Background
Delivering integrated team care is a major priority for many countries.
In Australia this is a component of the GP Super Clinic Program but it is

integrated team care.
Objective
To provide a practical framework that will inform the development and
evaluation of integrated healthcare teams.
Discussion
The Team Focused and Clinical Content Framework is an approach to

need to build integration into teams.
