Teambuilding across healthcare professions: the ELDER project.
The key to ensuring quality care for older adults is a nursing workforce that collaborates across professions and provider levels (Wright M.C., Phillips-Bute, B.G., Petrusa, E.R., Griffin, K.L., Hobbs, G.W., & Taekman, J.M. (2008). Assessing teamwork in medical education and practice: Relating behavioural teamwork ratings and clinical performance. Med Teach, 29, 1-9). ⋯ Rarely is a variety of health care disciplines invited to participate in educational opportunities together.
