“…Vyt, 2008;Häggström, Asplund and Kristiansen, 2009;Rosen et al, 2018) and seen as an important element within ICU transitional care and when reaching quality of care and patient safety (Häggström, Asplund and Kristiansen, 2009;Häggström and Bäckström, 2014). Similar conclusions were drawn in a previous study measuring team collaboration with a questionnaire (Sten et al, 2021). The results from the tested questionnaire indicated to some extent that teams collaborating over hospital units within ICU transitional care needed to focus more on how to increase person-centered care and continuous learning and how to create prerequisites for successful patient transfers between hospital units.…”

Purpose: The purpose was twofold: first to describe how co-workers within a team perceived team collaboration in patient transfers from an intensive care unit (ICU) to general wards and, second, to describe co-workers’ suggestions for an improved future state of team collaboration. Methodology/Approach: Focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted at two medium-sized hospitals located in Sweden. Participants were multidisciplinary and from both ICUs and general wards. Data were analysed using qualitative deductive content analysis. Findings: An expressed need for improving team collaboration was a defined and well-designed ICU transitional care process with a holistic view of how to create quality of care, and a standardised process for continuous improvements. This should involve co-workers from different professions and hospital units, as well as patients and relatives. Other views raised by the co-workers were clearer definitions of roles, responsibilities and deeper insights on how team members depend on each other’s work efforts to succeed. Research Limitation/Implication: This study was conducted at two hospitals, hence no generalizable conclusions can be made. Originality/Value of paper: Co-workers collaborating in a ICU transitional care process can have important insights in how to improve team collaboration. This can be of great importance in increasing quality of care where multiprofessional teams from different organisational cultures are collaborating.

“…Reeves et al (2018) discuss different types of interprofessional practices as teamwork, collaboration, coordination and networking and how these concepts can be distinguished. Sten et al (2021) define team collaboration as "co-workers collaborating within and between hospital Real teamwork and sustainable quality culture units based on shared views of person-centred care, continuous learning and sharing of knowledge, and with a focus on communication, coordination, structure and fact-based decisions" (pp. 47-48).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to describe the perception of real teamwork and sustainable quality culture as well as success factors for achieving a sustainable quality culture within an organisation, focusing on top management teams (TMTs). An additional purpose is to explore the relationship between real teamwork and sustainable quality culture.Design/methodology/approachA mixed-methods design focusing on TMTs was used. Four TMTs were open-sampled and located in different parts of Sweden. The data were collected through questionnaires and focus group discussions between April 2022 and December 2022. Follow-up meetings were thereafter held with the participants. A meta-analysis was conducted of the data from the four TMTs.FindingsTwo overarching conclusions of this study were: to follow the developed methodology can be one way to increase TMTs' abilities for real teamwork alongside a sustainable quality culture, and the results also showed the importance of a systems view, emotional commitment and continuous improvement for improving real teamwork and creating a sustainable quality culture.Practical implicationsPractical implications were suggestions on how to increase the TMTs' abilities for real teamwork alongside a sustainable quality culture. A deepened understanding of real teamwork and a sustainable quality culture was also achieved by the participants.Originality/valueThe novelty of this paper is the use of a new methodology for assessing teamwork and sustainable quality culture. To the authors' knowledge, no similar research has previously been performed to investigate teamwork alongside a sustainable quality culture, focusing on TMTs.

Background As nurses, we identify our profession as a caring one, but how does this identity translate from a conceptual definition, to real-world practice for the Clinical Research Nurse? Aim To offer a novel, four-point conceptual model that encapsulates the Clinical Research Nurse’s intrinsic value, active leadership, and direct contribution to high quality, person-centered, safe care, addressing current misperceptions of research nursing. Methods This paper describes the provision of ‘care’, safely delivered by the Clinical Research Nurse through a four-point conceptual model and case-driven example. Discussion Clinical research nursing is conceptualized within the domains of Care and Trust, Role, Impact, and Integration. The case example demonstrates real-world application of these domains and the expertise required to balance the complexities of clinical needs and research demands in a healthcare environment. Conclusions This paper offers a mechanism for understanding the importance of the Clinical Research Nurse and their role in maintaining safety and a high-level view of the care arena. These reflections are considered with an international application for the role.
