Teamwork: Developing Shared Mental Models
February 17, 2021
Join us for a webinar focused on the foundational principle and primary driver of improvement: effective teamwork. Based on the 7Cs of Teamwork and the Top 10 Things Effective Teams Do, Feel, and Think, this webinar will focus on developing shared mental models.
We review key components of teamwork and specific NICU clinical applications where development of a shared mental model is critical to improving the care delivered by the health care team.
