You will develop a proposal for review by the hospital leadership team. This proposal should contain the following (at minimum):
Executive summary detailing the need for collaborative care teams (CCT) and why they will benefit the hospital.
At least one paragraph to summarize each of the following components, citing relevant research as applicable. Assume fictional information to formulate your rationale:
Benefits of CCT to patients
Benefits of CCT to clinical staff
Structure of CCT (what providers are involved, and to what degree)
Oversight and assessment (who is responsible for tracking the success or failure)
Operational/Financial risks or areas of concern
Timeline for implementation
Conclusion: summarize key points to “sell” this proposal. Ideally, this will become a standardized model of care in your hospital, if a pilot is successful.
