A Scoping Review of Teamwork, Patient Safety, and Clinician Well-Being in the Emergency Department

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to investigate the interconnections between teamwork, patient safety, and clinician well-being in emergency departments through a scoping review of existing literature. They found evidence suggesting that stronger teamwork is associated with improved patient safety and clinician well-being; however, the research is fragmented and lacks comprehensive studies that simultaneously address all three domains. The authors highlight the need for future research utilizing more robust methodologies and objective safety outcomes to strengthen the evidence base.
