Team Health: a Pulse Check and Prescription for the Collective Learning Tool

This paper provides an observation of a Southern California Integrated Project Delivery healthcare project in its use of the Team Health Assessment. This is a tool that DPR Construction has iteratively developed to identify, measure, and monitor team culture in the delivery of a lean construction project. The authors of this paper present three case examples of how the Team Health Assessment has been successfully used to identify and provide measure to subjective indices of one project’s performance. Each case example provides a non-statistical correlative observation of indicative trends and how the awareness of these trends was then used to better optimize stakeholder purpose. The discussion concludes with identifying opportunities to further disseminate, utilize, and develop the Team Health Assessment through more traditional project delivery methods.
