Abstract
Effective healthcare teams often elude consistent definition because of the complexity of teamwork. Systems theory offers a dynamic view of teamwork, in which input conditions are transformed via optimum throughput processes into maximal output. This article describes eighteen characteristics of effective teams across input conditions and teamwork processes, which have been identified from the literature.

In addition, in 2011, 10% of workers reported telecommuting at least once a week, up from 8% in 2007. But despite this increase, the challenge remains: How can supervisors properly manage virtual workers to deliver positive results? The answer is simpler - and more complicated - than you might think. It's all about trust. As one of the Northwest's top staffing firms, we know that virtual teams aren't unlike on-site teams in that trust is a key component of success and productivity. Many workplace experts agree that trust is perhaps the most important element of a harmonious and efficient work environment - and that attitude holds true for employees working remotely, as well. In fact, in the book, Virtual Team Success, authors Darleen DeRosa and Richard Lepsinger shared findings from a global study, which concluded that top performing virtual teams reported higher levels of trust than teams that were less successful. According to the authors, trust is an essential ingredient for virtual team success. While it might only take seconds to destroy, building trust can take a while, especially in a virtual environment, where there isn't nearly as much personal interaction. But it's definitely possible and will ultimately contribute to the team's overall success. To help you get started, here are some tips to keep in mind. Establish clear and open communication from the beginning. Make sure that all team members have each others' contact information and preferred means of contact. Set the ground rules. This is critically important before the start of the project so that everyone is clear on expectations. For instance, let each member know you expect a progress report via email by the end of the day Friday. Use online tools, li
