Abstract

As the structure of healthcare institutions changes, nurse administrators frequently are being called on to lead interdisciplinary programs. To be successful in this new health paradigm, teams must strive to create total stakeholder satisfaction by adopting a mindset that work is interdependent, not independent, and then striving to work synergistically. The author presents 12 themes that emerged from a study investigating the essential elements of synergistic team relationships.
