This paper proposes a basic feature for quantitative measurement and evaluation of group motion in team sports. This feature called dominant region is a sphere of influence of each player or each team (the space where the player or the team is superior to others). Basic teamwork in ball games such as cooperative movement, space making and ball passing by players can be evaluated quantitatively ...

Teamwork is integral to a working environment conducive to patient safety and care. Team training is one methodology designed to equip team members with the competencies necessary for optimizing teamwork. There is evidence of team training's effectiveness in highly complex and dynamic work environments, such as aviation and health care. However, most quantitative evaluations of training do not ...

Improving teamwork in healthcare may help reduce and manage errors. This paper takes a step toward that goal by (1) proposing a set of teamwork behaviours, or behavioural markers, for neonatal resuscitation; (2) presenting a data form for recording observations about these markers; and (3) comparing and contrasting different sets of teamwork behaviours that have been developed for healthcare. D...

Both human collaboration and software agent collaboration have been thoroughly studied, but there is relatively little research on hybrid human-agent teamwork. Some research has identified the roles that agents could play in hybrid teams: supporting individual team members, being a teammate, or supporting the team as a whole [99]. Some other work [57] has investigated trust concepts as the fund...

BACKGROUND Effective teamwork and communication is a crucial determinant of patient safety in the operating room. Communication failures are often underpinned by the inherent differences in professional practices across disciplines, and the ways in which they collaborate. Despite the overwhelming international support to improve team communication, progress has been slow. OBJECTIVE The aim of...

OBJECTIVE Evaluate the impact of a team training curriculum for residents and multidisciplinary trauma team members on team communication, coordination and clinical efficacy of trauma resuscitation.

In this paper, we discuss the need for teamwork skills in the workplace and the training of Computer Science Bachelor students to perform in teams. Researchers claim that collaborative learning can positively influence teamwork competencies. We argue that time can change participants’ perception of the effectiveness of the team collaboration. The group development model TEAM (Team Evolution and...

PURPOSE Although the relevance of interprofessional teamwork in the delivery of patient-centered care is well known, there is a lack of interventions for improving team interaction in the context of rehabilitation in Germany. The aim of the present study is to evaluate whether a specially developed team coaching concept (TCC) could improve both teamwork and patient-centeredness. METHOD A mult...
