title: Partnerships in work redesign.
abstract: Nursing and other health care professionals, departments, and communities must integrate as partners for work redesign. Prescription refills and lab results are examples to exemplify partnerships and cost-effectiveness. Team strategies are discussed within the nursing functions of telephone triage and the coordination of patient flow, including implications for nurse administrators. These strategies can be adapted to a variety of health care settings. By working together as partners for work redesign, all members of the health care team become part of the gold standard for care delivery.
