RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Team care. Traditions and new trends. JF The Journal of Rheumatology JO J Rheumatol FD The Journal of Rheumatology SP 1895 OP 1896 VO 33 IS 9 A1 Ingemar F Petersson YR 2006 UL http://www.jrheum.org/content/33/9/1895.abstract AB Major changes have occurred in the care of patients with rheumatic diseases over the past decades. Most of these changes have focused on new pharmacological and surgical procedures and methods. However, for different reasons, few of these methods are available to many patients around the world, and thus other forms of care are still needed. For optimal benefit to patients, all aspects of care should be organized and coordinated through team care. This leads to new trends in team care development and research, based on well established traditions and accumulated knowledge.
