Early findings Care pathways and team composition are changing External drivers are mostly professional influences and need for service redesign Professionals also highlighted new legal rights Managers make team composition decisions on staff skills and competences, staff experience and regulation Budgets and perceptions of patient preferences least important Patients are satisfied Experience of care suggests it is not ‘patient centred’ Care feels integrated but doctor is often still seen as ‘main’ provider Next steps Inter and intra country comparison Cost effectiveness and clinical effectiveness Recommendations for optimal team Workforce planning tool
Issues for research Engaging clinical colleagues Differences in health systems, definitions, terminology across European countries Distinguishing exact contribution to health care delivery to quantify substitution Dynamic workforce context Generalisability beyond three conditions
