The current study examined the organizational social context in 21 community-based programs serving youth at-risk for out-of-home care due to emotional or behavioral disorders and their families and program performance on five quality indicators of team functioning in teams that included a family support specialist. Results indicate that programs with higher performance on structures to facilitate teamwork, informal communication mechanisms among team members, and the ability to integrate family support specialists as equal members of the team showed more positive organizational functioning. Implications for the role of quality indicators in health care reform efforts are discussed.
本研究考察了21个社区项目的组织社会环境,这些项目为因情绪或行为障碍而面临家庭外安置风险的青少年及其家庭提供服务,还考察了在包含家庭支持专员的团队中,项目在团队运作的五个质量指标方面的表现。结果表明,在促进团队合作的结构、团队成员之间的非正式沟通机制以及将家庭支持专员作为团队平等成员融入的能力方面表现更优的项目,其组织功能更积极。文中还讨论了质量指标在医疗改革努力中的作用。
