Down
- 1. a group set up to work together using their areas of expertise to find a solution to problems effecting patients care and safety; team members may come from all pathways of health care
- 2. A disease caused by a biological organism such as bacteria, virus, parasites or fungus
- 5. Primarily focused on changing the health status of the patient over time
