Project
The project assignment provides a forum for analyzing and evaluating relevant topics of this week on the basis of the course competencies covered.
Introduction
Building a high-performing team is a process. The leaders who cultivate and build such teams understand the importance of common goals and success in achieving those goals. As a leader, you will ultimately strive to build your own high-performing team.
Tasks
Read the following article for assistance:
Characterizing Teamwork in Cardiovascular Care Outcomes: A Network Analytics Approach
You will make a plan to develop your high-performing team. In developing your team, be sure to include the following:
Describe how you will communicate common goals.
Describe how you will address conflict in a way that is positive within the team.
Assist each member embrace his or her role within the team.
Explain the things you will do to energize your team.
Be sure to provide specific examples and rationale behind your steps.
To support your work, use your course and textbook readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

Abstract
Background—
The nature of teamwork in healthcare is complex and interdisciplinary, and provider collaboration based on shared patient encounters is crucial to its success. Characterizing the intensity of working relationships with risk-adjusted patient outcomes supplies insight into provider interactions in a hospital environment.
Methods and Results—
We extracted 4 years of patient, provider, and activity data for encounters in an inpatient cardiology unit from Northwestern Medicine’s Enterprise Data Warehouse. We then created a provider–patient network to identify healthcare providers who jointly participated in patient encounters and calculated satisfaction rates for provider–provider pairs. We demonstrated the application of a novel parameter, the shared positive outcome ratio, a measure that assesses the strength of a patient-sharing relationship between 2 providers based on risk-adjusted encounter outcomes. We compared an observed collaboration network of 334 providers and 3453 relationships to 1000 networks with shared positive outcome ratio scores based on randomized outcomes and found 188 collaborative relationships between pairs of providers that showed significantly higher than expected patient satisfaction ratings. A group of 22 providers performed exceptionally in terms of patient satisfaction. Our results indicate high variability in collaboration scores across the network and highlight our ability to identify relationships with both higher and lower than expected scores across a set of shared patient encounters.
Conclusions—
Satisfaction rates seem to vary across different teams of providers. Team collaboration can be quantified using a composite measure of collaboration across provider pairs. Tracking provider pair outcomes over a sufficient set of shared encounters may inform quality improvement strategies such as optimizing team staffing, identifying characteristics and practices of high-performing teams, developing evidence-based team guidelines, and redesigning inpatient care processes.
