Introduction • Healthcare team performance • Needs to be better • Key to improved patient care • Evidence • Obstetrics – Neillsen et al, Siassakos et al • Medicine - Strasser et al
Introduction • Trauma – Fox et al., 2009 • Improved clinician perception of teamwork • Improved teamwork • TeamSTEPPS, no simulation • Today you will see evidence that team training yields better clinical care in the trauma room
Purpose • Does formal trauma team training improve team behaviors in the trauma resuscitation bay? • If yes, then does improved teamwork lead to more efficiency in the trauma bay and/or improved clinical outcomes?
Methods • Design • Intervention • Subjects • Timeline • Measurement
Design • Pre/post intervention study • Quality improvement project
Intervention • Didactic sessions • Two hours • TeamSTEPPS • Health care team training program • DOD, AHRQ • Domains • Leadership • Mutual Support • Situation Monitoring • Communication
Intervention • Didactic session • Trauma Room Policies and Procedures • “shared mental model” • Simulation session • Two hours • METI HPS or Laerdal SimMan • Three scenarios • Facilitated video feedback
Subjects • Trauma Faculty (n=5) • Surgery Residents (n=28) • ED Nurses (n=45)
Timeline Nine months Pre-training Training Post-training November, 2008 July, 2009
Measures • Teamwork Behaviors • Trauma Team Performance Observation Tool • Trained Evaluators • Efficiency Parameters • Arrival to CT, FAST, intubation, OR • Time in ED • Global Outcome Parameters • Mortality, Complications, HLOS, ICU LOS
Conclusions • Structured trauma resuscitation team training augmented by simulation improves team performance • Better teamwork improves efficiency of patient care in the trauma bay • Larger study may show improved global outcomes
Recommendation • Formal teamwork training augmented by simulation should be included in surgery residency training as well as ATLS
