Question

What elements are found in an effective health care work group? I need four to five elements

Answer 1

The elements, the specific skills, and aptitudes needed to collaborate effectively can be learned:

Knowledge of the role of the health professional;

The ability to communicate effectively with other health professionals;

Ability to reflect the roles and attitudes of health professionals with respect to mutual trust; and

The willingness to collaborate.

Most importantly, establishing a model of "intervention" that would facilitate teamwork could be either a service, activity, method, process, tool, approach or strategy applied in the health services environment to encourage teamwork.

*Interventions can occur at the practical level (with health professionals on the teams) or organizational level (with leaders and administrators supporting teams).
