Background
Team-Based Care (TBC) centres on collaboration with health care providers in a person-centred way of working that promotes a positive experience for individuals, families, caregivers and providers. This approach fosters an integrated system of primary and community care and supports service model changes to the health system. We know that Team-Based Care (interprofessional collaboration) benefits patients, providers, and the system.
The National Interprofessional Competency Framework highlights the importance for the team to reflect on the patient advisor’s perspective, therefore, during the Team-Based Care education session the patient advisor will be asked to participate in guided storytelling. The aim is to highlight their experience working with multiple health care professionals.
