However, it is imperative to understand the factors that affect the relationships among medical patient teams and their perceptions of patient's healthcare quality. The primary objective of this study is to detect the Total Quality Management (TQM) status and teamwork orientation in one of the main Healthcare organizations in Iraq named Al-Yarmouk Teaching Hospital. A questionnaire survey was specially designed as to achieve study objectives. The questionnaire is divided into (60) various items specifically developed to gather information about the study variables. This study was carried out using a cross-sectional survey in which (64) respondents from (Al-Yarmouk Teaching Hospital) had completed a newly developed survey with a response rate of 100%.
