The Health Team Training Model: A Teaching-Learning Approach in Community Health

Abstract

Health science students worked as members of interdisciplinary health teams as the teams provided services to multiple-problem Appalachian families. The family became the focus of attention in care delivery while the Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) and the family health plan were used by the teams to provide services. Intra- team issues that evolved included communication, decision making, leadership style, and role identity.
