At AdvantageCare Physicians, a pilot study explored how a comprehensive care team around a cardiology specialist can improve quality of care, efficiency, and access within a multispecialty healthcare system.

This model demonstrates how specialized care teams can enhance productivity and maintain quality in a Patient-Centered Medical Home setting.
