Clinical Team Leader- TCU

Overview

The Clinical Team Leader identifies the procedures, processes, and patient care to be accomplished during the work period, as well as the resources that will be required to safely carry out the work of the unit in collaboration with the unit and organizational leadership teams. The Clinical Team Leader distributes the work of the unit in a manner that makes the best use of available resources, both personnel and material, and which take into account the knowledge, skills, and abilities of those persons who will be integral to the patient care process.

The Clinical Team Leader provides ongoing coordination of work and resources as necessary to meet changing requirements in the work environment. On an ongoing basis, the Clinical Team Leader evaluates individual and collective outcomes of the patient care provided during their shift, compares patient care delivery to accepted standards, adjusts assignment of resources as necessary, and reports changing needs and outcomes to the health care staff.

Because the Clinical Team Leader observes patient care delivery and outcomes as provided by coworkers, the Clinical Team Leader may be asked to contribute observations to individual employee evaluations, suggest competency evaluations, or to advise and educate fellow staff. These functions of the Clinical Team Leader should not, however, be constructed as supervisory in the sense of exercising control regarding employment decisions.

The Clinical Team Leader is accountable for overall operation of an assigned unit during a specific time period but is not solely or personally responsible for the selection or discharge of employees of the health care facility. The Clinical Team Leader also serves as a Safety Coach on the unit promoting utilization of Hospital Acquired Condition Prevention and other Safety promotion behaviors.
