Expertise Redundancy, Transactive Memory, and Team Performance in Interdisciplinary Care Teams.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:To examine how expertise redundancy and transactive memory (TM) in interdisciplinary care teams (ICTs) are related to team performance. DATA SOURCES/STUDY SETTING:Survey and administrative data were collected from 26 interdisciplinary mental health teams. STUDY DESIGN:The study used a longitudinal, observational design. Independent variables were measured at baseline, 6, and 12 months: expertise redundancy (the extent to which team members possess highly overlapping knowledge), TM accuracy (the extent to which team members accurately recognize experts in relevant knowledge domains), and TM consensus (the extent to which team members agree on who is expert in which knowledge domain). Team performance was measured as risk-adjusted average number of client hospitalization for the 6
