LEP module
T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 19 TeamSTEPPS Module on patients with limited English proficiency – why? Large and growing population – 8.6% of U.S. Greater length of stay greater risks line infections, falls, surgical infection, and more More readmissions So many horror stories One misunderstood word, “intoxicado” -> quadriplegic teen, $71 million settlement
T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 20 TeamSTEPPS The evidence Patient safety events more severe and more often due to communication errors for LEP patients (Divi et al. 2006, Flores 2005) Ad hoc interpreters (family members, house staff) make serious medical interpretation errors (Flores et al. 2003) LEP patient safety events cost hospitals millions (Price- Wise 2008; Quan 2010; Carbone et al. 2003)
T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 21 TeamSTEPPS More evidence Professional interpreters reduce length of stay and readmissions for LEP (Linholm et al. 2012) Despite evidence that LEP patients are safer with professional interpreters, health care providers often try to “get by” without (Diamond et al. 2009; Ring et al. 2010) Even when interpreters are present, they often can’t speak up when they see a patient safety risk (Betancourt et al. 2012)
T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 22 TeamSTEPPS Other reasons for LEP focus Joint Commission patient-centered communication standards come into effect July 1, 2012 Identify the patient’s oral and written communication needs; and Meet those needs Including the need for qualified interpreters
T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 23 TeamSTEPPS How the LEP module can help 1-hour staff training module and 4-hour train-the- trainer program so unit staff and interpreters can: Understand the risks to LEP patients Assemble the right team (call an interpreter!) Identify and raise patient communication issues Also includes a guide for hospital leaders To identify/ implement needed system changes ahead of training

T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 31 TeamSTEPPS Why Long-Term Care? Long-term care environment is unique Long-term/chronic and short term/sub-acute Patients are called “residents” Multi-disciplinary teams, including non-clinical staff Long-term care: custodial care through IV therapy Approximately 16,000 nursing homes and 1.6M nursing home residents across the country
T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 32 TeamSTEPPS Changes Targeted The work of this project was to modify the text and associated training materials to be relevant to the long-term care environment Changed language throughout to be meaningful to long-term care Exercises, scenarios, tests and videos were changed and centered around chronic medical or rehabilitation circumstances Graphics and pictures were changed to reflect nursing home staff, care and environment

T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 38 TeamSTEPPS Technical Expert Panel National Experts in: Long-term care TeamSTEPPS (Master Trainers) Nursing Workforce Development Culture Change Quality of Care/Life Outcomes Individual calls with each TEP Member were conducted Materials were sent prior to each call: description, agenda, questions
T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 39 TeamSTEPPS TEP Recommendations Joint Commission Accreditation of nursing homes is very low nationally Language/terms not commonly used in nursing homes Culture Change and Patient Safety Clear language on the two “concepts” Sample Exercise Illustrate benefit of including all members of the healthcare team in care planning
T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 40 TeamSTEPPS TEP Recommendations 2 Other Content should be delivered at literacy levels appropriate for the audience Deliver training in interactive sessions: role play and “teach back” Advanced skills introduced after basic concepts mastered
T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 41 TeamSTEPPS Field Testing 120-bed nursing home, part of a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) 1 day (8 hour) training Held on the campus of the nursing home Various departments and staffing levels attended Nursing Staff Development/Education Therapeutic Recreation Social Work Dietary/Food Service Housekeeping Maintenance/Physi cal Plant Administrator/COO
T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 42 TeamSTEPPS Field Test Findings Participants pleased with training 86-98% gave the training session a positive grade Communication module had widest appeal Appreciated the interactive exercises; wanted more Videos complemented material, though “too clinical” Add more examples and exercises that included non-clinical staff/departments
T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 43 TeamSTEPPS Field Test Findings 2 Recommended including: resident abuse prevention exercises and examples interactions and role plays of communicating with families (staff to family) intergenerational communication among staff removing the multi-team system exercise

T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 48 TeamSTEPPS Laying the Groundwork Defined the “team” Identified the “system” Evaluated the challenges Decided areas of focus
T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 49 TeamSTEPPS Primary Care Office (PCO) Team TEP defined the scope of “team” for purpose of this project Focus of the project was intended to be on optimizing teamwork within the medical office Caveat - it was noted that external care coordination is of extreme importance for future work
T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 50 TeamSTEPPS Primary Care Team Structure
T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 51 TeamSTEPPS How is the PCO Different? Complex Adaptive System Non – linear, non – episodic The agents in the system are all the components of that system Agents interact and connect with each other in unpredictable and unplanned ways Interactions cause regularities to emerge Start to form a pattern which feeds back on the system and informs the interactions of the agents
T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 52 TeamSTEPPS Model of a Complex Adaptive System
T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 53 TeamSTEPPS Primary Care Office Environment
T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 54 TeamSTEPPS Some of the “Agents” Patient phone calls/ s Scheduling Medication refills Interruption of patient flow Walk-ins, lab results Formulary questions Missed appointments Population data management Information from insurers Urgent appointments Calls from consultants/external providers
T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 55 TeamSTEPPS Challenges to Teamwork in Primary Care Offices Delayed Manifestation of Mistakes Role Ambiguity Non – linear work flow
T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 56 TeamSTEPPS Curriculum Training Structure When training teams to implement TeamSTEPPS: developed to be taught in conjunction with TeamSTEPPS Essentials OR When training Master Trainers: To be taught as an addition to TeamSTEPPS Fundamentals
T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 57 TeamSTEPPS Next Steps Literature review Curriculum design guide development Developed draft curriculum slides and instructor guide Begin preliminary scripts for video vignettes We asked all TEP members to send us brief “stories” that represented actual scenarios they had experienced
T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 58 TeamSTEPPS Field Testing Two sites TeamSTEPPS essentials followed by Primary Care Office Module Data collection
T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 59 TeamSTEPPS Highlights of Field Testing Focus Groups “What parts of the module are most relevant to primary care?” Patient advocacy and communication Conflict resolution Situation monitoring Debriefing
T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 60 TeamSTEPPS Highlights of Field Testing Focus Groups “What improvements could be made to the module?” More emphasis on roles of non-clinical staff in the care team More case-based scenarios, especially across team roles Non clinical staff felt that they often had important information to communicate but no process to do so Quote: “Little bits that you don’t automatically put into the records as a formal thing are so important.” Resulting module change: Included 4 scenarios in module that emphasize non-clinical staff
T EAM STEPPS 05.2 Mod Page 61 TeamSTEPPS Highlights, cont… “What parts of the module do not make sense?” Definitions of “Huddles” and “Briefs” conflicts with NCQA Primary Care Medical Home (PCMH) language Quote: “PCMH designates the TeamSTEPPS Brief as a Huddle. We all need to know what we mean in terms of what we’re doing.” Resulting module change: More emphasis on flexibility/customizability throughout the curriculum, as long as each team member has the same mental model.
