CARDIOVASCULAR CARE, POWERED BY TEAMWORK!

Healthcare professionals continue to demonstrate that it is only through teamwork that quality care can be delivered reliably and effectively. In no other specialty do we see the impact of working together resulting in strengthened outcomes than in the cardiovascular arena.

Cardiovascular professionals, specifically, have demonstrated an enormously compassionate commitment to delivering emergent and routine care for the most vulnerable and intensive populations in the health care system.

Truly, cardiovascular professionals work as a team to strengthen care in healing the hearts of individuals, families and communities.

What can be achieved by modern cardiovascular care is nothing short of amazing, and it wouldn't be possible without the many diverse professionals—not only the doctors but also the technologists and nurses providing crucial support and ensuring quick, safe, accurate and compassionate care.

WHY IS EFFECTIVE TEAM WORKING IMPORTANT?

Effective team working has been shown to reduce medial errors, increase patient safety and improve patient mortality rates. It also leads to better staff outcomes including reduced stress and improved job satisfaction.

THE IMPORTANCE OF COLLABORATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING.

Research shows that collaborative problem solving leads to better outcomes. People are more likely to take calculated risks that lead to innovation if they have the support of a team behind them. Working in a team encourages personal growth, increases job satisfaction, and reduces stress.

THE KEY TO BUILDING STRONG TEAMS? COLLABORATION!

Strong teams start with collaborations. These collaborations focus on clearly defining plans, clearly defining goals, and clearly defining roles!

WHAT DOES AN EFFECTIVE TEAM LOOK LIKE?

An effective team is a one where the team members, including the patients, communicate with each other, as well as merging their observations, expertise and decision-making responsibilities to optimize patients' care.
