Building a teamwork model for uncertain times

“You had teams working in a remote setting that had never worked remotely, or as a team.”
Courtney Holladay
The COVID-19 pandemic has put stress on the entire delivery system, including workforce relationships. But a teamwork model created by the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center aims to improve clinical care and the effectiveness of staff even during uncertain times.
MD Anderson’s Leadership Institute Executive Director Courtney Holladay said a core piece of the model is making sure all team members know what their roles and responsibilities are, and establishing norms. This came in handy when, at the beginning of the pandemic, leaders had to delineate which employees would be moved to remote work and who would stay in their care facilities.
