Importance of
Effective Communication
• Communication failure has been identified as a
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

TeamSTEPPS
Implementation Considerations
• Be ready for the resistors – get Sr. Leaders
on board early
• Training materials free, easily accessed via
internet – copying fees for education
materials
• Cost for distributing teaching aids
• Vendor Selection – needed or not?
8
Metrics Selection
• Patient Safety Culture Survey pre implementation
results vs post implementation results
• Direct on site observations pre and post
implementation using the TS observation tool
- THR added to each metric observation criteria or
questions to ask during the interview process to provide
consistency and observer reliability
• Pre and post implementation HCAHPS scores
• Stories sell – collect them and share

haves
Variables
Description
Leadership (Sr.)
• Leadership ready, willing and able to support initiative
Svc Line/Dept Size
• Needs to be large enough for multiple team players
Department Culture
• Culture open to change
• Positioned for success
Nurse leadership & support
• Likelihood of broad nursing participation / support and
availability of local champions
Willingness to communicate
openly
• Encourage feedback as to what works well, and what changes
are needed
• Dept open to honest feedback
Safety culture scores
• Strength of safety culture as measured by PSC survey
Adverse Events
• Willingness to report
Positive staff attitude
• Indicator of being open to team training and use of tools
Educator support
• Dedicated resource to train and reinforce tool utilization
14
Direct Observation Tool
• Observer – Master or Champion trained
• Developed to ensure observer objectivity
and consistency
• When completing a Service Line takes 4-6
hours
• When completing a Dept takes 2-3 hours
• Complete all shifts so the staff understand
this is not just for one shift
Perinatal Pilot
• Meeting with Formal leaders
• Patient Safety Culture Survey
• Trained hospital Risk Managers/Patient Safety
as the facilitators
• Pre-implementation Observations
• Selection of Champions (3-5 from each dept
within the service line)
16
Perinatal Pilot
• Champion training
– Formal and informal leaders from each shift
– Educators to maintain the focus
• Staff Education slides with talking points
• Mid year sampling observations
• Champion meeting connecting the dots
between patient safety programs and
TeamSTEPPS
• Shared stories with Leadership and staff
• End of year post implementation observations
17
Pilot Results
Strengths
• Effectively using TS tools in
critical situations in early
implementation
• Successful shift briefs with
dept leaders in the service line
• Consistent use of SBAR and
handoffs
• Improved intercollaborative
discharge briefings in certain
departments
• Use of the word “concern”
stops the line
Opportunities for Improvement
• Early Sr. leadership
engagement
• Improve physician engagement
• Ensuring use of the TS
common language
• Consistent debriefings
• Good leadership needed in the
service line to set the
expectation that TS is 24/7
• Shorten length of pilot

Operationalize TeamSTEPPS
• Develop education for several levels
• Need a committed leader
• Physician engagement – elevator speech for
brief conversations or info in lounges
• Large hospitals - implement per Service
Line
• Small hospitals – Single kick off as staff are
cross trained to different departments
• Implement clinical and non-clinical

the most for their participation)

TeamSTEPPS Language Definitions
Leadership
•Brief: Planned, assign roles, establish expectations, anticipate
outcomes
•Huddle: Gather as needed to discuss critical issues & emerging events
•Debrief: End of activity, discuss what went well and what we can do
better
Situation
monitoring
•Situation awareness: Know what is going on around you, including
cross monitoring your team members
Mutual support
•Task assistance: Ask for and offer support with all team members
•CUS: When appropriate, use a CUS word: I am C ONCERNED!
I am U NCOMFORTABLE!
This is a S AFETY ISSUE!
Communication
•SBAR: Summarize your critical messages in a standard format –
Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation
•Call-out: Communicate important information and inform team
members simultaneously during emergency situations
•Check-Back: Verbally confirm instructions – "closing the loop"
•Handoff: During transitions in care, clearly transfer both information
and accountability – make sure to offer opportunity for questions
TeamSTEPPS
Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety
What is it?
TeamSTEPPS is an evidence-based communication toolkit to improve
team performance across the health care delivery system.
Team Competency Outcomes
Knowledge – how to understand being on the “same page”
Attitudes – the importance of “team” orientation”
Performance – improve safety and outcomes in your daily practice
This is not a new program but a framework in which
we can communicate more effectively with each other.
26
Integrating TeamSTEPPS into Patient
Safety Initiatives
• Not just another program
• Presented as a framework for many existing
communication activities
• Added to the annual goals for Dept Managers
• TeamSTEPPS prior to Safe Surgery Initiative
• Integrated into job descriptions
• Integrated into event investigations
• Integrated into electronic health record’s
procedural and surgical checklists
