In a paper of 1,000-1,250-word, address the following: clinical and administrative sides.
1. Why are teams a valuable point of focus when considering quality improvement in health care?
2. What distinguishes a team as high performing within a health care environment? Identify five reasons why high-performing teams are necessary when assessing quality.
3. Discuss how team processes and the varying roles of individuals can impact quality assessment both positively and negatively. Consider elements such as leadership roles, individual responsibilities, delegation of tasks, decision making, ongoing training/education, etc.
4. How does the cross-functionality of a high-performing team enhance its ability to meet the quality improvement goals of a health care organization? How might having an interdisciplinary team potentially create conflict? How could these tensions be mitigated to improve team effectiveness?
5. How do elements such as conflict and change affect the dynamics of the team and its ability to reach a unified goal?
6. Discuss the resources and types of support available that might enhance a team’s efforts for continued quality improvement. Consider how components such as team culture, support, communication, and rewards may come into play.
