Why is teamwork considered important at Fresenius?

Teamwork is emphasized at Fresenius because it is directly linked to enhancing patient safety and improving treatment outcomes. In a healthcare setting, collaborative efforts among staff lead to a comprehensive approach to patient care. When team members communicate, share knowledge, and work together, they can identify potential issues more swiftly, develop effective treatment plans, and ensure that all aspects of patient care are coordinated. This synergy minimizes the risk of errors and promotes a culture of safety, ultimately contributing to better health results for patients.

In contrast, reducing the number of staff or focusing solely on individual performance metrics may overlook the collaborative nature of healthcare that is essential for maintaining high standards of care. Similarly, faster decision-making without input from team members can undermine the safety protocols and care standards that teamwork supports. Thus, effective teamwork at Fresenius acts as a foundation for delivering high-quality, safe, and efficient care to patients.
