Is North Carolina's Workforce Prepared for Team-Based Care?

Abstract

Evaluating the capacity of the health workforce to adopt team-based health care delivery models, nationally or in North Carolina, requires a nuanced approach that explores educational and clinical environments, payment, health systems, and regulatory levers. This paper discusses workforce challenges to team-based care and how best to train, prepare, and retool an equipped health workforce to meet the needs of team-based care.
