The recognition that women's health encompasses more than reproductive health has led to changes in research and education, and a reexamination of health care delivery to women. Examination of care offered by traditional obstetrical/gynecological practices, besides those of internists and general medicine practitioners, reveals that the care of women is often fragmented. The health care needs of women can be met by an interdisciplinary team approach. The members of the interdisciplinary team include non-physician health care practitioners. Examples of successful models are discussed. |
