Abstract :

In alignment with Saudi Vision 2030 and the national Health Sector Transformation Program, the Ministry of Health –MOH– has launched the “Team Based Care (TBC)” initiative as a cornerstone reform to restructure and enhance primary healthcare services. This proactive, person-centered care model aims to transition the healthcare system from reactive disease treatment to proactive health promotion and prevention. The model assigns each family a dedicated primary care team—typically comprising a family physician and a nurse-responsi­ble for 3,000 to 4,000 individuals. These teams provide comprehensive, continuous, and coor­dinated care, fostering long-term relationships with patients and improving health outcomes.

Key objectives include:

• Enhancing access to healthcare services.
• Strengthening continuity of care through team-based assignments.
• Promoting preventive interventions such as screenings, chronic disease management, and vaccinations.
• Integrating digital communication via the “Sehhaty” and “Anaa” platforms to ensure two way interaction between providers and beneficiaries.

Each healthcare center organizes medical teams based on population density and workforce availability. Core tasks include health assessments, personalized care planning, health edu­cation, and systematic follow-up. The model emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, reg­ular team meetings, and performance monitoring, contributing to higher patient satisfaction, better health indicators, and reduced healthcare costs. This innovative approach to primary care reflects global best practices adapted to local needs, aiming to build a healthier, more resilient Saudi population.
