We investigated the effects of dyadic training on medical students' resuscitation performance during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training.We provided students with a 2-hour training session on CPR for simulated cardiac arrest. Student teams were split into double groups (Dyad training groups: Groups A and B) or Single Groups. All groups received 2 CPR simulation rounds. CPR simulation t...

Team-based care is a foundation of health care redesign models like the patient-centered medical home (PCMH). Yet few practices rigorously examine how the implementation of PCMH relates to teamwork. We identified factors associated with the perception of a practice operating as a real team. An online workforce survey was conducted with all staff of 12 primary care sites of Cambridge Health Alli...

BACKGROUND Patients are safer and receive higher quality care when providers work as a highly effective team. Investment in optimising healthcare teamwork has swelled in the last 10 years. Consequently, evidence regarding the effectiveness for these interventions has also grown rapidly. We provide an updated review concerning the current state of team-training science and practice in acute care...

UNLABELLED The ability to work effectively on a team is highly valued by employers, and collaboration among students can lead to intrinsic motivation, increased persistence, and greater transferability of skills. Moreover, innovation often arises from multidisciplinary teamwork. The influence of personality and ability on undergraduate teamwork and performance is not comprehensively understood....

Agent teamwork has been widely studied in the fields of Distributed AI. Much success has been achieved in defining agent teamwork theory to explain how agents should act together as a team and in developing programming frameworks to simulate team coordinations in software environment. With the advent of ubiquitous computing technology, agent teamwork research will be pushed to its limit, facing...

Complex problem solving is challenging and a high-level cognitive process for individuals. When analyzing complex problem solving in teams, an additional, new dimension has to be considered, as teamwork processes increase the requirements already put on individual team members. After introducing an idealized teamwork process model, that complex problem solving teams pass through, and integratin...

Given the exposure of the Internet and the Web, there is a significant impact on Web-based cooperative teamwork support which can be beneficial to many teamwork managers and normal team members who may be either computing or non-computing professionals. In this paper, we focus on our research into a more effective architecture for Web-based teamwork automation support and its corresponding inno...

© 2004 Society of Rural Physicians of Canada Can J Rural Med 2004; 9 (3) I f ever there was an overused “buzzword,“ it is “teamwork.“ It’s a brave soul who dares to raise objections to participating in a “team effort,” and unless I’m careful, this editorial, in spite of the fact that it has not yet explained itself, risks having raised the hackles on many a neck already! It should first be said...

BACKGROUND The process involved in organ procurement and transplantation is very complex that requires multidisciplinary coordination and teamwork. To prevent error during the processes, teamwork education and training might play an important role. We wished to evaluate the efficacy of implementing a Team Resource Management (TRM) program on patient safety and the behaviors of the team members ...
