TeamSTEPPS Training In-Service (June 29, 2022)
TeamSTEPPS (Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety) is an evidence-based framework to optimize team performance across the healthcare delivery system. All UW Health Perioperative Services sites and areas have adopted TeamSTEPPS as the framework to help improve patient safety and quality through effective communication and teamwork skills. To support enculturation of this framework, each site will utilize simulation to enhance TeamSTEPPS learning in the interprofessional perioperative environment (in-situ simulation). This is a 1 time per month collaboration between UW Health Clinical Simulation Program and UH Surgical Services TeamSTEPPS Champions to deliver a sim-based curriculum for providing interdisciplinary perioperative teams with the opportunity to practice the use of TeamSTEPPS tools and strategies, increasing awareness and competency in use of tools and promoting importance of teamwork and patient safety as part of daily practice.
