Inter-Professional Shared-Care Approach

Skills and knowledge of a range of health professionals who share joint responsibility in an individual patient’s care

Patient management within a Shared Care Model is based on explicit individual patient goals, and includes the patient in planning and decision making

Requires clear definitions of roles and responsibilities of the inter-professional team (on-site, virtual or networked)

Requires consistent patient messaging and structured communication between providers regarding use of evidence based recommendations

Interprofessional relations in a Shared Care Model include:

  • Appropriate, rapid, streamlined access to networked specialists, diagnostic and community based allied health services
  • Networked specialists with a shared responsibility for patient care and provide joint provision of clinical services
  • Communication on use of evidence-based treatment and referral guidelines
  • Clear differentiation of roles and legal responsibilities between providers
  • Collaborative professional education and training of health care providers

 

Interprofessional Communication associated with:

  • Referral practices, eligibility criteria, standardized referral form
  • Standardized consult note back to primary care on treatment recommendations
  • Referral process to specialists and other providers to be made by the primary care provider (referral to spine surgeon is made by treating clinician)
  • Return to activity/work recommendations
  • Consistent messaging to the patient in a shared care model
