T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 2 What is TeamSTEPPS ® ? An evidence-based teamwork system Designed to improve: Quality Safety Efficiency of health care Practical and adaptable Provides ready-to-use materials for training and ongoing teamwork

T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 3 Why Use TeamSTEPPS? Goal: Produce highly effective medical teams that optimize the use of information, people and resources to achieve the best clinical outcomes Teams of individuals who communicate effectively and back each other up dramatically reduce the consequences of human error Team skills are not innate; they must be trained

T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 4 Why Invest in TeamSTEPPS? Cost of TeamSTEPPS is minimal compared to savings Annual cost is approximately 98,000 lives and $17-29 billion Errors can be reduced by changes to the health care system; specifically by providing interdisciplinary team training Reference: Kohn LT, Corrigan, JM, Donaldson, MS.

Clinical Units in a Medical Center 2 After implementation of SBAR to improve communication among clinical caregivers: Reduced rate of adverse drug events (from 30 to 18 per 1,000 patient days). Improved medication reconciliation at patient admission from 72% to 88% and at discharge from 53% to 89%.

T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 6 What Can TeamSTEPPS Do for Us? Labor and Delivery Units 1 After implementation of multiple teamwork strategies and tools: - A 50% reduction in the Weighted Adverse Outcome Score (WAOS). The WAOS describes the adverse event score per delivery. - A 50% decrease in the Severity Index, which measures the average severity of each delivery with an adverse event. Intensive Care Units (ICU) 2 After implementation of a “Patient Daily Goals” form to facilitate staff communication: A 50% decrease in mean ICU length of stay from 2.2 days to 1.1 days. 1.Mann, S, Marcus, R, Sachs, B.

T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 7 What Can TeamSTEPPS Do For Us? Interprofessional Training/Education 1 After participating in an interprofessional TeamSTEPPS training during neonatal resuscitation in a simulated environment: Nurses who challenged a scripted medication order error increased from 38 percent before the training to 77 percent post-training. The team’s ability to detect and correct inadequate chest compressions increased from 61.5 to 84.6 percent after the training 1. Sawyer, T, Laubach, V A, Hudak, J, Yamamura, K, & Pocrnich, A.

T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 19 Importance of Communication Communication failure has been identified as the leading root cause of sentinel events over the past 10 years (Joint Commission) Communication failure is a primary contributing factor in almost 80% of more than 6000 root cause analyses of adverse events and close calls (VA Center for Patient Safety)

T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 20 What Does it Cost? Costs can be modified by obtaining materials and having trainers teach themselves Based on the National Implementation of TeamSTEPPS Project, we estimate that a Change Team Member will spent 10% FTE (200 hrs) on this effort
