Team-Based Care

Team-based care is a type of care designed to support you better. In a team-based model, your doctor leads a team of specially trained experts ready to address your health needs.

This model works so well to expand care access, improve efficiency and assure quality that the American College of Cardiology endorses it.

At Cone Health, our team approach to heart care offers coordinated, comprehensive and convenient care. This means:

• Every member of your care team will know about your health needs.
• If you need to see multiple specialists, we’ll work with you to schedule your appointments on the same day so you can avoid multiple trips.
• In addition to your doctor, your expert team is also highly skilled advanced practice providers.

Advanced Care from Advanced Practice Providers

Advanced practice providers play a critical role in our team-based care model. These highly trained medical experts work directly with your doctor to lead your heart care. You may see one of our advanced practice providers for testing, consultation or follow-up monitoring.

Our team of advanced practice providers includes:

• Pharmacists (PharmDs)
• Physician assistants (PAs)
• Nurse practitioners (NPs)
