$1.$ A problem with patient coordination between imaging and inpatient care has been identified. There is confusion between the nursing floor and imaging as to when patients are to receive the prescribed imaging exams. The chief nursing officer $($CNO$)$ has recommended that a team be developed to address the problem. What factors and processes should be considered to give the team the best opportunity for success? For this exercise, consider both the typology beginning on page $103$ and $$A model for team effectiveness$$ beginning on page $109.$ Be creative when applying the information to this case study; consider teams that you have been on an what made them effective or ineffective.

$2.$ The team described above has met six $(6)$ times and is beginning to develop ideas on how to address the problem, but they are struggling to reach a consensus on what solutions to implement. How would you advise them to improve the building of consensus? What decision$-$making methods would you recommend to move the process forward?
