Summary:
Barriers
- Reductionism – healthcare providers most often deal with one small aspect of a person’s health instead of the whole person
- Medical Specialization – a patient with three diagnoses is treated by three different specialists, who work in different offices, different organizations and sometimes different communities
- Individual Competence – training in individual competence focuses on individual competence and not collaborative team competence
Solutions
- a global electronic health record
- primary care service through a primary healthcare team in one office or building
- strategic review of errors and fix the errors with standardized protocols and procedures
