WORKSHOP

TeamSTEPPS™ is an evidence-based teamwork system designed to advance the quality, safety, and efficiency of patient care by improving communication and other teamwork skills among healthcare professionals. As part of the National Implementation of TeamSTEPPS project, the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) have partnered to build a national support network working through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Quality Improvement Organizations (QIOs) and other academic healthcare delivery systems.

Heidi B. King, MS, CHE, Workshop Facilitator, CPT(P) Jodi Behmer, AN, USA, Ms. Marnie Huss, BSN, CCRN, CPAN, and Ms. Laura Maynard, MDiv lead this interactive workshop and move beyond the essentials of teamwork to enable the learner to develop an actionable plan to integrate teamwork into practice in your organization.
