Aims: The aim of the theoretical studies was to briefly characterize the team and the teamwork in health care, its evaluation and also to present the selected measurement tools useful for the evaluation of the teamwork in health care.

Background: The focus of the work were the validation studies of different authors (Kalisch, Weaver, Salas, 2009, Kalisch, Lee Salas, 2010, Kalisch, Lee, Rochman, 2010, Shteynberg, Sexton, Thomas, 2005, Sexton, Helmreich, Neilands et al. 2006, Ryan 2008, Ryan, Cott, 2008)who dealt with the creation of measurement and evaluation tools for examining the efficiency, functionality and team culture of nursing and / or multidisciplinary teams in health care.

Methods: The measurement tools for assessing teamwork in health care published and validated abroad have been analyzed analytically and synthetically. The core of the analysis was gathered through research of full-text on-line databses(EBSCO, SCOPUS, Web of Knowledge).

Conclusion: In connection with the increasing demand for all types of teams working in the medical field, it is necessary to expand the knowledge basis for the particular issues of the functioning of the team in health care and the possibilities of evaluating its effectiveness or functionality. For implementing the selected measurement tools into national practice a profound national validation must be carried out, the process of which is currently in preparation.
