First, teamwork assessment was based on subjective scoring by facilitators who had a professional investment in improving team dynamics.
35 Our study suggests that explicit interventional focus on improving team dynamics and communication may be even more critical in African healthcare settings than in high-income countries.
However, more recently, clinical team behaviour has been investigated as a possible contributor to compromised patient safety and a focus on improving team dynamics developed as part of the pathway to improved outcomes [ 1- 3].
The effectiveness of task shifting was subsequently confirmed by randomized trials [ 18], and substantial programmatic evidence has now accumulated around the benefits of task shifting in terms of increased access to care and improved team dynamics [ 19].
At work, this leads to better work performance, better team dynamics, improved leadership, more closed sales, better customer service, more effective communication, more energy, better ability to focus, and improved productivity.
In this regard, Callaghan et al 14 conducted a systematic review of 84 articles on HIV treatment and care in SSA, and their findings suggest that task-shifting strategies led to improved efficiency in delivery of healthcare services, enhanced access to care, better team dynamics and improved quality of care and health outcomes for patients with HIV/AIDS.
In general, virtual teams desire richer media to improve team interaction.
We investigated these questions: Does formal team training improve team behaviors in the trauma resuscitation bay?
In the future, we plan to improve team structure and cohesiveness through team-bonding preparatory activities.
