AHRQ Patient Safety Network





A meta-analysis of the effectiveness of crew resource management training in acute care domains.

O'Dea A, O'Connor P, Keogh I. Postgrad Med J. 2014 Nov 4; [Epub ahead of print].

This meta-analysis found that while there is clear evidence that team training had positive effects onknowledge, attitudes, and behaviors, there is little evidence that such improvements persist over time. Studies to date have not demonstrated that team training augments clinical outcomes. The authors call for larger, multicenter, longitudinal studies in order to draw clear conclusions about the impact of such training on safety.
