- Title
Teamwork: Is It Always More Efficient?
- Authors
Adler, Kenneth G.
- Abstract
The article discusses the place of teamwork in the primary care task or general practice physicians. It is stated that some doctors feel they are being more efficient by concentrating on complicated cases and delegating routine tasks to nurse practitioners and physician assistants. The care model presented by the "Team-Based Care: Saving Time and Improving Efficiency" article by Kevin Hopkins and Christine Sinsky is scrutinized for its consideration of patients' need for intimacy and counseling.
