Integrated collaborative care models

Abstract

A poster presentation regarding integrated collaborative care models. Introduction: Science and practice are essential for quality within healthcare services. The two aspects should be supporting each other for the health care team to keep focused on the patient. Practice moves forward carrying along science along with it, however, neither practice nor science can ever be of quality if separated from one another. Aims: 1. To break down the wall separating administrative and clinical activities using heart failure (HF) as a model 2. To identify driving forces, gaps, and implement validated tools: Medication Assessment Tool for Heart Failure (MAT-HF); Treatment Adherence Questionnaire (TAQ) and Minnesota Living with Heart failure questionnaire (MLHFQ).
