Abstract

This study investigates the impact of fluid participation and cognitive versatility on hospital emergency department team effectiveness. Using a sample of 342 teams, the researchers found that teams with a disconnected role set (lacking a nurse practitioner) were less effective (longer patient stays, increased handoffs). However, the presence of a cognitively versatile attending physician mitigated these negative effects, enhancing team efficiency. The findings highlight the importance of individual attributes in bolstering team coordination in dynamic settings.
