Canadian Health Services Research Foundation (CHSRF): This report focuses on the use of nurses in interprofessional teams, including nurse-led teams. The goal is to highlight the cost and outcomes effectiveness of interprofessional or nurse-led teams. The economic rationale for interprofessional teams is that the professionals have comparative advantages in skill sets and costs in the delivery of elements of the service basket to the patient. The scope of this report is outside the direct acute-care context, and instead focuses on primary care and on settings such as clinics, community health centres, family health teams, long-term care, and public health.
