“…For example, a report that summarizes the experience of chronic disease surveillance efforts in North, Central and South Americas, prepared by a multiple disciplinary team of 20 members from governments, universities and non-government organizations from nine countries, was completed entirely through email. 13 An electronic team works best (and in some cases works only) if at least the key players already know (and hopefully therefore trust) one another.…”

Background/Purpose. Multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary teams are increasingly encouraged in health research, services, education and policy. This paper is the second in a series. The first discussed the definitions, objectives, and evidence of effectiveness of multiple disciplinary teamwork. This paper continues to examine the promotors, barriers, and ways to enhance such teamwork. Methods. The paper is a literature review based on Google and MEDLINE (1982-2007) searches. "Multidisciplinarity", "interdisciplinarity", "transdisciplinarity" and "definition" were used as keywords to identify the pertinent literature. Results. The promotors of teamwork success include: good selection of team members, good team leaders, maturity and flexibility of team members, personal commitment, physical proximity of team members, the Internet and email as a supporting platform, incentives, institutional support and changes in the workplace, a common goal and shared vision,

“…3 Despite recent advances, evidence of benefits obtained with treatment and prevention of CVD, and the availability of treatment guidelines supported by the results of clinical studies, 4 there is a gap between evidence-based recommendations and routine clinical practice. 5 As a consequence, many patients do not receive necessary therapeutic interventions or do not achieve their therapeutic goals.…”

“…Recent years have witnessed an effort by WHO, PAHO, national governments (including Brazil), and nongovernmental organizations in the search to establish and development surveillance capability for chronic non-communicable diseases, and many countries have already designed systems for the surveillance of chronic disease risk factors 58 . Emerging and reemerging diseases and the risk of use of biological weapons for terrorist acts has stimulated the production of articles focused on improving surveillance of acute infectious diseases and early detection of outbreaks 59,60,61 .…”

In order to identify the various meanings ascribed to health surveillance, the authors conducted a systematic review of articles published from January 1990 to August 2005 in the following databases: LILACS, SciELO, CAPES, MEDLINE, and Web of Science. A total of 144 abstracts were read and 18 full texts of Brazilian articles were selected for in-depth analysis, leading to the design of a typology for technological arrangements related to the various meanings: (i) traditional epidemiological surveillance, with communicable diseases as the main object; (ii) public health surveillance, as the municipal component of the national health surveillance system; and (iii) health surveillance, a technological mode of organizing health practices in a given territory. The proposed typology can contribute to research on surveillance practices in local health systems. It can also serve as a template for data collection and analysis. The meanings ascribed to the three types are discussed in light of public health's historical development as a field.
