Teamwork failures contribute to a large proportion of patient-related harm—up to twice the magnitude of harm due to technical mistakes or issues of clinical competence. Team training programs have demonstrated strong impact on teamwork and safety culture and can serve as a fundamental strategy for reducing preventable harm.
This course equips patient safety leaders with the skills to develop, implement, evaluate and sustain team training programs in their facilities using TeamSTEPPS® Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety. Developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and the Department of Defense Patient Safety Program, TeamSTEPPS® has rapidly become a virtual industry standard for teamwork

Our Training Program
This program’s ultimate goal is to help your teams to develop an effective, sustainable team training program that is tailored to your organization. Components of the program are:
- A two-day, virtual workshop covering teamwork competencies, implementation of team training and evaluation planning. Teams bring their data — such as safety culture survey scores and adverse event reports — to devise plans for their workplaces. With roughly 30 participants per workshop, teams have ample time to mature their implementation planning and receive feedback from Armstrong Institute faculty and peers.
- Optional Phone Consultation. For an additional fee of $250 per hour, your team may seek individualized coaching and consulting from Armstrong Institute faculty.
Who Should Attend
We require a registration of three participants or more from each institution. We firmly believe this will help ensure a measure of success in implementation. Exceptions are possible; email [email protected] to request a consultation.
