| Abstract: | ObjectiveTo develop and validate a survey instrument designed to measure team dynamics in primary care.ConclusionsIt is possible to measure primary care team dynamics reliably using a 29-item survey. This survey may be used in ambulatory settings to study teamwork and explore the effect of efforts to improve team-based care. Future studies should demonstrate the importance of team dynamics for markers of team effectiveness (e.g., work satisfaction, care quality, clinical outcomes). |
