Plan For Clinical Practice Change

Implementing Collaborative Care requires significant -- and oftentimes challenging -- clinical practice change. Clinics must clearly define team member roles, create a workflow, and identify how to track treatment and outcomes. Each team member should understand Collaborative Care before beginning this step! Review Lay the Foundation [1] if necessary.

Your implementation leader or someone on your planning team should guide this step (see Identify Your Champions [2] for more information about these roles).

Learning Objectives: 
  • Identify all Collaborative Care team members and organize them for training
  • Identify a population-based tracking system for your organization
  • Develop a clinical flowchart and detailed action plan for your care team
  • Develop a plan for funding, space, human resources, and other administrative needs
  • Develop a plan to merge Collaborative Care monitoring and reporting outcomes into existing quality improvement efforts

None of us is as smart as all of us
