Abstract
Health care is a team sport. We have noticed that some nurses agree with this statement, whereas others balk at the comparison of their profession to a football game. It is as if the profession could be diminished by the association with a sport. We wonder why that is, and if some colleagues do not appreciate the comparison, might there be a misunderstanding of what we mean by equating health care to a team sport? This column reviews the definition of the team in the work setting and the evidence demonstrating the impact of teamwork on patients and nurses. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2024;55(2):57-58.].
