The "Team Based Health Care Act" is designed to improve collaborative healthcare practices in South Carolina by creating a structured framework for Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs), Physician Assistants (PAs), and Anesthesiologist's Assistants (AAs) to work together as part of a patient care team. The bill introduces definitions for team-based healthcare, mandates that these professionals operate within a team environment, and sets forth guidelines for collaboration and supervision among team members. It also establishes the Team Based Health Care Committee to oversee compliance with these regulations and assist the Board of Medical Examiners and the Board of Nursing in monitoring team-based practices.

Furthermore, the legislation requires detailed provisions for collaboration and supervision in practice agreements, ensuring active involvement of patient care team physicians. It mandates transparency for patients regarding the roles and qualifications of team members, and outlines the committee's powers to conduct audits and address violations. The bill also calls for a report from the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services on incentives for healthcare professionals to work in underserved areas, emphasizes conflict of interest rules for committee members, and ensures that the act remains valid even if parts are deemed unconstitutional. The act will take effect upon the Governor's approval, with compliance required within six months.
