As an MDT in a secure hospital, we have mooted the possibility of using a tool to evaluate our effectiveness as a team. We have no set framework (even how we are conceptualising 'effectiveness' at this point); however, are considering the following:
input from all stakeholders (e.g. service users, carers, nursing teams, and individual team members), tapping into various relevant domains; and drawing influence from a range of fields (e.g. organisational psychology, systemic practice, and interpersonal models such as family therapy and attachment).
Does anybody have any experience in this area? I would be interested in generating some ideas / discussion about how this could be done.
Many thanks
Alex
How about doing a focus group ie with nurses, service user and next of kin discuss how they feel about MDT and what needs to be improved and also what is successful.However it might be time consuming
Hi Prudence,
Thanks for your thoughts. We are definitely considering focus groups, though, as you say, this might be time consuming. I was hoping to find some existing theory that might negate the need to do this!
Thanks
Alex
