Teamwork is increasingly seen as an important component of diagnostic excellence. Through a systematic review and observations of team dynamics in a hospital medical ward, researchers identified three areas requiring additional research- (1) team structure, (2) contextual factors, and (3) emergent states (e.g., shared mental models).
