− | In [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care health care], one definition of teamwork is "those behaviours that facilitate effective team member [[interaction]]," with "team" defined as "a [[group]] of two or more [[individuals]] who perform some work related task, interact with one another [[dynamically]], have a shared [[past]], have a foreseeable shared [[future]], and share a common fate." One definition for teamwork proposed in 2008 is "the [[interdependent]] components of performance required to effectively [[coordinate]] the performance of multiple [[individuals]]"; as such, teamwork is "nested within" the broader concept of team [[performance]] which also includes individual-level taskwork. Another definition proposed in 2008 is "a dynamic [[process]] involving two or more healthcare [[professionals]] with complementary [[backgrounds]] and [[skills]], sharing common health goals and exercising concerted physical and mental [[effort]] in assessing, planning, or evaluating patient care." On the other hand, a 2012 review of the academic literature found that "there is no one unifying [[theory]] of exact dimensions of teamwork" and that the word "teamwork" has been used "as a catchall to refer to a number of behavioral [[processes]] and emergent states." | + | In [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care health care], one definition of teamwork is "those behaviours that facilitate effective team member [[interaction]]," with "team" defined as "a [[group]] of two or more [[individuals]] who perform some work related task, interact with one another [[dynamically]], have a shared [[past]], have a foreseeable shared [[future]], and share a common fate."
