Tools and Strategies for TeamworkTo learn how hospital labor and delivery units can achieve effective and sustainable teamwork practices and how much such practices affect staff experiences and patient outcomes, RAND researchers studied five units as they implemented improvements in their teamwork practices over a one-year period. They identified some key factors required by any given strategy for teamwork improvement but no standard template for implementation.Technical report (Rand Corporation)Maternal health care teamsMaternal health servicesAdministrationMaternal health care teams.Maternal health servicesAdministration.362.11068/3Farley Donna848919Center for Military Health Policy Research.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910219978703321Achieving strong teamwork practices in hospital labor and delivery units2192368UNINA
