Your post this week was great, and I couldn’t agree more with the things you stated. You commented on the ability to have effective teamwork even with limited resources. In healthcare, we can all relate that we have been in a situation where we have been functioning within limited resources, but the successes or failures during those times greatly depended on teamwork. If the teamwork was strong, then there were successes. If there was little teamwork, everyone suffers. I also appreciated your mention of nurse leaders’ involvement in motivation and empowerment of their staff. I have had the opportunity to be a nurse leader in many different settings and each with unique teams. I found the most important part of my leadership was providing motivation and involvement in unit decisions to have high staff satisfaction. Healthcare workers do not want to be micro-managed, when they are, they are dissatisfied and discouraged. Empowerment of healthcare workers from their leaders gives them the drive to accomplish their tasks and perform the job to the best of their ability (Costello et al., 2021).

- TEXT 1 for discussion post
Team effectiveness is important for the quality of patient care. For a team to work effectively, is to create a culture of collaboration and decision-making is being shared. To work as a team is to have a clear common goal in mind. In healthcare, the goal is patient outcomes. To work as a team is putting aside personal differences while recognizing shared differences by being cognizant of culture diversity. Every team member needs to be respectful not to cross boundaries when it comes to each member’s role.
Every team member works cohesively in promoting an environment of productivity and developing patient goal-oriented outcomes. Each discipline needs to be aware that their input is valuable for the best outcomes. In healthcare a team brings vast knowledge in how to critically think and brainstorming abilities to provide care that result in sending patient for less testing, eliminating duplicate tests which creates desired outcomes, cost containment and effective improvement in health services, and satisfaction of the patient. Interdisciplinary refers to an increase/high-level of concept that requires a degree of coordination, cooperation with team members, it acknowledge that sometimes one member of the team is not sufficient, and that collaboration is needed to develop a clear concise plan of action (Flores-Sandoval, et al., 2021). Some of the conditions that are essential to an effective healthcare team are clear goal setting, culture appropriation, an effective leader, competent members, and adequate resources.
A lack of teamwork within the discipline can result in poor safety and poor quality of care of the patients. Effectiveness of teamwork can be influenced by an existing relationship of a member to another discipline within the team. Poor communication skills and delivery system can affect team effectiveness. Team failure can happen due to teams’ disciplines lack of competence or failure to incorporate individual knowledge for the common goal. Ineffective teams can create chaos within the delivery of care because of poor coordination, poor collaboration, and inadequate leadership which can create a lack of trust in the healthcare system from patients and families. Ineffective teams have interpersonal conflict which leads to poor performance that puts patient safety at risk.
Basogul, (2021) noted that ineffective management of conflicts in institutions could be a threat to successful teamwork. How conflicts are being resolved is of great importance in team building. Unresolved conflicts among the disciplines can lead to mental and emotional anguish which in turn affects patient desired outcomes. A lack of support from leadership in conflict resolution affects team effectiveness which adds to the stress already experienced in the workplace.

Experience as part of the clinical team
A strong team brings people together to work toward the organization’s overall goals effectively and productively. Collaboration, knowledge sharing, and knowledge of each employee’s capabilities (strengths, shortcomings, etc.) all contribute to innovation, increased productivity, and increased revenue. (Babiker, 2014)
Players that work well in a team are necessary. Employees who naturally interact and work effectively with others are therefore in high demand in the job market. Every organization will have a different approach to team building, depending on a variety of variables such as culture, industry, size, structure, objectives, and more. (Valamis, 2023)
Even though creating a competent team and fostering productive communication might be labor-intensive, the results are worthwhile. Some advantages of a strong team include innovation and the generation of fresh ideas, increased productivity, higher employee morale and motivation, decreased stress and built-in support networks, knowledge transfer, improved flexibility, dispute resolution, mutual trust, and respect among team members. (Valamis, 2023)
The cooperation of all the teams in providing a better healthcare service can promptly and kindly impact patient welfare and outcome. As illnesses and the difficulty of the medical field enhance, so does the requirement for effective teams. The days of a doctor, dentist, or another health professional in any healthcare organization being able to only provide high-quality care that satisfied their patients are long gone. (Babiker, 2014)
The advancement of healthcare and the need for high-quality patient care on a wide-reaching degree call for real-time qualified professionals’ development in the field of healthcare with a strong emphasis on patient-centered cooperation. Only by putting the patient at the center of care and by fostering a broad-based culture of beliefs and philosophy will this be possible.
This desire to support the formation and growth of a solid crew that can provide patients with enormous support. To achieve this, team partners’ incentive has to be carried by approaches and practical talents to meet ideas and defeat obstacles. (Babiker, 2014)
In association both of the teams get together to accomplish synchronized, high-quality care, for both patients and their caregivers and they require to work supportively with two healthcare professionals to accomplish collective objectives within all settings. This care is a necessity supported for individuals, families, and/or communities as a whole.
Encompassing responsibility and accountability involvement between team members in healthcare systems has many improvements. Nowadays, though, collective accountability without good teamwork can put patients and/or families at risk right away. For insistence, it has become gradually more regular for consumers to prosecute healthcare providers because of ineffective consultation among medical staff, patients, and their caretakers. (Valamis, 2023).
