Multidisciplinary collaboration	Do primary care, mental health, and social work providers have areas of overlap within this clinic? If so, what are they? What are some positive aspects of this overlap? What are some negative aspects of this overlap? Does the overlap of responsibilities help you feel more supported in your role? Or does it simply add redundancy?
Provider-to-provider communication	In an ordinary visit, how much communication would you have with another provider type? Can you give me a typical example?
	Can you identify some of the methods you regularly use to communicate with providers inside your clinical unit? What methods do you regularly use to communicate with providers outside your clinical unit?
Handoff communication	Can you explain what happens after you end your visit with a patient? Is there something special you do?
