Abstract
The continual improvements in medical technologies, greater levels of knowledge and awareness amongst patient populations and increasing demands for the variety of sources of health care available within Finland means organising the health service is a great challenge. However, due to the rapid increase in health care, the government is desperate to find ways of innovating the service and cutting cost. A key question to be answered is in relation to this political agenda is how can we organise health care and achieve good, fair and cost effective services for the whole population. Teamworking can provide us a means of achieving this.
Interdisciplinary health care teams are increasingly becoming an integral part of the health care system in Finland, as well as in many other nations around the world. There are multiple benefits to the patients, health care professionals, and health care system as a whole, in employing interdisciplinary health care teams in the health service. However, the implementation of Interdisciplinary health care for innovation is not trivial. This paper describes the experiences that face health care service in the Osuva project involving in Finland. It discusses the barriers found and how the co-creation of value can help in interdisciplinary teamwork innovation.
