Collaborative Teams In 1999 the Bureau of Primary Health Care developed
“Collaborative Teams” to help Community Health Agencies to improve the health
of underserved populations and increase access to care. This is done by working with Community Health
Agencies on specific chronic diseases (Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease,
Depression and Asthma). The
Collaborative helps these agencies redesign their way of providing health
care so patients are healthier and are able to self-manage their disease more
effectively. In 2003 Generation’s joined this effort and
established their first team to focus on Diabetes. Since then we have spread this process to
our other sites. Each site has a
Collaborative Team that focus’ on Diabetes as well as other Chronic Diseases
and how we can provide better care to our patients. |
