title: Effective radiology teams.
abstract: Teams can be very helpful in quality improvement, the service recovery process, and reengineering. Teams can increase organizational communication, quality, productivity, and morale. However, not all teams work well, and some can waste time, cause resentment, and be a net negative for an organization. This article summarizes some of the steps in getting a team to a good start, keeping it running well, having effective meetings, and correcting some common problems.
