Training health care professionals to work together in managing the problems of elderly patients is an area where the home health care industry can make a crucialand substantialcontribution. Since 1996, Rush Home Care Network, an affiliate agency of Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke’s MedicalCenter in Chicago, has served as a clinical training site for an interdisciplinary education program. This program, the Rush Geriatric Interdisciplinary Team Training Program, was initially funded in 1996 through a grant from the John A. Hartford Foundation. Trainees from medicine, nursing, socialwork, pharmacy, occupationaltherapy, physicaltherapy, and clinical nutrition observe and work with Rush home care teams. They participate in team meetings, home visits, patient assessment and counseling, and in-service training. The Rush home care experience in interdisciplinary team training can be viewed as a modelfor other home health care organizations interested in becoming clinical training sites for team care.
