Teamworking is critical to good quality care
What is a team?
•Beasts of burden yoked together.
What defines a Team?• Teams are defined by their task not by
the team members.• Team members are selected because
they have the mix of skills necessary for the task to be completed successfully.
What is a team?The very basics:
A group of people who:• Have a clear task to perform• Need to work together to achieve this
task• Are able to meet together to review
objectives and the way in which the team is performing
What is a team• “A team is a group of individuals who work
together:– to produce products or deliver services for which they
are mutually accountable. – Team members share goals – and are mutually held accountable for meeting them, – they are interdependent in their accomplishment,– and they affect the results through their interactions
with one another. – Because the team is held collectively accountable, the
work of integrating with one another is included among the responsibilities of each member.”
Mohrman, Cohen & Mohrman (1995). Designing Team-Based Organisations. London: Jossey Bass
Teams have the following characteristics:• Team members have shared objectives in relation to their work.
• Team members interact with each other in order to achieve these shared objectives.
• Team members have more or less well defined roles, some of which are differentiated from each other.
• Teams have an organisational identity – they have a defined organisational function and are recognised as a team by others outside the team.
• The team task performance has consequences that affect others inside or outside the organisation.– Developing Team Working in Health Care A Guide for Managers

Working in teams in the NHS• Do you work in a team?
• If yes …– Does your team have clear objectives?– Do you have to work closely together to
achieve these objectives?– Do you meet regularly to review your team
effectiveness and how it could be improved?
It is possible to:• Not be in a team
• Be in a pseudo team
• Be in a real team
Real teams• Team Interdependence
• Team Identity
• Team Autonomy
• Team Objectives
• Team Member Role Clarity
• Team Reflexivity
• Clarity of Leadership
• There is team learning behaviour
Real teams• Team Interdependence
– Team members have to work closely together to complete the team task
• Team Identity
– It is clear who is in the team and the team is recognised as a team by others in the organisation
Real Teams
• Team Autonomy
– The team has sufficient control and discretion to decide how to carry out team tasks
• Team Objectives
– The team has clear objectives which are agreed by all team members and to which all team members are committed
Real teams
• Team Member Role Clarity
– Each team member is clear about their own role and the roles of others within the team
• Team Reflexivity
– The team meets regularly to review objectives and the ways in which the team is achieving these
Real teams
• Clarity of Leadership
– Everyone is clear about who is the leader of the team and there is no conflict about leadership
• There is team learning behaviour
– Team members share learning which enables the team to adapt and improve performance
Team Based Working
• Team Based Working is a philosophy or attitude about the way in which organisations work –
• where decisions are made by teams of people rather than by individuals and
• at the closest possible point to the client, patient or customer.

• Those working in well functioning teams report higher levels of organisational commitment
and• Higher levels of adherence to organisational
ruleswhilst• Implementing more innovations in patient care• Effective team working is correlated with more
effective clinical governance
Individual and organisation
Retention and turnover• Within healthcare, those working in well
functioning teams are more likely to stay working in their current organisation than those working in poorly functioning teams.
• A stable workforce will tend to report less accidents, errors and work related injuries.

Stress
• In the NHS those not working in teams have much higher stress levels
–Carter and West 1999
Benefits of team based working – the research evidence• Reduced hospitalisation and associated costs• Improved service provision• Improved levels of innovation in patient care• Enhanced patient satisfaction• Increased staff motivation and mental
well-being• Reduced error rates• Reduced violence and aggression• Lower patient mortality
A Pseudo Team
A group whose members claim to be part of a team but the group does not exhibit the characteristics of a team
“Common behaviours seen in pseudo teams include• lack of common purpose,• a purpose with which members cannot identify, • inability to focus on a goal,• poor relationships among members,• interpersonal attacks,• members whose personal ambition overshadows the
common goal,• inability or unwillingness to evaluate outcomes,• lack of clear responsibility, and unknown or inappropriate
levels of responsibility.” – Team-Based Health Care Organizations – Blueprint for success. Jo
Manion, William Lorimer, William J Leander. Aspen Publications 1996
