Abstract
The delivery of health care and services via a team approach occurred throughout the twentieth century. As medical specialties developed in the early 1900s, physicians viewed the team approach as a mechanism for coordinating the medical specialties and for keeping lines of communication open between specialists and general practitioners. In the 1930s, nurses began to advocate for the team approach in hospital settings as a means of coordinating the efforts of growing numbers of health professionals and health workers employed there. By the mid 1900s, teams were providing care to chronically ill patients in such areas as home care, mental health, and rehabilitation. President Johnson’s Great Society and War on Poverty Programs of the 1960s gave impetus to teamwork delivered in community-based, primary care settings to poor and under-served, urban populations.
