TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 19. The Future of Teamwork in Health Care A1 - Mosser, Gordon A1 - Begun, James W. PY - 2014 T2 - Understanding Teamwork in Health Care AB - Chapter 18 describes actions that senior leaders of organizations can take to invigorate teamwork in their organizations, focusing on the culture of healthcare delivery organizations. In terms of promoting teamwork in health care, direct delivery organizations are only one piece of a larger puzzle. The conviction that better teamwork can improve health care also needs to be embedded in the context that supports and surrounds healthcare delivery organizations in the United States and globally. Health insurance companies, professional associations, educators, researchers, government, the public, and media all can play important parts in accelerating the improvement of healthcare delivery through enhanced teamwork. In this chapter, we review ways that those constituencies can encourage teamwork more proactively.
