Abstract:
A decade of organizing, implementing, and evaluating interdisciplinary care teams at St Luke's Regional Medical Center has reinforced the value of developing and maintaining clinical and nonclinical competencies. The value of consensus in task delegation cannot be overemphasized. Unit directors have expanded their scope of responsibility and must remain vigilant to avoid fragmentation of care in an interdisciplinary team delivery system.
