This unique and innovative one-day event  showcased the work of a variety of health care teams representing health care organizations throughout Wisconsin and the patient-centered team based work in which they are currently involved. The event provided the opportunity for attendees to engage in discussions about how cooperation and integration among health professionals leads to continuous improvement of patient care. In addition, attendees had time to dialogue with poster presenters who highlighted their successful team based care initiatives.
