Interest in effective health care teamwork has advanced in recent years. To ensure these teams are performing effectively, valid and reliable measurement is necessary. This review identifies and organizes information about measures of health care team performance by addressing the following objectives: (a) identify existing measures of health care team performance ( k = 70), (b) summarize validity evidence (i.e., construct and content validity), (c) summarize reliability information (i.e., interrater/interobserver reliability and internal consistency), (d) summarize information pertaining to the use and implementation of the measures (i.e., generalizability, instrument type, and clarity of language), and (e) identify the teamwork content included in the measures. These findings can aid researchers and practitioners in selecting a measure that is appropriate for a specific context. This review also illuminates areas where future research is needed by identifying types of reliability, validity, and teamwork content that have been largely unaddressed.

AbstractSexual and gender minority patients have historically experienced high rates of inappropriate and low-quality care, disrespect, and discrimination in health care settings, as well as significant health disparities. Obstetricians and gynecologists can take action on multiple fronts if they wish to improve the quality of care for their sexual and gender minority patients. Examples include improving their relationships with sexual and gender minority patients and family members by purposefully reflecting upon individual and team biases, engendering empathy for sexual and gender minority patients, and creating effective working health care partnerships with them. They can also take steps to improve their cultural competency by improving their knowledge base about sexual orientation and gender identity, using welcoming language and creating health care environments that signal to sexual and gender minority patients that they are welcomed and understood. This article documents multiple suggestions and resources that health care teams can use to improve the health and health care of their sexual and gender minority patients.

AbstractThere are few topics of more importance in health care today than surgical leadership. The surgical leader will need to organize and maintain a collective effort if the organization is going to be effective. Health care teams work in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous ecosystem. Therefore, surgeons must develop skills beyond the operating room. The facilitative leader will lead from the middle, not the top. They will empower coworkers to participate in creating a vision by building consensus, developing teams, clarifying roles, and earning the loyalty and trust of their colleagues. Surgical leaders will use communication as the vehicle for their success, including intentional listening, asking open-ended questions, and creating dialog instead of argumentative exchanges. The future of health care belongs to the physicians who are investing the time and effort today to become leaders.
