  • Title: Self-managing teams: a strategy for quality improvement.
    Author: Feifer C, Nocella K, DeArtola I, Rowden S, Morrison S.
    Journal: Top Health Inf Manage; 2003; 24(1):21-8. PubMed ID: 12674392.
    Abstract:
    Organizations are impacted by their environments, and health care settings are no different. Individuals charged with improving a practice are often impeded by environmental barriers, including incomplete information for decision making. One strategy to empower an organization for change is to form a self-managing team. This paper discusses the self-managing team concept and uses a case study to illustrate its application in primary care. Factors contributing to team success are presented as a guide, and a reminder--there is more to an effective team than gathering people in a room.
