The team approach has all these specialists linked up to provide comprehensive care. They communicate with each other. They all have a copy of the same file and see whatever updates are made to it. Periodically they get together and talk about the patients they share. This helps them all decide together what the best course of action is. It stops one treatment from interfering with this medicine or that procedure or all the other things that can happen. it takes a lot of stress off the patient, in terms of "managing" health treatment. And of course, you don't need to go somewhere else to get a second opinion, because you have 5 experts who have come together to come up with this.

The specialists my mom is seeing at Johns Hopkins do it this way. It works very well!

I wonder how difficult it would be for a hospital to "switch" to salaried doctors. In the way you describe it, Lilllabettt, it seems like a no-brainer that it's the way it should be. But I guess what it boils down to is the pay cut, huh?

I do know that at some hospitals, the doctors are more of a "contracting" set-up instead employing them as you would a nurse or something, so that may play a role in why the current set-up is the way it is.
