Integrated Care Team Training

Improve Team Efficiency, Satisfaction, and the Customer Experience

Southcentral Foundation’s (SCF) Nuka System of Care is based on relationships, trust, partnering, and the concept of shared responsibility. It is based on the understanding that patients (known as customer-owners at SCF) are in control of their health. SCF has received awards for its innovative approach and is recognized worldwide as a model for health care delivery, operational efficiencies, and relationship-based services.  

In this two-day training, you will explore the systems and protocols SCF has developed to create effective partnerships and integrate services; practice skills needed to improve team efficiency, satisfaction, and the customer experience through interactive, subject matter expert-led panels and sessions; and tour SCF’s clinical and team-based spaces.
