Scenario brief
Mr. Keane is a 78 year old man with a history of congestive heart failure who had been admitted to hospital with an episode of Acute Pulmonary Oedema (APO) for which he initially required Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP). The original problem has been resolved but he has developed hospital-acquired pneumonia as a result of a left lower lobe lung infection. He requires daily chest physiotherapy for this.
Around midday on day five of his hospital stay Mr Keane has got out of the shower and is attending his scheduled physiotherapy session. The effort required to shower has exhausted him.
Present in the room is an Enrolled Nurse who has the joint responsibility of looking after five other patients as well as Mr Keane, and the Physiotherapist.
During physiotherapy the patient’s anxiety levels begin to rise. His panic is due to increased breathlessness and a new onset of chest pain.
As Mr Keane’s distress increases the emergency button is pressed for assistance. This summons members of the Medical Emergency Team (MET), a multidisciplinary team with acute care expertise, to the ward. Medical, Nursing and Allied Health staff members are required to work together to restore Mr Keane to an optimum level of homeostasis before there is a rapid disintegration in his condition that would require more complex care in a specialised setting such as the Intensive Care Unit.

•    Senario 1:
This is the first video scenario of  Leadership and teamwork in Medical Emergency Teams.
Have a look at it considering the elements which are outlined above, Teamwork, leadership, interprofessional teams and client centered care.
You will use examples from this and Scenario two to support your discussion about effective teamwork and leadership. You will give eamples such as ” within Scenario 1 it was difficult to understand which health professional was which, in the literature Jones (2008) discusses that clear identification of team members and their roles to both the client and to other team members reduces stress and the chance of errors. You could see that by the Doctor not knowing what each member of the team could actually do.”

Senario 2:
•    As I am sure you have now worked out one Scenario demonstrates the different good elements of effective teamwork and leadership and the other poor teamwork and leadership.
Through comparing how these scenarios are different it assists you to discuss different elements that are important in working in a teamwork environment. This information of what is important in effective teamwork and leadership is to be found in the 5 journal articles you will use to assist you to write your essay. Through using examples that you see in the scenarios (either good or bad evidence of teamwork and leadership) you can demonstrate that you can apply your knowledge from the literature to real life situations.
This will help you to recognise which are the important elements of teamwork and leadership that you will be part of the in the healthcare environment.
