title: The cooperative care concept: a care partner's perspective.
abstract: Today's acute care facilities are facing the most serious crisis in health care history. They have been challenged with providing high quality services with good patient outcomes at competitive prices. The Cooperative Care Concept is an alternative that strives to meet this challenge by delivering hospital care in a unique way. This innovation is described through the care partner's eyes by a health care professional who has recently lived the experience.
