Teambuilding in the Critical Care SettinG
The Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) has recognized and promoted the concept of a multiprofessional team approach in critical care for more than 30 years. Critical care professionals know that a multiprofessional team approach to patient care will help to reduce redundancy, provide coordinated care, and assist with developing solutions to complex problems of the changing patient status. This can all lead to enhanced quality, lower costs and reduced errors. This Web page was developed as a teambuilding resource for everyone in the critical care profession – ranging from those planning to implement the multiprofessional team concept in their ICU to others who are just looking to build their teambuilding skills.
“SCCM envisions a world in which all critically ill and injured persons receive care from integrated teams of dedicated experts directed by trained and present intensivist physicians. Multiprofessional teams use knowledge, technology and compassion to provide timely, safe, effective and efficient patent-centered care.”
(SCCM Mission Statement - 2005 SCCM Strategic Plan)
