title: Evaluating health care team performance: assessment of joint problem-solving action.
abstract: A method for evaluating health care team performance from a problem-solving perspective is described. The effectiveness of team collaboration is measured by the extent to which teams resolve or improve problems in interdisciplinary processes. A summary indicator of team performance is illustrated, and application of the approach to other health and human service problems is discussed.
