In this way, new providers can gain a multidisciplinary insight into primary care and the system can begin to utilize its members more efficiently without compromising on safety or patient outcomes. If the system remains fractured by role confusion and an unwillingness to provide support for each other a significant opportunity opens up for more negative health outcomes and reduced patient…
