Teamwork is a vital skill for health care professionals, but the fragmented systems within which they work frequently do not recognize or support good teamwork. The American Board of Internal Medicine has developed and is testing the Teamwork Effectiveness Assessment Module (TEAM), a tool for physicians to evaluate how they perform as part of an interprofessional patient care team. The assessment provides hospitalist physicians with feedback data drawn from their own work of caring for patients, in a way that is intended to support immediate, concrete change efforts to improve the quality of patient care. Our approach demonstrates the value of looking at teamwork in the real world of health care-that is, as it occurs in the actual contexts in which providers work together to care for patients. The assessment of individual physicians' teamwork competencies may play a role in the larger effort to bring disparate health professions together in a system that supports and rewards a team approach in hope of improving patient care.
团队合作对于医疗保健专业人员来说是一项至关重要的技能，但他们工作所在的碎片化系统通常无法识别或支持良好的团队合作。美国内科医师学会已经开发并正在测试团队有效性评估模块（TEAM），这是一种供医生评估他们作为跨专业患者护理团队成员表现的工具。该评估为住院医师提供了来自他们照顾患者工作的反馈数据，旨在支持立即采取具体的变革措施，以提高患者护理质量。我们的方法展示了在医疗保健的实际环境中观察团队合作的价值，即，在提供者共同照顾患者的实际背景下进行观察。评估个别医生的团队合作能力可能在将不同的健康专业人员聚集在一个支持和奖励团队方法的系统中发挥作用，以期改善患者护理。
