Why is it important?
Including behavioral health services with medical care in a pediatric diabetes clinic is rarely achieved. This program evaluation shows that using the Iowa Model for implementation supported the planning, delivery, and evaluation of this newly developed clinic, promoting team cohesion, consensus, ongoing administrative support, and positive patient and family outcomes.
Perspectives
In health care, creating a team is often seen as setting up a meeting. Team building is an active, engaged process to support relationships, workflow, and respect for others' roles and practices.
