SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
TeamSTEPPS 3.0 Training Assessment
In 2006 the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and
the Department of Defense developed Strategies & Tools to Enhance
Performance and Patient Safety, or TeamSTEPPS[supreg], an evidence-
based patient safety program. The main objective of the TeamSTEPPS
program is to improve patient safety by training health care staff in
various teamwork, communication, and patient safety concepts, tools,
and techniques and ultimately helping to build national capacity for
supporting teamwork-based patient safety efforts in health care
organizations. Given the advancements in health information technology,
changes in how care is delivered and a recent emphasis on engaging
patients and families as members of the healthcare team, the TeamSTEPPS
curriculum was significantly refreshed in 2023 and made into a singular
comprehensive program to better support teams in improving their
communication skills and collaboration.
The updated TeamSTEPPS training will now be implemented in
different settings of various large and small
[[Page 68620]]
healthcare and healthcare-related organization and institutions around
the country. Following implementation of the updated training, an
assessment for change in individuals and teams is necessary to examine
the degree to which the updated TeamSTEPPS program enhances users
experience, improves the teams' effectiveness, streamlines team
communication and overall increases healthcare professionals'
commitment to interdisciplinary teamwork.
This project has the following goals:
(1) Assess the overarching short-term (immediately after the
training) impact of the TeamSTEPPS program to determine what
improvements should be made to the training and how it is delivered,
and
(2) Assess the long-term (3-9 months after the training) impact of
the TeamSTEPPS program to determine how trained participants use and
implement the TeamSTEPPS tools and resources.
This project is being conducted by AHRQ through its contractor,
Chatham Communications, pursuant to AHRQ's statutory authority to
conduct and support research on health care and on systems for the
delivery of such care, including activities with respect to the
quality, effectiveness, efficiency, appropriateness, and value of
healthcare services and with respect to quality measurement and
improvement. 42 U.S.C 299a(a)(1) and (2).
Method of Collection
To achieve the goals of this project the following data collections
will be implemented:
Online surveys: Data will be collected from up to 30 trainees at
each of 115 sites (i.e., up to 3,450 respondents) via online surveys.
All trainees will be invited to complete the following online surveys:
(1) Baseline Survey (administered prior to training)
a. TeamSTEPPS Teamwork Attitudes Questionnaire (T-TAQ)
b. Knowledge assessment
c. Self-reported event rates
(2) Post-training Survey (administered immediately after training
completion)
a. Participant Training Reactions and Experiences
b. TeamSTEPPS Teamwork Attitudes Questionnaire (T-TAQ)
c. Knowledge assessment
(3) Follow-up Survey (administered 3-9 months after training
completion)
a. TeamSTEPPS Teamwork Perceptions Questionnaire (T-TAP)
b. Self-reported behavior/implementation activities
c. Facilitators and barriers to use of TeamSTEPPS concepts, tools, or
strategies
d. Self-reported changes in awareness, policies, or processes
e. Self-reported event rates
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated annualized burden hours for trainees'
time to participate in this data collection. All trainees will
complete:
(1) Pre-training Survey--estimated to take 20 minutes per response.
(2) Post-training Survey--estimated to take 20 minutes per
response.
(3) Follow-up Survey--estimated to take 20 minutes per response.
The total annual burden hours are estimated to be 3,415.5 hours.
Exhibit 2 shows the estimated annualized cost burden associated
with the respondents' time to participate in this data collection. The
cost burden is estimated to be $155,889.06.
