In this assignment, you are leading a quality improvement team. Quality teams are often created to solve issues that arise in the healthcare environment. The team may consist of a variety of individuals from different departments in the healthcare organization. Each member has different strengths and perspectives. The challenge is harnessing members’ energies for resolution of a particular quality issue. Also, all team members are quite busy with their own respective responsibilities. How will you rise to the challenge of keeping this quality team on track? Prompt: You are the team leader of a quality group described in the following situation. When health team members (this is an interprofessional team) volunteered for the core measures improvement project, they were told that the group’s work would be additional to their regular work responsibilities and that they had to treat group activities as a high priority. The interprofessional team members were expected to complete team assignments on time and were required to attend meetings. Despite being aware of the clear expectations, already by the second week of the project team members started making excuses for not having completed their assigned tasks and failing to return the leader’s phone calls and emails. Discuss how you would refocus the quality group and increase their motivation toward achieving the improvement goal.
