Summary Hospitals in Japan have adopted team-approached medicine from around the year 2000. However, the maturing process of the medical team has not been thoroughly examined until now. In our research, we followed up and assessed the maturing process of a medical team using the Tuckman ladder model and CMMI. The method for this research was a case study based on the observation method. Starting with the minutes of meetings from the year 2002 to 2013 and interview surveys with the team members, we verified the maturing process of a Pressure Ulcer Care Team. The following 2 points are the conclusions suggested based on the results. First, the Pressure Ulcer Care Team followed the maturing process from Level 1 to Level 4 in CMMI. Second, the “Storming” of the Tuckman ladder model was shortened in the Pressure Ulcer Care Team, even when members changed, after the maturing process reached Level 3
