Zusammenfassung:HealthPartners is a family of nonprofit Minnesota Healthcare organizations. It provides health insurance coverage and medical services to 671,000 members. The organization is undertaking an enterprisewide initiative, titled "Pursuing Perfection," to re-engineer care processes and improve the quality of care. The centerpiece is a planned care model with prepared practice teams organized to implement evidence-based guidelines. HealthPartners' multidisciplinary West Clinic, located in St. Louis Park, Minn, has 19 physicians. It was one of the first two primary care clinics to pilot prepared practice teams. The West Clinic behavioral health team introduced evidence-based guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of depression in primary care.
