How does a common purpose contribute to an effective health team
dynamic?
Healthcare teams interact dynamically and have
the common goal of delivering health services to patients. Know
their role and the roles of others in the team and interact with
one another to achieve a common goal. Act as a collective unit, as
a result of the interdependency of the tasks performed by team
members
Team dynamics are the unconscious,
psychological forces that influence the direction of a team's
behaviour and performance.
