TeamSTEPPS

What is TeamSTEPPSTM?

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


TeamSTEPPS

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


TeamSTEPPS

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

What Can TeamSTEPPS Do for Us?

Emergency Department1

After implementation of multiple medical team training programs:

• Improved observed team behaviors.

• Enhanced staff attitudes toward teamwork.

• Reduced observed clinical errors.

Clinical Units in a Medical Center2

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%.

What Can TeamSTEPPS Do for Us?

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.

Labor and Delivery Units1

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.

What Can TeamSTEPPS Do for Us?Operating Rooms (OR)

After implementation of a “pre-op” brief:

• Increased OR communication.1,2

• Increased administration of properly timed prophylactic antibiotics prior to incision from 84% to 95%.1

• Increased pre-op deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis prior to induction from 92% to 100%.1

• Error avoidance: Pre-op brief revealed seven patients (3.3%) with previously unidentified severe surgical risks — surgery cancelled.1

• A 16% reduction in nursing turnover rate.2

• A 19% increase in OR employee satisfaction.2

What Does Training Cost?Key to Table Figures

$A = Trainer preparation costs - Trainers’ time x trainers’ hourly rate $B = Travel costs related to any of the train the trainer sessions $C = Trainer costs to conduct training - Trainers’ time x trainer hourly rate $D = Trainee costs - Number of staff to be trained x (number of training hours)

x staff hourly rate $E = Other training expenses - Food, senior leadership time for kickoff, etc. $F = Trainer costs for ongoing support - Number of “areas” participating X

(hours of support) x trainer/coach hourly rate $G = Optional cost for staff time discussions - As normal course of

business $H = Other ongoing support costs $I, $J, $K = Total - The estimated costs at bottom of each column

TeamSTEPPS

How Do We Start?

1. Create a sense of urgency

2. Pull together the guiding team

3. Formulate a change vision and strategy

4. Communicate your vision for understanding and buy-in

5. Send trainers to one of the TeamSTEPPS National Implementation Project Training Resource Centers


TeamSTEPPS

Training for the Guiding Team

1. Training is available until 9/1/092. Training is available on a “first come – first

served” basis3. Contact the National Implementation Project for

TeamSTEPPS

National Teamwork Initiatives Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical

Education (ACGME) and the Association for American Medical Colleges (AAMC) include aspects of communication, coordination, and collaboration in physician competencies

National Quality Forum (NQF) included teamwork training, skill building and teamwork interventions in Safe Practices for Better Health Care: A Consensus Report (2006 Update)

The Joint Commission has increasingly included elements of teamwork in their National Patient Safety Goals and accreditation standards

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) included TeamSTEPPS in the 9th Scope of Work


TeamSTEPPS

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)


TeamSTEPPS

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
