Toward spanning the quality chasm: An examination of team functioning measures
2014, Archives of Physical Medicine and RehabilitationCitation Excerpt :However, there is no consensus on the characteristics of team functioning pivotal to patient outcome, nor is there agreement that team functioning, itself, is necessarily a primary and causal influence in patient outcome. In the absence of empirical evidence to the contrary, Whyte11 argues that team functioning is, at best, an indirect indicator of quality, not an active ingredient of quality. To our knowledge, this study differs from the previous literature to evaluate the effect on patient outcome of changes in components of team functioning that can be reliably measured.

2014, Archives of Physical Medicine and RehabilitationCitation Excerpt :However, unless these coordination efforts are translated into actual work for and with the patient, they have no treatment effect in and of themselves. As Whyte37 has argued, the physical and social structure of the rehabilitation facility only set limits to what can be delivered; actual delivery of effective treatments may or may not take place. Consequently, while team rounds and the many other coordinative activities that are needed to turn a small or large group of individuals into an efficient team may be useful in describing processes, they do not by themselves explain results.
