Teaming Resources
In December of 2019 the ACGME introduced the new CLER Focus Area of Teaming through Version 2.0 of CLER Pathways to Excellence.
“The concept of teaming recognizes the dynamic and fluid nature of the many individuals of the clinical care team that come together in the course of providing patient care to achieve a common vision and goals. Teaming recognizes the benefits of purposeful interactions in which team members quickly identify and capitalize on their various professional strengths—coordinating care that is both safe and efficient. The team members collaborate and share accountability to achieve outstanding results.”
