Internal Team Health Tracking

My question is, what mechanisms are people using to track the health of their teams, from the Scrum Master perspective?

There are tools/processes which we're using as part of our Bi-Weekly retrospectives, which are documented and action items are tracked as part of Sprints. There are continuous conversations with members of the Scrum Team and Stakeholders, which again are documented and tracked via action items.

I'm talking about tracking "I think this team could do a better job managing their backlog, I want to follow up on that", "I think this team isn't communicating well, I want to follow up on that", "I think this teams attendance in ceremonies is decreasing, I want to bring that up in the next sprint retrospective/stand up".

I have multiple Scrum Teams (Which is it's own problem that I'm attempting to resolve), so I'm trying to establish an overview of these areas, so I can prioritize my time. I've tried a "Traffic Light" system against key criteria, other members just note points down in OneNote, but I wondered if others have their own ways of tracking?

Is there a reason for institutionalizing delay, by tracking items for later follow-up, rather than encouraging teams to inspect and adapt now?
