As we enter into this new profession it is important to consider the team that we will be working with. In the last few years it has become more apparent that working in interdisciplinary teams creates a better outcome for the patients.
There are many factors that can enhance an interdisciplinary team. According to Al Sayah et al., 2014, leadership, team, support, and environment are the four major components to building a good interdisciplinary team. Having a good leadership team that has common goals of how the team will enhance the patient’s outcomes. The relationship of the team members and whether they have developed trust within their team. This has to be built and to do that we should practice like we play, such as in mock codes. Respect each other for what they are able to bring to the table. The support process is a major part of the continuing support for the patient. The patient having follow up throughout. An environment can often enhance or diminish the outcome of the team’s success. Keeping the team decentralized will lead to better success. Nurses have implemented programs such as TEAM STEPPS into their teams as well as closed loop communication. Everyone needs to be on the same page and feel as though they are an important part of the team.
