Team members assess patients and establish together plans of care; provide a wide variety of treatment techniques; provide education and support to patients and families; and facilitate continuing care planning. Team members evaluate quality of services and participate in outcomes management activities.

A team member embraces the Intensive Caring values of the organization and uses them to guide interactions with others.
