Abstract

Confronted with rising costs and patients who often have multiple comorbidities, the orthopaedic surgeon needs to face the challenge of providing high-quality health care. One solution is to increase and improve coordination, communication, and teamwork. The orthopaedic surgeon also needs to work effectively and efficiently to manage a fluid and shifting mix of health-care personnel partners from other disciplines and specialties to deliver high-quality patient care. The orthopaedic surgeon must collaborate in a new way with fellow health-care professionals, providing care by following teaming protocols.
