Abstract
Timely access to primary care is dependent on the efforts of the healthcare team working collaboratively. Huddling provides a forum for this to occur. While most interventions focus on increasing provider availability, this project used interdisciplinary previsit activities and team huddles to shift unnecessary scheduled care away from the provider.
