In a collaborative practice, you’re more than an active member of your care team – you’re the very centre of it! The professionals on your team put you first, and see you as a partner in your health care plans. As a partner, you and your family are included in decisions about your care, and you help define what the right care is for you.
Comment être un membre pro-actif de l'équipe de soins collaboratifs:
Primary care providers are your first point of contact when you have a health concern. Normally, it’s your doctor or nurse practitioner who you’ll see during your appointment at your collaborative family practice. And this is also the person who coordinates your care with other members of the team based on your health care needs.
Every collaborative family practice team is different, and may include a number of different health professionals. Remember, each member of the team works closely together in order to provide the most relevant, complete, and efficient care for every patient.
