Contributing factors include a failure to acknowledge human fallibility, communication barriers across hierarchies and disciplines, and an increasingly complex hospital environment. Within inpatient medical settings, nurses and physicians often differ in their ratings of collaboration, and these discrepancies further highlight opportunities for improving teamwork.
4
A team is defined as two or more individuals with specified roles interacting adaptively, interdependently, and dynamically toward a shared and common goal.
5
Elements of effective teamwork have been identified through research conducted in aviation, the military, and more recently, healthcare. Salas and colleagues have synthesized this research into five core components: team leadership, mutual performance monitoring, backup behavior, adaptability, and team orientation (see Table 1).

Additionally, three supporting and coordinating mechanisms are essential for effective teamwork: A shared mental model, closed-loop communica­tion, and mutual trust (see Table 1).
5
Successful teams use these elements to develop a culture for “speaking up” and situational awareness among team members. Situational awareness refers to a person’s perception and understanding of their dynamic environment. Human errors often result from a lack of such awareness.

Challenges to Improving Teamwork

There are several important barriers to effective teamwork and communi­cation in the hospital setting. Teams are large, formed in an ad hoc fash­ion, and membership is dynamic and often dispersed. Team members in
their respective disciplines care for multiple patients at the same time and usually work in shifts, or rotations, resulting in team membership vari­ability (few patients will have identical team membership) and instability (each team has members joining and departing from the team). Furthermore, while nurses and other hospital staff usually work on spe­cific patient care units, physicians often care for patients on multiple units and floors. Research has shown that nurses and physicians do not com­municate consistently and often disagree on the plan of care for their patients.
7
When communication does occur, clinicians may overestimate how well their messages are understood by other team members, reflect­ing a phenomenon well-known in communication psychology related to egocentric thought processes.
8,9
Ineffective communication and incom­plete understanding of patients’ care creates and reinforces a culture of low expectations and an environment unable to prevent and/or intercept medical errors before they reach the patient.
Technology may serve as an additional barrier to effective communi­cation despite the common notion that it serves to do the opposite. With increasing use of electronic health records and the exchange of text-mes­sages delivered via pager or email, we move to asynchronous modes of communication which lack important face-to-face communication ele­ments (tone of voice, expression, gesture, eye contact).
10,11

Assessment of Teamwork

Another major challenge in improving teamwork is the difficulty in meas­uring it. Assessment of teamwork entails measurement of knowledge, skills and attitudes of teams composed of multiple individuals. Approaches to evaluate interventions to improve teamwork include:
self-assessment
peer assessment
direct observation
survey of teamwork climate or culture
measurement of clinical outcomes
86
K.J. O’Leary and N.L. Sehgal
While self-report tools are easy to administer and can capture affective components influencing team performance, they may not reflect actual skills or team performance. Peer assessment includes the use of 360­degree evaluations or multisource feedback, and provides evaluation of individual performance. Direct observation offers a more accurate assess­ment of team-related behaviors using trained observers. Observers use checklists and behaviorally anchored rating scales (BARS) to evaluate individual and team performance. Checklists and BARS include specific, observable behaviors reflective of optimal team performance. Teamwork may also be assessed using survey tools to assess attitudes and teamwork climate.
12–14
Higher ratings of collaboration and teamwork have been
associated with better patient outcomes in observational studies.
15–17
The ultimate goal of teamwork efforts is to improve patient outcomes. However, it is often difficult to clearly link improved outcomes with teamwork interventions because patient outcomes are affected by a num­ber of factors and because hospitals frequently engage in multiple, simul­taneous efforts to improve care.

Examples of Successful Interventions

Team Training
Formal teamwork training programs have been implemented in several clin­ical environments, including emergency departments, operating rooms, labor and delivery suites, and intensive care units.
18–21
These “closed” envi­ronments provide the advantage of having all providers identify with a unit­based setting, whereas most medical units have the added challenge of having nurses who are unit-based and physicians (and others) who are often service-based with patients housed on several different units.
The effectiveness of these teamwork training programs is mixed. While many demonstrate increased knowledge of teamwork principles, attitudes about the importance of teamwork, and overall safety climate, evidence for the ability to improve patient outcomes or reduce errors is less compelling.
22
In the hospital medicine setting, a multifaceted teamwork

training program improved provider safety knowledge and attitudes and patient perceptions of teamwork and communication.
23–25
Daily Goals of Care
In intensive care unit (ICU) settings, physicians and nurses work in prox­imity, allowing interdisciplinary discussions to occur at the bedside. The finding that professionals in operating rooms and ICUs have widely dis­crepant views on the quality of collaboration
10, 11
indicates that proximity, alone, is not sufficient for effective communication. Researchers have used daily goals of care forms for bedside ICU rounds in an effort to stan­dardize communication about the daily plan of care.
26, 27
The forms define essential goals of care for patients and their use has resulted in significant improvements in teams’ understanding of those daily goals. The daily goals forms provide structure to the interdisciplinary conversations during rounds in order to enhance collaboration and create a shared understand­ing of patients’ plans of care (i.e. shared mental model).
Interdisciplinary Rounds
Interdisciplinary Rounds (IDRs) have been used for many years as a means to assemble team members in a single location
28–31
and the use of IDR has
been associated with lower mortality among ICU patients.
32
IDR may be particularly useful for clinical settings in which team members are tradi­tionally dispersed in time and place. Early research demonstrated improved ratings of collaboration on the part of physicians.
30,31
Recently, O’Leary and colleagues studied the effect of Structured Inter-Disciplinary Rounds (SIDRs).
33,34
SIDR combines a structured format for communication, sim­ilar to a daily goals of care form, with a forum for regular interdisciplinary meetings. The use of SIDR resulted in significantly higher ratings of the quality of collaboration and teamwork climate on both a non-teaching hos­pitalist unit and a resident teaching unit. The majority of clinicians in the studies agreed that SIDR improved patient care, improved the efficiency of their work day, and that SIDR should continue indefinitely.

Nurse-Physician Unit Co-Leadership
Leadership plays a key role in shaping team culture and norms.35Nurse­physician co-leadership is one recommended strategy for a model to improve the quality and safety of care on hospital units.
36,37
The model includes a new role, a physician unit leader, who partners with the nurse manager to collaboratively take ownership for and accountability of care delivery on that unit. At the University of Pennsylvania Health System, the model is known as Unit Based Clinical Leadership.
36
Nurse man­agers and unit physician leaders co-lead weekly IDR, operations meet­ings, orientation of housestaff, and ongoing performance improvement projects.

Conclusions

In summary, teamwork is critically important to provide safe and effective care. Despite the noted challenges in implementation and evaluation, a number of interventions demonstrate promise for improving teamwork. Future efforts must carefully measure the impact of efforts to assess their effectiveness on patient care and also to demonstrate the utility of resources invested. The optimal approach is implementation of one or more interventions with adaptations to fit unique clinical settings and local culture.
