Successful surgery depends on collaboration and mutual trust among interdisciplinary team members. We compared teamwork quality as perceived by surgeons, anesthesia care providers, and perioperative nurses using two surveys in the same hospital. The general survey sent to the homes of the OR personnel revealed teamwork climate scores in the medium to high range. Attending surgeons were significantly more satisfied than perioperative nurses and resident surgeons; anesthesiologists were significantly more satisfied than perioperative nurses. A second single-item survey administered immediately after elective open abdominal surgical procedures also showed relatively high satisfaction with teamwork. Results of the second survey, however, showed that attending surgeons were significantly less satisfied than the members of all the other professions, and perioperative nurses were significantly more satisfied than the members of all the other professions. We conclude that general surveys about teamwork quality among members of surgical teams may not necessarily reflect teamwork quality during actual surgical procedures.

Background: Pharmacists are integral to the multidisciplinary team; however, staffing and resource challenges limit pharmacists' impact. Aligning pharmacists by admission specialty teams, rather than traditional ward-based models, may address these challenges.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate whether a pharmacy redesign, which included aligning pharmacists to a specialty-based model from a ward-based model, increased the number and quality of interventions made per full-time equivalent pharmacist in hospitalised patients.
