New publication by Suzanne Gordon Just Published New Book Collaborative Caring – Suzanne Gordon I am very happy to announce that I, along with my two co-editors, David L. Feldman M.D. and Michael Leonard, M.D. have just published our edited volume Collaborative Caring: Stories and Reflections on Teamwork in Healthcare. The book is a collection of 50 rubber-hits-the road stories about what it means to implement teamwork, work on teams, or to work in settings in which there is no teamwork. The wonderful people who contributed their essays include physicians, social workers, bedside registered nurses, psychologists,occupational and physical therapists, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, dentists, and hospital administrators. The book also includes essays by healthcare professionals who write as patients who find themselves either the center of a team or exiled to the periphery when healthcare professionals function in siloed isolation. The book begins with an introduction (part of which is included below) and is divided into eight sections, which cover the following topics: Playing on a Real Team; The Dangers and Damage of Poor Teamwork; Is the Patient on the Team or Not; Psychological Safety; Teaching What We Preach; Patient Advocacy as a Team Sport; Barriers to Teamwork; Taking Teamwork Institution and System-wide. The essays in it are not journal essays preaching about what to do but rather talk about real life experiences and show people how to do it — implement teamwork and play on real teams. I have included in the blog-post an excerpt of the book’s introduction. suzannecgordon/just-published-new-book-collaborative-caring/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Suzannecgordoncom+%28suzannecgordon%29
