Team Performance in Health Care: Assessment and Development

This volume presents the work of clinical health-care teams and natural work groups, quality improvement teams, committees and task forces made up of employees in health-care settings. Collaboration and interdependence in health care are necessary for health professionals to provide quality treatment and care to patients with complex, chronic problems. Working together fosters collaboration and interactive problem solving among professionals from diverse disciplines and promotes understanding of the roles and contributions all disciplines make in delivering care and services to patients.
Evaluating quality in the delivery of care and services to patients is also an important component of team performance as well as patient responses. This text discusses proven multidimensional instruments along with future needs for measuring team performance.
