Assessing teamwork is crucial before developing a practice development unit (PDU). The Team Climate Inventory (TCI) tool revealed insufficient teamwork, guiding the development of trust plans for PDU accreditation.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Organizational Psychology

Background:

  • Practice development units (PDUs) aim to enhance healthcare quality and innovation.
  • Successful PDU creation requires a strong foundation of effective teamwork.
  • The Team Climate Inventory (TCI) is a validated tool for assessing team dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utility of the Team Climate Inventory (TCI) in the preparatory phase of Practice Development Unit (PDU) creation.
  • To assess the existing level of teamwork within a clinical ward.
  • To determine if the assessed teamwork level is adequate for PDU development.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Team Climate Inventory (TCI), a survey instrument employing Likert scales.
  • Administered the TCI to assess the climate of teamwork in a specific hospital ward.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analyzed TCI results to identify strengths and weaknesses in team collaboration.

    • Main Results:

    • The study found a suboptimal level of teamwork within the ward, insufficient for successful PDU development.
    • TCI data provided specific insights into the team's climate, highlighting areas needing improvement.
    • The findings directly informed the creation of targeted trust-building plans.

    Conclusions:

    • The Team Climate Inventory (TCI) is a valuable tool for evaluating team readiness for initiatives like PDU development.
    • Units seeking PDU accreditation should proactively assess their teamwork climate using tools like the TCI.
    • Addressing identified teamwork deficits is essential before embarking on PDU creation to ensure success.
