Jan. 11 Webinar To Explore Learning Strategies To Improve TeamSTEPPS® Deployment

Register now for a webinar on Jan. 11, from 1 to 2 p.m. ET, “Brain-Based Learning Strategies to Improve TeamSTEPPS® Deployment and Health Care High Reliability.” Oren Guttman, M.D., M.B.A., director of multidisciplinary team training at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, will explain how learning, from the perspective of cognitive neuroscience, is the successful processing of information. TeamSTEPPS is AHRQ’s evidence-based set of teamwork tools, aimed at optimizing patient outcomes by improving communication and teamwork skills among health care professionals. Webinar participants will learn about the impact of cognitive load theory in learning; understand cognitive differences between novices and experts, strategies to accelerate learning, and related implications; and understand the role of error management theory as a strategy to accelerate novice learning.

TeamSTEPPS® Webinars

As part of the TeamSTEPPS National Implementation, AHRQ is sponsoring a monthly webinar series. The webinars will be presented by various experts in the field, who will be selected by the National Implementation Team based on topic submissions.

December Webinar: Reducing Workplace Violence with TeamSTEPPS®

AHRQ is hosting a webinar on Wednesday, December 14, from 1 to 2 p.m. ET on how teams can manage and care for aggressive and disruptive patients and while maintaining quality and safety. "Reducing Workplace Violence with TeamSTEPPS®" will feature Mei Kong, R.N., M.S.N., assistant vice president and chief operating officer at New York City Health and Hospitals Coney Island, and Joseph Sweeney, director of hospital police and workplace violence prevention coordinator at New York City Health and Hospitals Bellevue.

Clinical teams can learn how to reduce risk of injury, meet regulatory standards, and become proactive members of the team by identifying behavioral triggers and underlying emotional or psychological issues that may cause a person in crisis to escalate to violent behavior. Clinical teams can apply this new knowledge, skills, and attitudes and use TeamSTEPPS tools to address difficult situations. At the conclusion of this webinar, participants be able to:

Integrate TeamSTEPPS and nonviolent interventions to improve communication and teamwork to safely manage disruptive and aggressive patients.
Reduce workplace violence with early intervention methods for de-escalation.
Improve staff and patient experience and satisfaction by building a culture of patient and staff safety.
Increase joy and meaning of work by applying new knowledge, skills, and attitudes.

Slides are available for download [PDF, 1.6 MB].

January Webinar: Brain-Based Learning Strategies to Improve TeamSTEPPS®Deployment and Health Care High Reliability

AHRQ is hosting a webinar on Wednesday, January 11, from 1 to 2 p.m. ET on Brain-Based Learning Strategies to Improve TeamSTEPPS® Deployment and Health Care High Reliability.

To reliably deliver error-free health care to patients, staff must achieve mastery of the information that defines their scope of practice. Oren Guttman, M.D., M.B.A., director of multidisciplinary team training at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, will explain how learning—from the perspective of cognitive neuroscience—is the successful processing of information. Processing includes encoding and storing information and involves the brain’s ability to:

Make sense of information to evaluate and extrapolate information.
Integrate and differentiate information with other similar information.
Retain and retrieve information.
Use information to project potential results.

Brain-based learning is the strategy of leveraging our current understanding of the human cognitive architecture to design more successful learning opportunities. Teams can employ this approach to enhance engagement and learning in individual TeamSTEPPS deployment projects to accelerate organizational culture change and improve reliability.

At the end of this webinar, participants will:

Understand the impact of cognitive load theory in learning.
Appreciate cognitive differences between novices and experts, strategies to accelerate learning, and related implications.
Understand the role of error management theory as a strategy to accelerate novice learning.

November Webinar: Integration of TeamSTEPPS® Into Clinical Practice Using Nontraditional Methodologies

AHRQ is hosting a webinar on Wednesday, November 16, from 1 to 2 p.m. ET on one team's approach to disseminating TeamSTEPPS® in a unique way. The webinar, "Integration of TeamSTEPPS Into Clinical Practice Using Nontraditional Methodologies," will feature Kelly Carlson Eberbach, RN, DNP, M.B.A., Clinical Nurse Educator at Nemours Children's Hospital; Daniel Franceschini, RN, M.S.N., EMT, Simulation Educator at Florida Hospital; and Shiva Kalidindi, M.D., M.P.H., M.S.Ed., Education Director at Nemours Children's Hospital. This team of presenters have designed creative, fun, and engaging programs for TeamSTEPPS implementation that go beyond sitting in a classroom.

At the end of this webinar, participants will:

Recognize the importance of integrating TeamSTEPPS into clinical practice.
Reflect on the application of nontraditional methodologies in TeamSTEPPS training.
Identify one or two nontraditional methods applicable to their setting.
