Summary:

Teamwork is one of the most essential qualities for the success of any healthcare system. It has been seen that in the absence of teamwork, teams fail to perform to the best of their abilities. Home health is not about the care one individual clinician provides; it is the patient who the team exists for, and it is quality patient care that is the end result. A healthcare team that practices patient-centered care understands and believes that thinking, planning, decisions, and actions are better when done together to achieve the common goal of quality patient care. The belief that "none of us is as good as all of us" is recognized in a great team approach. We exist to serve the patient. Teamwork exists in its finest when it is recognized that each individual brings to the healthcare experience their unique beliefs, their unique values, their unique experiences, as well as their unique strengths. For a brief moment in time, the team will touch and make a difference not only in the patient's life but also in the life of each member of the team. Every member contributes and is a valuable part of the team.LESSON OBJECTIVESAfter completion of this program, the home health aide will be able to:Define the attributes of a teamUnderstand the responsibilities of being a good team memberAssess your team and what you can do to make it more successfulUnderstand the contributions and responsibilities of a team memberUnderstand the different stages of forming a teamContents of this lesson:A clearly written fact sheetA 10-question post-test to measure understanding of the subject matterAn answer sheet with a place for the instructor's comments and signatureAn illustrative, homecare-specific case studySuggested supplemental learning activitiesAn attendance log and certificate of completion
