Evidence-Based Strategies to Create High-Performance Interprofessional Teams

Addressing Shortcomings

Interdepartmental Communication Channels:Implement regular meetings, teambuilding exercises, or a communication platform to foster collaboration and address departmental silos (McDermott et al., 2021).

Work-Life Balance Initiatives: Address workload concerns by implementing flexible scheduling, workload management strategies, or additional staffing during peak times.

Bolstering Successful Practices

Departmental Recognition:Recognize and celebrate successful teamwork within the department to reinforce positive behaviors and encourage collaboration across departments (Marshall & Broome, 2021).

Peer Recognition Programs:Implement a program to acknowledge and appreciate positive contributions from colleagues across departments, fostering a more supportive and civil work environment (Hover & Williams, 2022).

My answer: By implementing these evidence-based strategies, the organization can cultivate a more positive work environment with improved civility, teamwork, and staff retention. Remember, a healthy work environment benefits employees and patient care. The single most important relationship an employee has is that with their immediate supervisor (Anthony et al., 2005).
