Abstract
This quality improvement project used data from individual conversations and group
development theory to implement a team-building intervention to mitigate burnout and
improve team climate in a group of advanced practice providers. Two validated questionnaires
were used to measure the impact of a team-building workshop and the drafting of a
team agreement. Results demonstrated significant improvement in team burnout scores
immediately post-intervention; however, improvement was not sustained. Anecdotally,
the team agreement has successfully improved conflict resolution among group members.
