Effective collaboration between professional groups is increasingly seen as an essential element in good quality and safe health care. This is especially important in the context of maternity care, where most women have straightforward labour and birth experiences, but some require rapid transfer between care providers and settings. This article presents current accounts of collaboration--or lack of it--in maternity care in the United Kingdom, United States, and Australia. It then examines tools designed to measure collaboration and teamwork within general health care contexts. Finally, a set of characteristics are proposed for effective collaboration in maternity care, as a basis for further empirical work in this area.
专业团队之间的有效协作越来越被视为高质量和安全医疗保健的重要组成部分。在产科护理中尤其如此，大多数女性的分娩经历都很顺利，但有些女性则需要在护理提供者和环境之间快速转移。本文介绍了英国、美国和澳大利亚产科护理中协作（或缺乏协作）的现状。然后，本文研究了旨在衡量一般医疗保健环境中的协作和团队合作的工具。最后，提出了一套有效的产科护理协作的特征，作为该领域进一步实证工作的基础。
