Episode 75: Got Dysfunction on Your Team? Overcoming Dysfunction in Medical Practices

Medical Money Matters with Jill Arena

Welcome to today's episode, where we delve into the world of business psychology, focusing specifically on team dynamics within medical practices. Based on Patrick Lencioni's seminal book, "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team," we'll explore how these principles apply to the unique setting of healthcare. Whether you're a physician, practice manager, or part of a medical team, understanding and addressing these dysfunctions can dramatically improve your practice's efficiency and patient care.

In a medical practice, the stakes are high. The well-being and lives of patients are in our hands, and effective teamwork isn't just beneficial—it's essential. Dysfunctional teams can lead to mistakes, miscommunication, poor quality outcomes, and decreased patient satisfaction. Today, we’ll break down the barriers to effective teamwork and discuss actionable steps to create a more cohesive and successful practice.

We start with an overview of the main types of dysfunctions beginning with the identification of the five core dysfunctions that can cripple a team.
