Functional Team – The Post-Acute Team (PAT)
The Post-Acute Team (PAT) is one of the many teams that composed the Medical Management Department. My team is mainly a functional team. With this being said, we have a team leader (Assistant Director) that oversees us – the team members (RNs, LPNs, UMAs, and PTs).
Below is a diagram I made showing the analogy between a functional team and my team – the Post-Acute Team (PAT).
Each team in our department has a specific purpose and my team’s main function is to facilitate the smooth transition of members from hospitals to other levels of care including skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), long-term care facilities (LTCFs), hospices, and homes.
Below is an illustration I made showing the transition of care from hospital to different levels
