This investigation describes the experiences of a hospital-based healthcare team, with the implementation of the Comprehensive Family and Community Healthcare Model. This was an exploratory study of qualitative nature. Two semi-structured group interviews were carried out with a team of 17 workers at the El Carmen Family Health Community Hospital, in the province of Ñuble, divided in two groups of 8 and 9 persons respectively. The results highlight the importance of considering, when implementing such a program, factors to such as the team's organizational capacities, autonomy in the decision-making process, the team's confidence in their own individual and collective capacities, comprehension of the Family Healthcare Model and belief in the model's viability.
