A mini season on technology for primary care teams. Morgan is going solo this season to talk technology: teamBITS on EMRs, Telehealth, and patient portals.
A podcast that brings together primary care providers, healthcare planners, patients, innovators and others to talk about the changes that are happening in primary care in British Columbia.
Wrapping Up Season 7: Reflections and Future Directions
In this final episode of Season 7 of TeamUP! Sarah and Morgan wrap up the season integrating nurses into primary care practices.
They discuss the value of a team-based approach, their learnings about nursing roles, and how proper clinical policies and scope maximization can enhance care delivery. They address their take aways from the season like nursing diagnoses, the importance of written policy documents, and the benefits of ongoing team collaboration for clinician retention.
