The Importance of Team Members in Health Care Organization

In today's healthcare organization healthcare is increasingly being achieved through teamwork, an important part of healthcare organization, rather than working as an independent practitioner more and more people (McConnell, 2006). Bauer and Erdogen (2009) defines the team as "unity of people working together to achieve common goals". (P. 213). According to McConnell (2006), the team is united by a common goal regardless of team type, composition, level of performance, or reasoning.

It is team sports to operate a medical institution. Regardless of medical staff, managers, or board of directors, it is very important that all members of the team understand the role of governance and the content of effective governance. There are many misunderstandings about the role of the Board of Directors. For example, many think that compensation will be paid to board members, but that is not right. When I became the CEO of the organization that established an important health management and medical education program in West Virginia, I began to be interested in topics of governance. Five organizations merged to create a new organization, and five boards were integrated into a group of 56 members. Two years after the merger, when I began interest in governance, I established a governance committee to study this topic. The CEO of American Volunteer Hospital grew from 30 to 850 hospitals during my tenure and I got the opportunity to visit many boards.

Controlled medical institution (MCO) - a managed medical institution is a group of doctors, a health plan, a hospital, or a medical system (an organization responsible for the health of registered people).
