Evidence Teamwork Communication Leadership*
-Already had a practice algorithm but did not use it or refer to it consistently -Teamwork generally perceived as adequate, but staff somewhat divided -Functional but uneven communication about patients and workload -Recent promotion of ACC pharmacist to middle manager (MM)
-Staff was unevenly open to a new algorithm -Less cohesiveness as a team -Used all means available to communicated (email, phone, IM, face to face) -MM very supportive of ACCII
-Concern about losing clinical judgment if just following an algorithm -Less willingness to pitch in to even out the work load -Deeper level of communication about quality improvement often lacking at outset -MM interested in QI approaches & solicited staff ideas
-Uneven interest in change and improvement -Site designed tracking system to manage patients before ACCII started -MM supported local coordinator (liaison to ACCII)
-MM supported by pharmacy leadership
