Understanding intra- and interprofessional team and teamwork processes by exploring facility-based neonatal care in kenyan hospitals.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Within intensive care settings such as neonatal intensive care units, effective intra- and interprofessional teamwork has been linked to a significant reduction of errors and overall improvement in the quality of care.

Initiatives aimed at improving intra- and interprofessional teamwork in healthcare settings largely draw on studies conducted in high-income countries, with those from resource-constrained low and middle countries, particularly in the context of newborn care lacking.
