Teamwork will lead to superior outcomes in health care; is often suggested. It is expected
that in synergistic teamwork, teams create something greater than the sum of the individual
contributions (Andreatta, 2010; Nurmi, 1996). Due to the increasing demand of long-term
care (LTC) services and the increasing complexity of clients, teams have become key players
in LTC; both mono-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary teams. Research has primarily focused
on multi-disciplinary teams in acute care; mono-disciplinary teams and the LTC sector have
received less attention. Predictors of team performance and interventions to improve team
performance in LTC remain uninvestigated. It is therefore important to gain insight into how
high team performance and improvement in the LTC sector can be achieved. In the following
sections we will discuss the LTC setting, teams in this setting, and the overall research aim.http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/31784/Proefschrift_Martina_Buljac%5B2%5D.pdf
