A team has been working together for six months to improve a patient outcome, and the desired result has not been achieved. An assessment of team effectiveness was conducted and revealed the following:
The healthcare quality professional should recommend
The assessment reveals that while team member satisfaction and growth scores are high (96% and 95% respectively), team productivity is slightly lower at 90%. Since the desired patient outcome has not been achieved, it is important to identify and address any barriers that may be hindering the team's productivity. By evaluating these barriers, the team can better understand the factors impacting their ability to meet their goals, such as workflow inefficiencies, resource limitations, or external factors affecting performance.
The other options are less relevant in this context:
Developing interventions to maintain team member satisfaction (B) is unnecessary at this point, as satisfaction is already high.
Continuing to monitor as the team is performing within acceptable limits (C) does not address the fact that the desired outcomes have not been achieved.
Creating a reward system based on team member growth (D) is unrelated to the immediate issue of productivity and patient outcomes.
