SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
TeamSTEPPS[supreg] 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 increase national capacity for supporting
teamwork-based patient safety efforts in health care organizations.
The updated TeamSTEPPS training will now be implemented in
different settings of various large and small 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 information collection 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 via online questionnaires. As such, we are
requesting OMB approval to conduct three online questionnaires to
assess the effectiveness of the updated TeamSTEPPS[supreg] training.
(1) Baseline Survey (administered prior to training)--Will include
the TeamSTEPPS Teamwork Attitudes Questionnaire (T-TAQ), knowledge
assessment questions, and self-reported event rates.
(2) Post-training Survey (administered immediately after training
completion)--Will include questions to assess participant training
reactions and experiences, the TeamSTEPPS Teamwork Attitudes
Questionnaire (T-TAQ), and knowledge assessment questions.
(3) Follow-up Survey (administered 3-9 months after training
completion)--Will include the TeamSTEPPS Teamwork Perceptions
Questionnaire (T-TAP); self-reported behavior/implementation
activities; facilitators and barriers to use of TeamSTEPPS concepts,
tools, or strategies; self-reported changes in awareness, policies, or
processes, and self-reported event rates.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated annualized burden hours for the
respondent's time to participate in the information collection. Each
training participant survey will be completed by up to 30 individuals
from each of 115 sites and is estimated to require 20 minutes each (60
minutes total across the surveys) to complete. The total annualized
burden is estimated to be 3,450 hours. Exhibit 2 shows the estimated
annualized cost burden based on the respondents' time to participate in
the study. The total cost burden is estimated to be $160,494.
