Teamwork in Healthcare

Teamwork

Teamwork is the backbone of successful healthcare delivery. When individuals come together with a shared purpose, they can navigate complexities, solve problems, and deliver exceptional care. However, fostering a culture of collaboration in the fast-paced, high-stakes world of healthcare is a challenge. The pressure to act quickly can sometimes undermine the importance of teamwork in healthcare. J3P Health can help turn these challenges into a strength.

The importance of teamwork skills in healthcare:

Teamwork issues can lead to disrupted workflows, miscommunications, and a compromised patient experience. Addressing these issues head-on with targeted training can foster a positive environment where everyone feels valued and supported.

Signs of poor teamwork in a healthcare organization:

  1. SILOED DEPARTMENTS
    Departments operate independently, leading to disjointed efforts.

  2. HIGH STAFF TURNOVER
    Lack of collaboration and support may lead to increased staff dissatisfaction and turnover.

  3. INEFFICIENT WORKFLOWS
    Poor teamwork can result in redundant or inconsistent processes.

  4. DECLINE IN PATIENT SATISFACTION
    Patients may sense the lack of coordination, affecting their perception of care.

Our approach creates high-functioning teams.

J3P Health transcends standard training to establish enduring, impactful change tailored to your organization's specific needs.

Form the question and assess the situation.

J3P interviews you and your team to fully understand the current state. Our goal is to assess whether or not the team is functioning as a goal congruent team or a group, which is aligned.

1.

Define the problem to solve.

J3P reports our initial assessment of themes and factors contributing to team motivation and success, as well as what the challenged areas may be. This is typically a combination of factors that can be addressed once defined within context to the appropriate stakeholders.

2.

Develop and implement the plan.

J3P works with the leaders individually and then collectively in team workshops. Both are necessary to increase individualized self-awareness, in addition to an analysis of the strengths and challenges impacting team performance.

3.

Measure and assess progress.

Throughout the developmental process, we maintain positive contact with the people and organizational sponsors in various states of change. We will adjust implementation along the way to account for changes in team dynamics and environmental circumstances.
