Clinical team flow in the perioperative environment: a qualitative single-centre study

To improve team dynamics in the operating room (OR), this study examined the concept of "team flow." Key success factors included familiarity, complementary skills, open communication and aligned goals. Interventions that focus on these factors (through structure and training) can significantly improve collaboration and efficiency in the OR.

Poor team communication in the operating room (OR) is associated with an increased risk of perioperative complications. Effective OR teams perform better during operations, and good perioperative teamwork has a direct, positive impact on the satisfaction and retention of healthcare professionals.

The Palgrave Encyclopedia of the Possible

For The Palgrave Encyclopedia of The Possible, we were asked to write the contribution on FLOW. Jef van den Hout & Orin Davis once again joined forces and together produced this beautiful publication. The context outlined is that of the Solar Team Eindhoven.

The collective ambition of Solar Team Eindhoven

Flow Concepts was approached last year to act as team flow coach for the members of Solar Team Eindhoven. It is very nice to see how they strive to maintain a team flow climate, and we are very curious how the elements from the Team Flow Model are reflected here. Therefore, we asked two team members to share their experience with us.
