Abstract
Background Interprofessional team communication has been identified as an important focus for safety in medical emergency care. However, in-depth insight into the complexity of team communication is limited. Video observational studies might fill a gap in terms of understanding the meaning of specific communication interactions and link team performance to patient outcome. This study had two aims. First, to develop a theorybased evaluation instrument that measures and qualifies team communication. And second, to investigate the quality and content of summaries and re-evaluations evolving step wise and progressively when treating the critically ill patient.
