TL;DR
An interdisciplinary team training model is proposed as an appropriate design for improving competence and promoting collaborative care in skilled nursing facilities.
Abstract
Nursing directors of 899 geographically diverse skilled nursing facilities reported substantial limitations in the competence of staff at all levels in managing behaviorally disturbed patients and a broad-based need for improvements in skills. The authors propose an interdisciplinary team training model as an appropriate design for improving competence and promoting collaborative care.
