The problems identified and addressed by the TEAMS model are numerous and broad. They exist within an extremely complex systern of hospital-based health care and medical training. An early evaluation indicated that TEAMS has been successful in addressing these problems, but more groups will need to be run and a more sophisticated evaluation conducted in order to draw more thorough on objective conclusions. The POI's usefulness in assessing whether program goals have been met is being reevaluated.
