The FCI has published its findings into what makes clinical informatics teams successful
Today, the Faculty of Clinical Informatics (FCI) has published ‘Building successful clinical informatics teams‘.
Following research with FCI members, we have outlined the ingredients that make clinical informatics team successful, with advice on resourcing, team culture and professional development.
This resource includes a collection of case studies that describe real examples of how clinical informaticians can come together in successful health and care teams from a range of clinical settings.

Background
In September 2021, the FCI published the model job description for a Chief Clinical Informatics Officer (CCIO) and linked guidance.
Continuing its aim to professionalise the clinical informatics workforce, the FCI Professionalism Standing Committee recognised the need to not only define the CCIO role but to identify how that role works as part of a successful multidisciplinary team.

If you’re interested in team building and development, there are a number of ways you can get involved in the FCI’s work. Please note, these opportunities are for FCI members only.
