The Illinois Association of Craniofacial Teams (IACT) is a not-for-profit organization whose members are the 14 teams that treat patients with craniofacial anomalies in the state of Illinois and adjoining areas. The teams represent more than 200 multidisciplinary health professionals. The group was formed in 1983 to foster cooperation and communication between the teams and to encourage public awareness. In addition to providing educational programs, the organization has focused its attention on standards of care, cost analysis of services, third party reimbursement, and incidence reporting of cleft lip and palate. This report reviews the formation, structure, and accomplishments of IACT so that it may serve as a model or guide for other groups who share its goals.
伊利诺伊州颅面治疗团队协会（IACT）是一个非营利性组织，其成员包括该州及周边地区治疗颅面畸形患者的14个团队。这些团队代表了200多名多学科医疗专业人员。该组织成立于1983年，旨在促进各团队之间的合作与交流，并提高公众意识。除了提供教育项目外，该组织还将注意力集中在护理标准、服务成本分析、第三方报销以及唇腭裂发病率报告等方面。本报告回顾了IACT的形成、结构和成就，以便为其他有共同目标的组织提供一个范例或指导。
