In addition to carrying out his or her own responsibilities and altering them when necessary, each member must also monitor his or her teammates’ activities and diffuse potential team conflicts. Effective teams exhibit these skills while maintaining a positive emotional attitude toward the team itself (AHRQ, 2005). Skills required for effective interdisciplinary team work are listed in Table 1–4. Team training usually includes structured processes for communication such as team meetings, team huddles, care hand offs, and briefings and debriefings to facilitate information exchange and effective patient hand offs as well as working together efficiently during emergent events.
For example, ACOG (2011d, 2011e) has published patient safety checklists for scheduling labor induction and scheduling cesarean birth. The purpose is to enhance patient safety by making sure all expected aspects of care are completed and verified prior to the procedure. A vital component of the scheduling process for elective births is establishing that the woman has reached 39 completed weeks of gestation. A more basic but equally important checklist is a universal protocol for preventing wrong site, wrong procedure, and wrong person surgery for all invasive procedures (NQF, 2010; TJC, 2012).
Obviously, during emergent situations, medical record documentation occurs retrospectively. The first priority during an emergency is to provide immediate patient care. Then, after the mother or fetus or newborn is stable, documentation is possible. Post-event documentation should focus on reconstructing a summary of all of the assessments, actions, and communication that transpired as accurately and timely as possible. For example, in the case of an abnormal FHR pattern of acute onset resulting in an emergent cesarean birth, summary documentation should include timely recognition of the problem, nursing actions initiated for maternal and/or fetal resuscitation, communication with team members and their responses, time to the surgical suite and incision, and chronologies of interventions performed (and by whom) for newborn resuscitation, followed by a note about the details of the discussion between the physician and the patient and her family.
