AB An  effective  healthcare  team  is  of  utmost  importance  to  ensure  safe,  effective  and  efficient  care  for  pediatric  patients.  Teamwork  is  particularly  important  when  caring  for  children,  as  providers  from  various  disciplines  are  performing  different  yet  complimentary  roles,  all  striving  to  provide  high  quality  care,  and  at  times  in  stressful  situations.  Failed  communication  and  teamwork  between  providers,  patients,  and/or  families  are  two  of  the  most  common  attributable  causes  of  medical  errors.1–3  Potential  for  error  only  increases  when  caring  for  children  with  complex  medical  conditions.
