Accelerating Performance through Collaborative Learning

“Collaborative learning is learning with others by capitalizing on different skills and experiences to solve problems faster and get better results.” (Garvey, 2014). While not a new topic, access to the web and hand-held technologies have supported collaboration in a virtual environment minimizing the necessity for in-person workgroups or time away from day to day responsibilities. HealthTeamWorks explores how collaboration can happen virtually across geographic boundaries and result in innovative solutions for healthcare transformation and quadruple aim outcomes.
