The Collaborative Care initiative is currently on pause. We are working diligently on a re-implementation strategy that represents our current climate and patients and family needs.

Collaborative Care provides exceptional health care in which patients, families and providers partner together to integrate high-quality care in all disciplines to best meet patient needs. Our team includes nurses, physicians (attending/residents), medical students, pharmacists, social workers and physical therapists from UT Health San Antonio and University Hospital.

The Collaborative Care initiative was piloted in January of 2015 by an interprofessional team of staff from the Division of General and Hospital Medicine from the UT Health San Antonio and University Hospital. The model’s continued success has been recognized at many local and national conferences.
