There might be the odd moments of concentrated "will-power" or flashes of inspired effort, but for most of us, lack of confidence, confusion or simply information overload causes us to be easily distracted from our path. When faced with two equally attractive opportunities, have you ever lost energy pursuing both at the same time with the inevitable consequence of neither of them panning out?

Health care professionals are a cynical lot. We joke about the “fad or buzzword of the month,” usually some vague concept heralded by the powers on high. Our job is to promote the idea, knowing full well that the “next big thing” is probably right around the corner.
Take “patient-centered.” It sure feels like a buzz word. I suspect most hospital and physician executives, and their ad agency partners, would agree. But this time things are very different.

In order to investigate the differences among these models, we will use these four components to illustrate changes along the continuum of team-oriented practice models.
We will focus the discussion on general trends, acknowledging that individuality among patients and practitioners exists across all models. Table 1. Models of Team Health Care Practice Figure 1.
