Consider the following scenario:

Although you do not have the budget to hire additional staff, you do have an additional $20,000 to spend on your department to improve efficiency and customer satisfaction.
Write a 700- to 1,050-word proposal using the five step planning process that describes how your team might improve efficiency and customer service in your department by focusing on teamwork. Address the following in your team's proposal:
Why teams are essential to health care?
How teams are used in other industries, such as aviation, auto racing, and the military?
How lessons from other industries might be applied to the health care industry?
Which organizational processes support problem solving?
Cite 3 references, one of which may be the course textbook, to support your position.
Format your proposal according to APA guidelines.
