Five Influential Factors for Clinical Team Performance in Urgent, Emergency Care Contexts

Abstract

In deployed contexts, military medical care is provided through the coordinated efforts of multiple interdisciplinary teams that work across and between a continuum of widely distributed role theaters. The forms these teams take, and functional demands, vary by roles of care, location, and mission requirements. Understanding the requirements for optimal performance of these teams to provide emergency, urgent, and trauma care for multiple patients simultaneously is critical. A team’s collective ability to function is dependent on the clinical expertise (knowledge and skills), authority, experience, and affective management capabilities of the team members. Identifying the relative impacts of multiple performance factors on the accuracy of care provided by interdisciplinary clinical teams will inform targeted development requirements.
