Medical teamwork and the evolution of safety science: a critical review.
Neuhaus C, Lutnæs DE, Bergström J. Medical teamwork and the evolution of safety science: a critical review. Cogn Technol Work. 2020;22(1):13-27. doi:10.1007/s10111-019-00545-8.
In this narrative review, the authors contrast approaches to teamwork in healthcare with current concepts in safety science. The authors encourage moving past a ‘reductionist’ (reducible through information) approach to teamwork training and discuss the potential benefit from a more interdisciplinary approach towards teamwork and safety science research by integrating medical and social science disciplines, moving towards a ‘macro’ view of health care delivery, and evaluating how socioeconomic factors influence both healthcare systems and individual practitioners.
