  • Patient / Client / Family / Community-Centred Care
  • Collaborative Leadership

Video on Collective Competence | Dr. Lorelei Lingard | TEDxBayfield | 20 min

Summary:

Barriers

  1. Reductionism – healthcare providers most often deal with one small aspect of a person’s health instead of the whole person
  2. Medical Specialization – a patient with three diagnoses is treated by three different specialists, who work in different offices, different organizations and sometimes different communities
  3. Individual Competence – training in individual competence focuses on individual competence and not collaborative team competence

Solutions

  1. a global electronic health record
  2. primary care service through a primary healthcare team in one office or building
  3. strategic review of errors and fix the errors with standardized protocols and procedures
