Discussion: Effective Team Characteristics

Permalink: https://nursingbay.com/discussion-effec…-characteristics/

As the saying goes, “There is no I in team.” There is another saying, “The whole world is a team.” These two sayings support the fact that everyone in healthcare organizations must work together for the good of patients. There is much in healthcare literature focusing on the role of high-performance teams and their impact on patient quality, patient safety, and healthcare worker satisfaction. One of the greatest “value-added” benefits of high-performance teams is the collaboration and sharing of essential information to enhance quality and patient outcomes. In modern healthcare organizations, effective teams are critical to providing patient and healthcare worker satisfaction. Using the readings for the week, the South University Online Library, and the Internet, respond to the following: Describe at least three characteristics of an effective team. Identify two challenges with interprofessional healthcare teams with respect to the various roles. Describe one high-performing team in which you are currently engaged or have engaged in the past. What are the reasons for the success or failure of this team? Examine how education models created for interprofessional healthcare students may develop high-performing healthcare teams. Comment on the postings of at least two peers.
