What is teamwork?
– Teamwork is essential in the provision of healthcare
means that no single professional can deliver a complete
episode of healthcare by them self.
– In healthcare, where patient outcomes are dependent on
effective interdisciplinary teamwork, there is need for
better preparation of health professionals in teamwork.
– Teamwork means that people will try to cooperate, using
their individual skills and providing constructive
feedback, despite any personal conflict between
individuals.
Why teamwork is
important?
Teamwork became an important health intervention for a
number of reasons.
– First, clinical care is becoming more complex and specialized,
forcing medical staffs to attempt complicated health services
and quickly learn new methods. Aging populations, the
increase of chronic diseases like diabetes, cancer, and heart
disease have forced medical staffs to take a multidisciplinary
approach to health care . In countries like the United States,
medical teams must manage patients suffering from multiple
health problems.Other countries are also concerned with
increasing access to health care for diverse
populations. In Brazil, health teams train to intimately understand the needs of
patients, but also of local communities and different cultures.
– Secondly, researchers have found that working together reduces the number of
medical errors and increases patient safety .Teamwork also reduces issues that lead
to burnout . No longer is one person responsible for the patient’s health; today, an
entire team of health workers comes together to coordinate a patient’s well-being .
Health teams help break down hierarchy and centralized power of health
organizations, giving more leverage to health workers.
– Third, because teamwork is centered on solid communication, patients and their
families sometimes feel more at ease and report they accept treatments and feel
more satisfied with their health care. Health workers are also found to be more
satisfied with their work . A study found nurses who go through successful team
building efforts are more satisfied with their work.
There are some critical elements the
relationship between team members

include :
– Trust (delegation or referral of roles or tasks)
– Diversity of opinions, views and approaches within the
team
– Mindfulness
– Interrelatedness
– Respect for each others' opinions and roles
There are six key attributes for
successful teamwork
1. Commitment to team success and shared goals
2. Interdependence
3. Interpersonal skills
4. Open communication and positive feedback
5. Appropriate team composition and commitment to team
processes
6. Leadership and accountability.
