DOI: https://doi.org/Background: Prehospital emergency care represents a critical component of healthcare delivery systems, where multidisciplinary team effectiveness directly influences patient outcomes and survival rates. The complexity of emergency medical situations necessitates seamless coordination between various healthcare professionals operating under time-sensitive conditions.
Objective: This systematic review examines the role synergy within prehospital emergency care teams, analyzing multidisciplinary team effectiveness through comprehensive evaluation of published literature spanning the past decade.
Methods: A comprehensive search strategy was employed across multiple databases including PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and Embase for studies published between 2014 and 2024. Search terms encompassed prehospital care, emergency medical services, team effectiveness, multidisciplinary collaboration, and role synergy. Studies were included if they focused on multidisciplinary team dynamics in prehospital settings and reported quantitative or qualitative outcomes related to team effectiveness.
Results: The search yielded 2,847 initial articles, with 156 studies meeting inclusion criteria after rigorous screening. Analysis revealed that effective role synergy in prehospital teams significantly improves patient outcomes, reduces response times, and enhances overall care quality. Key factors contributing to successful team synergy included clear communication protocols, defined role boundaries, regular training programs, and established leadership hierarchies. Team-based training approaches showed statistically significant improvements in knowledge retention and practical application.
Conclusion: Multidisciplinary team effectiveness in prehospital emergency care depends on well-defined role synergy mechanisms. Healthcare organizations should prioritize structured training programs, communication protocols, and team-building initiatives to optimize prehospital care delivery and improve patient outcomes.
