Effective teams have been shown to improve patient outcomes, boost employee morale, and increase job satisfaction. However, team building is not a simple one-time activity that can be done in advance of a specific project, but rather an intentional, methodical process that requires time and attention. Identifying how teams work best and why they fail is mission critical to the success of any organization. The risk of not addressing these success factors is significant and will limit growth and impact all areas of the organization. This course will provide all professionals in any health care setting a foundation for exploring the process of building a team and creating specific conditions for team effectiveness and high performance, and specific tools for enhancing communication with team members.
