TeamSTEPPS Planning…Training…Implementation

1. TeamSTEPPS Planning…Training…Implementation

2. PLANNING

3. Action Plan Step 1: Define the Aim(s) of the TeamSTEPPS Intervention • Change team began discussions in April 2008 • Aim(s) to be determined by August 2008

5. Step 3: Develop a plan to test effectiveness • During September surveys distributed and observations report reviewed with Coaches and Change Team

6. Step 4: Development an Implementation Plan • Part A: 4-hour fundamentals course given to all staff • This occurred in October 2008 • Part B: Begin actual TeamSTEPPS Interventions • Began when fundamentals course was done

7. Step 5: Develop a plan for sustained continuous improvement • Planning began in October and was implemented in January 2009

9. Training

11. MasterTraining • Approximately 6 individuals received Master Training conducted by Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and Department of Department of Defense (DoD) • The education is 2.5 days in length

ED Coach Preparation-Agenda • One Eight Hour Educational Day • Psychology of Change and Change Management-45” • Essentials of Team Training – Key Principles-120” • Team Structure • Leadership • Situation Monitoring • Mutual Support • Communication • Human Factors-60” • Coaching Workshop-60” • Coach Break out Sessions-90”

13. Teamwork Coach Tips for Success 1. Do… • Actively monitor and assess team performance • Support established performance goals and expectations • Acknowledge desired teamwork behaviors and skills through tactful and thoughtful feedback • Coach by example; be a good mentor 2. Don’t… • Coach from a distance • Coach only to problem-solve • Lecture instead of Coach 3. When providing feedback… • Be descriptive and non-evaluative • Allow for two-way interaction, which allows team members the opportunity to interact and ask questions This was a ‘tip card’ for the coaches

14. Coach Breakout Sessions-Coaching Exercise Example • Scenario 1 You are assigned to coach day shift staff in the Emergency Department (ED) on teamwork skills. When you arrive at 0900, the department is very busy and there is no evidence that teams have been formed. You locate the coordinating team nurse in the department for an update, and she tells you, “We’re not doing teamwork today, the ED is just too busy. I have made the assignments, and we are going to manage things ‘the good old fashioned way today’.”

15. Coach Breakout Sessions-Coaching Exercise Example • Scenario 2 A staff member comes to you complaining of being put on the team in the West corridor with a “slacker”. She says, “Joan makes herself scarce and almost never offers to help her teammates, even when she has down time. I’ve had it!”

16. Coach Breakout Sessions-Brief • ED Teamwork Scenario: (Brief) • Situation: You are about to start your shift in the West hallway today. • Background: The hallway is fully staffed with 3 RNs, 1 LPN, 1 PCA, 1 Ops CA, 1 ED Consultant, and 2 ED Residents. • Assessment: There are only 3 patients in the hallway this morning who have all been seen and are awaiting test results. • Recommendation: A shift brief should be done. Follow the briefing checklist within your group to practice the shift brief.

17. Coach Breakout Sessions-Huddle • ED Teamwork Scenario: (Huddle) • Situation: There is a 3 car rollover accident with multiple trauma victims coming to the ED with a 20 min ETA. From the scene it was reported that 3 adults were severe enough to be considered a level 1 trauma. 2 more adults were considered to be less severe and likely to be a level 3 trauma status. • Background: The ED is busy today yellow light status is observed and critical is full with only one bed available. It seems like a three ring circus type of atmosphere in the entire department. • Assessment: On quick assessment it appears that there is only one critical bay available and 3 rooms in the west hall available. One good thing is that the ED is fully staffed today. • Recommendation: What would you recommend? Demonstrate within your group your teamwork action plan for this situation. Be able to share/discuss your teamwork action.

18. Fundamentals For All Staff Class Objectives • Four hour interactive session • Describe role of teamwork to help reduce risk of error due to human factors • Explain the IIMF Teamwork Project • Recall and discuss opportunities for improving teamwork in the ED • Learn and demonstrate evidence-based teamwork skills and strategies with focus on ED opportunities • Define psychology of change

19. Exercise from Fundamentals Non-clinical Staff Example: • You work in operations in the control room and you notice that a patient has been mis-identified. The patient is in east hallway and the clinical team is extremely busy today. You have gone to the nurse taking care of the mis-identified patient and he requested that you “hang on a second because he is busy giving a med”. You wait for 5 minutes and then see him going to another room. It seems like he has forgotten you are there. As a group formulate a statement/question using “advocacy/assertion” language to express your need.
