How effective is teamwork really? The relationship between teamwork and performance in healthcare teams: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To investigate the relationship between teamwork and clinical performance and potential moderating variables of this relationship.

Design

Data source

Eligibility criteria

Studies were included if they reported a relationship between a teamwork process (eg, coordination, non-technical skills) and a performance measure (eg, checklist based expert rating, errors) in an acute care setting.
