“Clarifying roles is really important when working as a team. It’s vital that we take that time to understand each other’s role . . . that we are connecting and supporting and able to work together to the best of our abilities. Our roles may be different in some areas and similar in another . . . understand and negotiate what our role is at that time for that client or maybe that team . . . but recognizing . . . that may evolve or change over time. And that we continue to communicate what our roles are or how they’re changing and how we can best align them for the goal of the patient.”
Cheryl Olfert, nurse practitioner
