is Behavioral Health Integration?
The Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH) Model At the simplest level, integrated behavioral and physical health care occurs when behavioral and primary care providers work together to address the physical and behavioral health needs of their patients.
A Standard Framework For Describing Integrated Health Services
Integrating Behavioral Health and Primary Care: Behavioral Health Consultation
PCBH and Role of Primary Care Provider Serves as team leader Screens for depression, anxiety and trauma Refers a broad range of patients to behavioral health Uses behavioral health consistently at certain types of visits (chronic pain, initial dx of diabetes, well child visits, etc.) Conducts medication evaluation, prescribing, and monitoring
PCBH and Role of Behavioral Health Work alongside primary care providers as Behavioral Health Consultants (BHCs) Immediately accessible for both curbside and in-exam room consults, same-day visits (15 30 minute consults between 7 10/day) Shared records: chart in the medical record using a Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan (SOAP) note format Reimbursement by encounter not by time No office, No caseload, No no shows Robinson, P.J. and Reiter, J.T. (2007). Behavioral Consultation and Primary Care (pp 1-16). N.Y.: Springer Science + Business Media.
Clinical Approach of Behavioral Health Consultant Problem-focused and functional-contextual approach to assessment and treatment of behavioral health disorders Use evidence-based instruments to develop treatment plans, monitor patient progress, and flexibly provide care to meet patient s changing needs: 1. Motivational Interviewing 2. Behavioral Activation 3. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy 4. Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) Robinson, P.J. and Reiter, J.T. (2007). Behavioral Consultation and Primary Care (pp 1-16). N.Y.: Springer Science + Business Media.
Role of the Behavioral Health Consultant Address a variety of issues common to primary care: Affective concerns: depression; anxiety Response to physical illness; pain; substance use and abuse Health behavior change: obesity, smoking, sleep, medication adherence, self management of chronic conditions Engage in prevention activities Hunter, C.L., Goodie, J.L., Oordt, M.S., & Dobmeyer A.C., (2009), Integrated behavioral health in primary care: Step-by-step guidance for assessment and intervention. Washington, DC: American Psychological Association
PCBH Collaborative Approach PCPs systematically screen and do warm hand-offs according to patient needs PCPs and BHCs regularly review each other s notes in the Electronic Medical Record Regularly consult about patient care and change or adjust treatments if patients do not meet treatment targets Co-monitor treatment response at each contact with valid outcome measures Patients who are not improving are identified and targeted for move to a higher level of care
Case Example Ms. T is a 73 year old African American woman. She is a retired teacher with chronic back pain, hypertension, and a history of multiple hospitalizations for coronary artery disease. She is depressed, has stopped going to church, misses her PCP appointments, and takes her HBP medications on her own terms.
To work in integrated care settings Basic understanding of primary care medical conditions Screening, rapid assessment and brief intervention Motivational interviewing, behavioral activation, self management Systems oriented practice including care planning and care coordination Primary care communication skills and interdisciplinary care Working knowledge of psychopharmacology Substance use/addiction treatment (Source: /Forthcoming/ Annapolis Coalition on Behavioral Health Workforce White Paper, Core Competencies for Integrated Behavioral Health and Primary Care )
