2020
Objective: Against the background of the current pandemic crisis, this case report presents the experiences made from interprofessional teamwork with group members from different medical qualification levels Our objectives were 1 to identify areas of shared knowledge regarding efficient collabora-tion;2 to improve effective teamwork based on mutual respect;3 to develop innovative teaching methods tailored to the needs of COVID-19 interprofessional response teams Methods: Field notes from numerous team discussions and improvised internal training sessions were compiled into a checklist Each author edited and revised the checklist and a consensus has been reached after an in-person discussion Feedback from an academic expert in emergency services has been incorporated into the final version of the checklist Results: Three main topics were identified: the need for quality-assured professional training, the clarification of role expectations including assigned responsibilities, opportunities to contribute and participate in the team building process, and the development of area-related ethical competence in the sense of shared moral public health literacy Hence, we developed the following ad-hoc teaching methods: use of online teaching videos, practical exercises on intubation models and the col-lective development of an annotated, detailed checklist for all relevant work processes of the mobile corona unit based on everyday debriefings Summary: The need for interprofessional team building in the context of the current health crisis provides a beneficial learning environment for all participants We propose to conceptually refine this approach into a cross-professional, innovative method of teaching © 2020 Hunger et al
