Substantive response. Please further discussion. End response with question. Robert MacDonald's observations highlight the integral role that groups and teams play within healthcare organizations, a reality that extends beyond healthcare into various sectors of complex, dynamic environments. His experience exemplifies how multidisciplinary teams, such as the Environment of Care Committee and Emergency Operations Committee (EOC), collaborate to ensure safety, preparedness, and effective response to emergencies. This collaborative approach underscores the importance of teamwork in maintaining organizational resilience and protecting patient and staff welfare. In healthcare, effective team functioning is crucial not only for safety protocols but also for fostering a culture that prioritizes continuous improvement and shared responsibility. Team-based approaches are fundamental in healthcare due to the multifaceted nature of medical care, where multiple disciplines—including nursing, medicine, bio-med engineering, security, and facility management—must coordinate seamlessly. The reliance on structured teams enhances communication, reduces errors, and promotes shared accountability. As MacDonald mentions, initial challenges such as differing perspectives and naivety towards disaster preparedness are common but can be mitigated through open communication and mutual respect. These skills are vital for successful teamwork, especially during crises where clear, rapid decision-making is essential (Salas, DiazGranados, et al., 2015). This emphasis on teamwork aligns with the broader framework of interprofessional collaboration, which has been shown to improve patient outcomes, increase safety, and foster a proactive safety culture (Reeves, Pelone, et al., 2017). In addition, simulations and drills, as MacDonald notes, are critical tools for preparing teams for real-world emergencies by testing protocols, identifying weaknesses, and enhancing coordination. Such exercises foster
