Team development is vital to the creation of high-performing improvement and health care delivery teams. The Team Development Measure (TDM) is a survey constructed to promote quality improvement in team-based healthcare settings. CIPRS obtained permission to use the Team Development Measure (TDM) in the VA from the developer, E.R. (Bill) Mahoney, PhD.
VA staff can access an automated system to set up and analyze TDM surveys via an automated, online system programmed by VHA Support Service Center (VSSC):
