The Good Old Days . . . • In the mid 1900’s, what was medicine like? • Physician controlled medical care. • Physician “prescribed” other modalities and told other professionals exactly what to do and how to do it. • Physician was autonomous and received little input from other health professions.
Hierarchical Tyrannical/dictatorial/ cruel Fear Abusive Malignant Inflexible Intolerant Traditional Leadershipin Medicine “Never argue with the Chief”
Times Have Changed! • In the 1970’s, health care began its reform and physicians began to depend on other health professionals to assist with patient care functions. • Managing the care of individuals and populations often requires participation in team-based efforts. • Other health professionals have learned how to maximize their opportunities, and to affect the direction of health care reform. • Other health professions are now respected patient care providers with much to contribute to the health care system.
Traditional Leadershipin Medicine • No longer considered a successful approach • Not tolerated in clinical settings
Medical Leaders • To practice medicine is to serve in the capacity of leader or team member on multiple teams simultaneously at any given time.

The New Paradigm • Teams and teamwork represent the basis of a new paradigm in health care. • Shifts in: • Where employees work • What functions they perform • In which disciplines they work • How they interact with each other • Increasing numbers of workers are now expected to cross-train and function as effective team members.
Teamwork • Quality health care depends on every health care worker doing his/her part. • Professionals with different backgrounds, different education, different ideas, different responsibilities, and different interests all work together to provide appropriate quality care. • Well coordinated teamwork across the health professions can provide effective and cost-effective patient care.
Teamwork • In almost any health care career, you will be a part of an interdisciplinary health care team (practitioners from different professions who share a common patient population and common patient care goals with responsibility for complementary tasks). • The team concept was created to provide quality holistic health care to every patient. • It is essential that you learn to become a “team player” and learn to work well with others.
Teamwork • The members of the team may change from day to day, depending on the medical situation. • The team’s goal stays the same - - to provide quality health care for patients that will: • Help patients get well and/or stay well. • Contribute to diagnosing diseases or conditions. • Make patients more comfortable or otherwise improve the quality of their lives.
Teamwork Model • Components: • Common group of patients. • Common goals for patient outcome and shared commitment to meeting these goals. • Member functions are appropriate to an individual’s education and expertise. • Team members understand each other’s roles. • Mechanism for communication. • Mechanism for monitoring patient outcome. • Strong sense of team identity.
Values/Behaviors: Trust among all parties Knowledge and trust remove the need for supervision Joint decision making Mutual respect for the expertise of all members of the team – this respect is communicated to the patient Communication that is not hierarchic but rather two-way facilitating sharing of information & knowledge Cooperation & coordination promote the use of the skills of all team members, prevent duplication, and enhance the productivity Optimism that this is the most effective method of delivery of quality of care Teamwork Model
Advantages of Teamwork • For Patients: • Improves care by increasing coordination of services, especially for complex problems. • Empowers patients as active partners in care. • Can serve patients of diverse cultural backgrounds. • Uses time more efficiently.
Advantages of Teamwork • For Health Care Professionals: • Increases professional satisfaction. • Enables the practitioner to learn new skills and approaches. • Encourages innovation. • Allows provider to focus on individual areas of expertise.
Advantages of Teamwork • For the Health Care Delivery System: • Holds potential for more efficient delivery of care. • Maximizes resources and facilities. • Decreases burden on acute care facilities as a result of increased preventive care.

Interdisciplinary Teams • In contrast to: • Disciplinary or independent medical management approach • in which a practitioner works autonomously with limited input from other practitioners.
Interdisciplinary Teams • In contrast to: • Multidisciplinary approach • which involves various health care professionals working independently - - not collaboratively - - with each responsible for a different patient need.
Interdisciplinary Teams • In contrast to: • Consultative approach • in which one practitioner retains central responsibility and consults with others as needed.
Leader’s Power and Influence • Influence is important to the leadership process because it is the means by which leaders “successfully persuade others to follow their advice, suggestion or order”. The essence of leadership is the ability to influence others. To have influence, however, one also must have power.
Types of power PATRIARCHAL • Reward power • Coercive power • Legitimate power=position power=Authority • Expert power (Area of specialization)
PATRIARCHAL • Referent power: association with the powerful inspiring admiration Charisma (personal) • Informational power: • Self power (feminist power)
Most effective leaders rely on several different forms of power e.g. giving orders (legitimate), praising (reward), & disciplining (coercive). Power must be used wisely to influence people e.g. abuse of coercive power may lead to weakening or loss of referent power. Effective leaders understand the costs, risks, and benefits of using each kind of power and are able to recognize which to draw on in different situations and with different people.
